Nonrenewable Resources

Why do you think our courntry uses so many nonrenewable resources? What is one thing that you think that everyone one could do to help save on the use of these nonrenewable resources?

I think that we use them because we havent made very many ways not to yet. It is much easier to go get gas car than to go get a hybrid. Also when you buy houses most of them dont have energy efficient appliances so it is easier just to not use them. I think that one thing that you could to would be to get more efficient cars that would get better mileage which would not waste as much gas.

we need to get energy and we do not have enough green energy to go around for the amount of people we have compared to energy. But with new technology we have enough enough energy to go around

I think we do because we havent found out some that are renewable or some people dont know (or care) what the effects of. We could not use so much gasoline and natural gas by driving less or getting vehicles that are more efficient.

We use so many because we have alot of them and we really dont want to spend more money on anything else. One easy thing that we could do is use more effiecient light bulbs. Those flurlecent light bulbs use half as much energy and are way better. That would greatly reduce energy emmissoins.

I think that we use them so much because we dont have anything else to use. We dont have the equipment that doesnt use just renewable resources yet. We do have some that can run on both non and renewable resources. I think that we could conserve oil and not drive unless neccesary. We could walk or ride bike.

I think that we use so much nonrenewable resources because we are trying to reduce the use of things and stop polluting the earth and recycling. Some things that everybody could do to help sace the use of these nonrenewable recources is to use energy efficient cars that wouldnt waste as much gas. We could also drive less and ride bikes.

I think we use so many nonrenewable sources because we have a lot of factories, businesses, people, etc. We make a lot of things that use nonrenwable sources. Also, we have a lot of technology. We have ways to not use nonrenawable sources, but it is going to take a while to completely change to them. We should try to get there, and not drive as much.

i think we use them because they seem to be the most efficient source of energy. If they can get a car to go faster and longer with gasoline then why would they want to use something else. Ya it hurts the enviroment but i think people are more focused on getting the job done and when it comes down to that, they use what ever works

Because people may think that we need nonrenewable resources because they give us certain things that we may need. We could try using renewable resources or maybe less non rewnewable resources.

I think we use them because we havent figured the best way not to. I think it would be easier to just get things that are more effient that are harmful. We should just make efficient cars.

I think that we use the things because they are what make use get more mobile. I think that we could just recycle all of the things and we could just use less of them. We really need to cut back on all of our usage of the fossil fuels and things like that.

I think that we use these resources because there isn't any thing else to use or we haven't found way not to use them. With more technology being created we will be able to reuse these resources. One thing could be like just slowing down on using these resources.

I think that oour country uses so many nonrenewable resources because we dont really think about it all of the time. We could do many things. We could try to not use things like gasoline. We could replace our normal cars with a hybrid.

Matthew said...

We use nonrenewable recources because we dont look for resources.
We sould use renewable like solar and wind energy to power are homes and cars.

Becuase our country is full of wimps. We think we need new stuff when we can use our other old things and it will work just fine. WE could get more efficent cars and recycle our food and it will be a little nasty but it all goes in the same spot.

We use nonrenewable resources because there are so many things that we need to use them for. I think that people could find ways to use renewable resources and then once they are done they can recycle them. You could use things that are energy efficient.

Carson Stange said...

i think that we use so many nonrenewable resources because we are still figuring out alternative energy sources. I also think our government is selfish and isnt trying hard engough to come up with alternative energy sources. I think that some ways to cut down on the use of nonrenewable resources is to invest in renewable resources and development.

I think that the reason that we use so many nonrenewable recources b/c we havent spent enough time on finding different alternative fuels. The main thing that any person in the country can do to help save the uses of these fuels, is that they can just stop driving when its unneccesary. If its a relatively short distance, then people can just try to ride your bike more or walk more.

I think the United States uses so many nonrenewable to power our cars
and to heat our houses. If you just buy a hybrid you won't be releasing any harmful gases into the air.

labytecblike natural gas we could all get wood burning stoves and heaters in every room of the house and the the natural gas percentage would go up and the we could use it again
