1. Definitions 1. Resource: Anything we can get from the environment to meet our needs and wants. 2.Perpetual Resources: Resources that are renewed continuously on a human time scale. 3.Renewable Resources: Resources than can be replenished fairly rapidly through natural processes, as long as they are not used up faster than they are replaced. 4.Non-Renewable Resources: Resources that exist in fixed quantities in the earth ’ s crust. It takes millions to billions of years to renew these resources.

Compare each country ’ s per capita consumption to the world average of 1.64 toe. Units are in thousands of toe, which is defined as ‘ metric tons oil equivalent ’ – roughly the energy contained in a metric ton of crude oil.
