Obtaining nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels, has had two significant impacts on the environment. Firstly, their extraction and use have contributed to air and water pollution, leading to adverse health effects and ecological damage. Secondly, the increasing demand for nonrenewable resources due to the growing population has led to overexploitation and depletion of these limited resources, causing ecological imbalance and potential scarcity in the future.
