  2. What is the environmental significance of the process of “consumption”? Consumption can outstrip the natural resources available and lead to overexploitation of the environment. Extravagant consumption can create an environment of raising one’s status among peers. The process of consumption is an economic act, providing the “demand” necessary for the “supply” of the environment. Consumption can generate economic growth that relies significantly on the importation of natural resources, which benefits the environments of less-developed countries.

  3. Question 2 Which of the following describes the relationship among population growth, consumption of natural resources, and environmental degradation? When individual demands on natural resources are far greater than the requirements for survival, people in affluent nations deplete resources and degrade the global environment through increased consumption of nonessential items to satisfy their desires. Rapid population growth does not overwhelm and deplete a country’s soils, forests, and other natural resources when the amount of resources essential to an individual’s survival is small. Rate of resource consumption affects the environment far less that the explosion in population.

  4. There is no relationship between population growth, consumption of natural resources, and environmental degradation. Question 3 Non-renewable resource is to renewable resource as living is to non-living. limited supply is to sustainable supply. tree is to coal.

  5. wind energy is to fossil fuel energy. Question 4 Examples of non-sustainable human activities or behaviors include: recycling attempts to limit human population growth using technology to improve car mileage use of non-renewable fossil fuels
