A student states that natural resources could be saved if people made everything they need in labs. What is the main problem with this idea?
Options are
There are not enough synthetic resources yet to make what people need
People might think it is fine to waste a lot of the materials since they just came from a lab
The materials made in labs will still pollute the environment and destroy natural resources
Anything made in the lab requires natural resources to produce it
1 answer
The main problem with this idea is that anything made in the lab still requires natural resources to produce it. Even synthetic materials or products created in a lab use raw materials that come from the earth, such as minerals, metals, water, and energy sources. Therefore, the idea that natural resources could be saved by making everything in labs is not accurate.
