Natural resources have been since the days of our forefathers and they are still here now that you are. Nature has its way of creating balance, it has its way of replenishing the resources. No matter how much human mine gold there are many more yet to be discovered.
No matter how humans use water, some parts of some countries are still flooded. Not many even know about precious stones. Yes, oil is being mined and used a lot but there's still more yet to be discovered. Nature can balance itself, we just need to know how to manage these resources for our greater good.
As technology increases, natural resources seem to be running out, but, indeed, natural resources are still inexhaustible. As technology increases, more natural resources will be discovered. And the day natural resources are exhausted, human life will also be over, because no matter how many artificial resources are created, they cannot compete with natural resources or replace them.
Unnecessary and misuse of natural resources is putting the people in trouble. When humans tampered with or misused natural resources, they brought trouble to themselves, such as the misuse of oil and different gases. The cause of the problem is only on humans, they can neither spoil the natural resources nor the nature, so it is also important to use the natural resources properly, and they should be valued.
