1. Renewable VS. Nonrenewable resources Hailey Montville Period 6 May 4 th 2011

2. Renewable Cheaper source of energy More efficient Available to use right away Don’t harm the environment as much But they also have to be watched carefully for accidents and so they don’t exceed the earths capacity to replenish them

3. Nonrenewable The earth cannot produce enough to replace what we are taking out They will eventually become scarce, causing it to be way too expensive Cause a great amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases A lot more accidents are with these resources and the mining and drilling to get them

7. What I've learned You can tell by the pictures that renewable resources are healthier for the environment I learned that most renewable resources are cheaper, and a lot of the nonrenewable ones are expensive to the environment Getting renewable resources is much easier In a few years, oil and petroleum will become so scarce, that the prices will rise to where we have to use renewable sources
