Question 38

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the nature of natural resources and their use by people?


A) Slowing down the rate of population growth as well as reducing resource consumption levels will allow for more time to develop technological advances to find alternatives to non-renewable resources.
B) Even renewable resources must be used in a manner that allows for them to replenish or replace themselves and thus these resources should more accurately be considered potentially renewable and not be overexploited.
C) Developing countries are often faced with the difficult choice between exploiting natural resources to provide for their expanding populations in the short term (to pay for food or to cover debts) or conserving those resources for future generations.
D) Poverty does not impose any pressures on natural resources as the poor use barely any resources at all and what they do use is used very carefully and wisely for long term survival.
