Solution:The benefits of using resources with short term goals include
All the natural resources will be available for the present generation to use for their needs
Increase in the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the country
Rapid growth of commercial industries
More comforts in the life of the present generation
Increase in economic growth
But this is not the right way to utilise natural resources.We should use our resources with long term goals.This is because overexploitation of natural resources definitely harms our environment.The present generation should preserve resources for future generations by following sustainable management of resources.
Sustainable management of resources
It is the process of using naturally available resources and maintaining the functioning of our ecosystem and also fulfilling the needs of the present generation without affecting the needs of future generations.
