Slide How much non-renewable and renewable materials do we have? Philosophy 2021 Scarcity steadily increases and the even renewable materials have thresholds. Cutting down trees will at a certain point/amount lead to erosion and collapse of the ecosystem with no more trees being able to grow. Space is also a limiting factor. For a crops to grow, it needs a lot of things, but one profound requirement is space to grow.
