Natural Resource Depletion

First, what do we understand by natural resource depletion? In simple words, natural resource depletion is basically consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural sources are available as renewable and non-renewable sources of energy however; use of any of these forms beyond their rate of replacement leads to natural resource depletion.
The problem of natural resource depletion has almost doubled in the last 100 years with the drastic increase in population which has even led to population explosion. To meet the needs of the human population, the rate of depletion of natural resources has become threatening for the environment. It is certainly a big risk for the survival of the future generation as well.
The fast consumption of fossil fuels leads to emission of greenhouse gases, causing environmental problems like global warming and climate changes.
On the global platform, the awareness regarding this problem has spread among people and they are even making efforts to start using renewable sources of energy like solar, biogas, wind and geothermal energy. However, it must be understood by every individual that any form of energy should be used judiciously in order to make it last rather than exhaust to fulfill the needs of one generation.
