Answer 3

Renewable resources may not be considered fully sustainable because they can still have negative environmental impacts if not managed properly. For example, although renewable energy sources like wind and solar power do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation, their production and disposal of components can still have environmental consequences. Additionally, the extraction of raw materials for renewable energy technologies can also have negative impacts on local ecosystems and communities. Therefore, it is important to consider the entire lifecycle of renewable resources to ensure they are used in a sustainable manner.
