There are no longer enough natural resources to sustain current levels of economic growth. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Provide examples and supporting evidence to back up your opinion on this subject.

In

this

day and age, the natural resources of our earth are not enough to meet the needs of the growing global population. From my perspective, I almost agree with

this

statement that, in the near future, we will lack natural resources. In

this

essay, I will outline the reasons why I hold

this

opinion.

To begin

with, there are various reasons that make me agree with

this

statement. The primary reason for

this

is that the demand for sustenance tends to increase as the population grows. At the present, food production and cultivable areas are not enough when compared with the need for consumption around the world.

As a result

,

people

in several countries, including South Africa, are facing food shortages.

Furthermore

, the deforestation problem is

also

vital.

People

destroy the forest in order to build their habitat and do some agricultural work for a living.

This

matter caused the animals to lose their homes, causing the balance of the environment to break down.

Last

but not least, there are a lot of pollutants that come from industry.

This

toxic air will make the animal species extinct. Sometimes, it will make it hard for the farmer to cultivate or farm animals.

Nevertheless

, some

people

argue that

although

our world will no longer maintain natural production, scientists can solve

this

issue by inventing new technologies to deal with food or energy shortage.

However

, there are some natural products that we cannot produce.

For example

, petroleum and coal can be used to produce energy for cars and generate electricity, respectively.

Consequently

, if we do not save all these things, they will disappear from the world forever. In conclusion, I totally agree with

this

viewpoint. There are many reasons to believe that a natural resource shortage can happen in the future because of what

people

need.

Although

we can fix some issues by using technology, things that cannot be replaced are still gone.
