How humans impact in the depletion of nonrenewable resources?
Humans destroy non-renewable sources everyday in many ways. Possibly the most prominent and destructive depletion is that of the Earth’s oil reverve, everyday burning through thousands of barrels of oil. Oil, as well as coal, is also used in the production of power, creating heat to boil water, creating steam, turning turbines and therefore generating power. Also these fossil fuels are used to create energy to destroy some of the products we have created, i.e. plastics. It is a viscous circle of destruction.
