Obtaining nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, has significant impacts on the environment. The extraction and burning of these resources release greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Additionally, the process of mining and drilling can lead to habitat destruction, air and water pollution, and health issues for nearby communities. As the global population continues to increase, the demand for nonrenewable resources also rises, putting more pressure on the environment and exacerbating these negative impacts. Furthermore, population growth leads to the expansion of urban areas and increased infrastructure development, which further contributes to the destruction of natural habitats and ecosystems.
