Resource consumption is about the consumption of non-renewable, or less often, renewable resources. Specifically, it may refer to:

water consumption

energy consumption

electric energy consumption

world energy consumption

natural gas consumption/gas depletion

oil consumption/oil depletion

logging/deforestation

fishing/overfishing

land use/land loss or

resource depletion and

general exploitation and associated environmental degradation

Measures of resource consumption are resource intensity and resource efficiency. Industrialization and globalized markets have increased the tendency for overconsumptionof resources. The resource consumption rate of a nation does not usually correspond with the primary resource availability, this is called resource curse.

Unsustainable consumption by the steadily growing human population may lead to resource depletion and a shrinking of the earth's carrying capacity.
