A problem does exsist; we are using more of our nonrenewable resources than our renewable resources. We are using more resources than we can produce, such as, coal is a nonrenewable resource. Coal is formed from fossilized plants compressing over millions of years, so since fossilization takes so long it is much harder to produce such resources. Coal takes millions of years to be created, therefore, we are using it faster than it can be produced.Also other commodities such as wood, paper, and leather should be considered to be reused, because like coal and other non renewable resources, it takes longer to make them as compared to just reusing them. The United States uses about 92%of coal for generating electricity at this rate coal will no longer be present for our consuming.
