Definition of renewable resources

The renewable resource it's a type of natural resource that can be renewed from natural processes and with a much higher speed as the human being consumes them, that is, it they renew so quickly that they do not run out and then men can always use them.

Natural resources that are not depleted because they regenerate faster than their consumption

It should be noted that a natural resource is that good that nature offers us and that as such does not present any type of human intervention.

Natural resources are widely valued for this and because they certainly contribute to the well-being and the development of different products necessary for life.

Sun, water, wind, among the most precious ...

Among the types of renewable resources are: the water, the solar energy, the wind, the tide and the Energy hydroelectric.

In some way we could qualify them as eternal since it is very difficult for them to wear out over time.

Now, there are also other renewable resources that if they are produced in a regular way over time we can also count on them, such is the case of

wood, paper, leather, among others.

The most important source of energy on our planet is undoubtedly the solar, because the sun not only allows to produce electricity directly from the rays of this but for example the hydraulic energy it is generated thanks to the combination of the sun's heat with the wind that allows water to be carried from low to high areas.

For its part,wind power, that is the wind, It also abounds in the world and due to the cleanliness that it supposes it is of great help in reducing the negative effects caused by greenhouse gases, so harmful to our environment natural.

However, we find it a disadvantage and that is that it is intermittent so we cannot strictly depend on it.

In the case of hydroelectric power, is present thanks to movement that occurs in oceans and other waters.

If you put some turbines, it is extremely useful to produce electrical energy.

Water is also a renewable resource as long as its use occurs within a framework of responsibility, that is, that its transit, treatment and circulation be controlled.

The main characteristic of these resources and that is what will differentiate them from the opposite resources, which are the nonrenewable resources is his sustainability, that is, they can be produced in a sustainable way over time and not run out, something that of course does not happen with non-renewable ones that do run out with their use.

Within the group of non-renewable we find the gasoline, diesel, coal, and natural gas.

A complex and hyper-populated society like the current one demands greater awareness in its consumption and an anti-depletion plan

Today's societies are hyper complex and we also live on a planet that has areas that are hyper populated and that by case incessantly demand the satisfaction of needs, which translates into consumption of resources of all kind.

Various goods and services, energy, are the object of massive consumption and this generates some alarm in governments, environmentalists and in society more committed, that notices this phenomenon, because of course, appreciates that resources will begin to run out sooner or later with the frantic pace of the consumption.

Faced with this state of affairs, a change of paradigm that promotes the use of resources that are not exhausted, the popular renewable ones, because they continue to be generated thanks to cycle of the planet, and also they are not polluting and can provide us utilities similar to those of energy classical.

Among the most emblematic cases we can mention the solar panels that are very useful to produce solar energy, the cars that are charged by the energy of the sun, the windmills that are a fantastic source of energy that can be used at the behest of various activities, among others.

But unfortunately not everything is so simple and the main disadvantage these resources face is that obtaining them is not so simple and requires a large initial investment.

So, faced with this scenario, many countries prefer to invest in traditional non-renewable resources such as oil and gas and leave aside the natural ones indicated by those high costs.

It all depends on a decision politics added to economic resources.

The development of technology today allows us to make these natural resources increasingly efficient to produce energy, however, it is necessary to develop the infrastructure that this is permitted and of course promote its use among the population, tasks that the government must undoubtedly carry out.
