Exploring Renewable vs Nonrenewable Resources

This video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science discusses the differences between renewable and non-renewable natural resources. It explains how renewable resources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, can be replenished within a human lifespan, while non-renewable resources like coal, oil, and natural gas take millions of years to form. The video emphasizes the importance of conserving resources through reducing, reusing, and recycling to ensure sustainability. It also provides practical tips for everyday conservation efforts.
