Shrinking World Resources (1 Viewer)

[JoshyPutts07]

HI! First post ever!

umm, i have an assessment due next week and it takes the form of a written report

the question is:

1) discuss the issues associated with shrinking world resources in regard to one natural product that is not a fossil fuel

2) identify the replacement materials used and current research in place to find a replacement for the named material

I've looked everywhere yet cannot find a suitable and relevant natural resource!



HELP!!!!!!

if you've got the conquering chem text book its got a whole range of natural reasources which have been or are being replaced

I usedd rubber; its good.....

need for rubber due to automotive boom......

as it is obtained from rubber trees, these resources are depleting, synthetics need to be found.........


Styrene butadeine rubber is an alternative( after vulcanising)

so on .....
