“Anything that can be used to satisfy a need is a resource”
Sources : The main thing from which a resource is made.
Characters Of Resources
Utility Value Economical
Value
Utility or usability is what makes an object
or substance a resource.
Value means worth. All resources have some
value.
Time and technology are two important factors
that can change substances into resources.
People themselves are the most important
resource.
It is their ideas, knowledge, inventions and
discoveries that lead to the creation of more
resources.
Types of Resources
Resources that are drawn from Nature and
used without much modification are called
natural resources.
The Distribution Of Resources
The distribution of resources is unequal because
these factors differ so much over the earth.
People use natural resources to make buildings,
bridges, roads, machinery and vehicles, which are
known as Human Made Resources.
In simple words –
when humans use natural things like woods, sand or
metals for making valuable things like furniture, pipes
etc. these things are called Human Made Resources.
Human or people are considered to be resource
because -
they can transform the things available in
nature into resources through their needs and abilities.
Education and health help in making people a
valuable resource.
Conserving Resources
Using resources carefully and giving them time
to get renewed is called Resource conservation.
Balancing the need to use resources and also
conserve them for the future is called
Sustainable development.
Each person can contribute by reducing
consumption, recycling and reusing thing.
NOTE :
The future of our planet and its people is linked
with our ability to maintain and preserve the life
support system that nature provides. Therefore it
is our duty to ensure that :
• all uses of renewable resources are sustainable.
• the diversity of life on the earth is conserved.
• the damage to natural environmental system is
minimized.
