The main problem with the idea that everything could be made in labs to save natural resources is A. anything made in the lab requires natural resources to produce it. While labs can create various materials, the processes typically still depend on natural resources, whether it's raw materials, energy, or other inputs, which means that the overall consumption of natural resources may not be significantly reduced, and could potentially even increase in some cases.
