The extraction of non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels and minerals, often leads to significant environmental degradation, including habitat destruction, air and water pollution, and climate change. As the global population increases, the demand for these resources intensifies, resulting in more aggressive extraction methods that can further accelerate environmental damage.
