Non-renewable and Renewable Resources How to not use up what we got to create the energy we need
3
World population Can stabilize after fertility rates fall below replacement level
4
Resource most impacted water
5
Diseases Dysentery—spread through unsafe water sources TB—spread through close contact then international travel Malaria—spread through global warming providing increases in disease carrying mosquitoes

Non-renewable Energy Sources
21
Natural Gas Natural gas is usually found underground near an oil source. It is a mixture of light hydrocarbons including methane, ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
