The natural resources and sustainable development

Abstract

The use of natural resources into the productive technological processes means the direct consumption of resources for satisfaction of needs of products and services. The exploitation of natural resources can be performed into a complex, coordinated manner, through the simultaneous satisfaction of more consumption demands.The actual generation evidently supports the degradation and sometimes decreasing of natural resources because of the past generations. The future generation will support not only the actual cost of environment degradation, of natural resources diminishing but also the cost of accumulation into the environment of atmospheric pollutants and toxic heavy metals, of losing the tropical forests and biodiversity. For this reason it is necessary the actual consideration of the needs for the future generation, even if that implies supplementary charges for political institutions that are obliged to satisfy only the economical, social and environmental demands and needs for the actual generation.
