Q.I Can a gift of nature become a resource in the future?How
Ans. Yes, a gift of nature can become a resource in the following manner:
Foremost, if human beings are able to recognise any substances as a resource.
Subsequently, over a period of time there is a
development of or in technology which has made the substance to transform/convert or to be utilised as a resource.
Finally the value provides the economical worth of a substance.
For example: Uranium found in Ladakh. It was discovered by people, with time technology will
be used to utilise it and then its economical value will finally either transform or not tranform it into a resource.

Q.II Why do you think the use of resources should be sustainable?
Ans. The use of resources should be sustainable because many non renewable resources can get exhausted if they are overexploited. Over exploitation of resources would result in depletion of various fossil fuels, metals etc. This will hamper the economic development of the nations. Sustainability of resources means that resources should be utilized in such a way that requirements of not only the present generation but also the future generations are met.
