Impact of Non-Renewable Resources

The video discusses renewable and non-renewable resources, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices. Renewable resources like trees, water, and fish are being overused, affecting the environment. Non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas pollute the environment. The video emphasizes the need for sustainable practices, like reforestation and using clean energy, to mitigate environmental damage.
