What to Focus On
- A resource must be technologically accessible, economically feasible, and culturally acceptable.
- Resources are a function of human activities, not merely free gifts of nature.
- Human beings interact with nature through technology and create institutions to accelerate economic development.
- Resources are classified on four bases: origin, exhaustibility, ownership, and status of development.
- Biotic resources have life; abiotic resources are non-living.
- Renewable resources can be replenished; non-renewable resources cannot be replaced within human timescales.
- Indiscriminate use of resources has led to depletion, inequality, and ecological crises.
- Sustainable development means development without compromising future generations' needs.
- Rio Earth Summit 1992 adopted Agenda 21 for sustainable development.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Resources are free gifts of nature that exist independently of human activity.
Sustainable development means stopping all development to protect the environment.
Khadar (new alluvial soil) is less fertile than Bangar (old alluvial soil) because it is younger and less developed.
