Answer 1

basically resource extraction from the earth can not be stopped, but with moderate and judicious use it can be made sustainable. A balance needs to be achieved between the short-term and long term interests and the importance of conservation and concern for nature, in this, can not be understated. We have not received the earth from the ancestors to exploit it the way we want, rather, we are only the ephemeral guardians of this treasure-trove, whose future guardians are waiting for. And, it would be wrong on our part to cheat them by finishing the treasure in the trove by using everything which is actually meant for the future generations, leaving only the guardianship to them.
