Renewable resources, such as plants, animals, water, air, and sunlight, can replenish naturally or with human help. Non-renewable resources, like nuclear energy, fossil fuels, and minerals, cannot be replaced once used. The video emphasizes the importance of conserving non-renewable resources through recycling and sustainable practices.
