Week 4 Activity 1 Uses of Resources

Hi, it’s hmsdavid and in this post, I wanted to talk about the uses of resources in our world. And also how it affects a lot of things.

Do you ever think that to make something small takes a lot of energy or materials to make it? Well, when you make things it uses a lot of resources like energy, chemicals, and water and this all translates to some sort of pollution either big or small. And in some cases, the whole ecosystem is destroyed. The biggest impact in the uses of resources that has on our environment is Raw material extraction.

Raw material extraction can result in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, ecosystem damages, and global warming exacerbation. Products need energy and water, as well as land for shipping improper uses of resources, can result in noxious emissions. This problem is something that is not mentioned often and this is a reminder to think about what resources we use and how it impacts life. Here is a LINK to where I researched the information from and some pictures below.
