    Resources are scarce for the obvious reason, as they will eventually run out. Every object requires the factors of production, and this includes land (finite), labor (finite), and capital(finite, as the previous two are finite). So, it is economically, thus physically, impossible for resources to not be scarce, as they are made up of limited factors, such as land and labor. My calculator batteries are an example of a scarce resource, as they will eventually run out. One could suggest that I could just buy more batteries; however, that, too, would technically be limited, as there is not an infinite supply of batteries in the world.…

    A Swedish proverb says “don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water”. The sad story is that most of us today are throwing away so much, it is very likely that there will be no resources in the future. Many of our practices today are putting a lot of stress on future resources and we might soon find many of our needs unsatisfied because of our throw away attitude and careless practices. There are many reasons as to why we are subject to the jeopardy of a resource-deficient future. One of these is the constant demand for better lifestyles and standards of living. Another reason is our increased consumption of food, products and materials as well as our increased use of items that pollute our environment and make it unsafe for living.…
