Nowadays people are trying to reduce and save the environment, but the only problem is they don't know how! The solution is renewable resources. What are renewable resources you may ask? They are any natural resource that can be replenished naturally over time. Renewable resources differ from non-renewable resources because non-renewable resources will not replenish in the essential time period. These resources, both renewable and non-renewable, are used to generate electricity and energy to make our lives easier than they already are. If you remember from earlier, we learned that non-renewable resources are limited sources of energy because they take time (millions of years) to produce. This means that once they are finished, but it will not mean the end of the world. We humans will have to rely on renewable resources like wind and solar energy to power ourselves in the world. This is why people stress switching to renewable resources now, so that when coal, oil, and natural gas are gone, we humans won't be too shocked. Switching to renewable resources like biomass fuels will reduce global warming simply because the number one cause of our environmental dilemma is the fault of non-renewable resources like coal and oil that are repeatedly burned in our atmosphere. From an economic perspective, the price of raw materials will increase when non-renewable resources are exhausted due to their scarcity. This could cause a major problem for countries that depend on trade in these resources. Biomass fuels are renewable resources made up of fuels that contain energy produced from organic material. It is a safe and sustainable source of energy and is used to generate electricity and other...... middle of paper ...... e. Np, nd Web.
