photosynthesis (Trefil and Hazen 2013, p.53). Over time, rock, sand, and sediment concealed the organic matter and after some years it established huge quantities of fuels. These under the surface resources are still the main fuel source for heating, electricity, and powering all transportation around the world. Most natural gas formation is due to the breakdown of organic matter which was eventually covered by layers of sand, rock and mud that later turned into sedimentary rock. Buried organic…

work hand in hand but are not the same. Environmental protection is an important aspect of sustainable development as it plays a major role in protecting the finite resources that are available to humanity. The core idea of sustainable development is growth; the ability to continue to grow without destroying or squandering the resources available. It is the delicate balance between progress and preservation as the idea is…

this flying space-rock known as Earth. The population avaliable to a society meant the amount of workers which can gather, use, and produce various resources. This combined with the ability of humanity to use tools and technology, allowed human population to grow further more, feeding back into a positive cycle, eventually effectively eliminating natural predators within the habitat and regional communities of humanity, despite the weakness of humans as individuals.

These materials are not owned privately, they are held in common. Hardin’s main assumption about the commons can be separated in three categories; the world is biophysically finite, over-population can be considered as an example of the tragedy of the commons, and the system commons for breeding must be abandoned. The tragedy of the commons…

the whole the environment, air and water source in the worldwide because of overexploitation of natural resources catering for the needs of housing, food production, and industrial production. In fact, the amount of solid waste generated in the environment is very large because of human activities; it begets the sources of concentrated solid waste exceeding biodegradable ability of the natural environment in urban areas, agricultural areas, and industrial areas. As a statistic in 2010, “the…

Todays economy in Canada is heavily based upon natural resources. That encompasses: mining, forestation and selling natural gas. These are all wonderful resources that Canada is lucky to have. The one problem is, it is essential we regulate how much of them, we use and how deep into the wilderness we progress in order to obtain them. As a result of harnessing…
