The thousands of materials that we need can be classified into renewable and non-renewable resources. The former include cotton; wood , rubber ,animals and Cellulose. With proper management, such resources will be available for man’s use indefinitely .For example, as long as water ,food and care are made available animal populations such as sheep and cattle will continue to grow and produce.
