Question

How would these advantages differ from the advantages of using a long-term perspective in managing our resources?

Answer 1

The management of our natural resources requires a long-term perspective. The advantage of long-term perspective is: 
Resources will last for future generations and they will not get fully exhausted.
 Resources will be distributed equitably and just a handful of rich and influential people will not reap the benefit of the development of the resources.
 Environmental problems and damage to the environment will not be caused, if long- term perspective is kept in mind. Thus by sticking to long-term perspective, ecological imbalance wit) not be caused.

Answer 2

Explanation:

If resources are used in accordance with short term aims, present generation will be able to utilize the resources properly for growth and development.

But if we use resources with long term aims, future generation will also be able to utilize resources for fulfilling its needs.

Thus it would be better to use our natural resources with a long term perspective so that it could be used by the present generation as well as conserved for future use. But it will deprive future generation from the benefits of these resources as resources are exhaustible.
