“Choices” and the misunderstanding on meaning of “Scarcity” has put the whole world in a chaos. Choices are releated to unlimited human Wants; Whereas, Natural Resources are component of Nature so complicated phenomenon to be understood by the limited knowledge. Here i just put few logics to support Natural Resources are not Scare only the problem is there is that Human beings have priotised unlimited wants which social institutions with limited knowledge are ineffecient to manage.
people pollute water and complain “Resources are Scarce”. Whereas,
Natural Resources are not Scarce beoz:
1. Humans wants are unlimted.
2. Over exploitation and Missmanagement of Resources are
rampat.
3. Population growth rate is ever growing.
4. Some Natural resources are living process and in a life
cycle for eg. Water Cycle.
5. Human being have limited knowledge because Brain has certain limitations.
6. Technology can never be 100% efficient.
Natural Resource Management needs a great wisdom. Respect the Nature, they are a living Process. Natural Resources have to be identified and studied very carefully, the way they are produced by the Nature, and the way they are decomposed by the Nature itself.
totally agreeing with the concept………… it is a well known fact that universe is unlimited……. that universe has abundance of oppertunity………….. its just the mental model of the people which creates scarcity.
its a common notion among human beings to consider themselves as a limitation in the world they are living hence creating a space for hoarding and unsatisfaction , … in short greediness.
it may not be just ‘want’ becoz its a postive word… it should be ‘want more’ n ‘want more than you’ which is the real problem…
