Answer 1

Obtaining nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels and minerals, can lead to environmental damage, such as habitat destruction and pollution. As the population increases, the demand for these resources rises, which can result in even more extraction activities and worsening environmental issues. Additionally, using nonrenewable resources contributes to climate change, which affects us all as the population grows and more energy is needed.
