Annually Renewable
Annually renewable resources are those that can be restored and replenished by nature within one year.
All products are made from the resources of the Earth, and in order for there to be a sustainable supply,
the resource must have the ability to renew itself. With the right sustainable use -- respecting the source,
respecting the ability of the source to resurge, and not asking the source to provide more than is natural for
it -- renewable resources naturally replenish themselves and can last as long as the Earth.
Of course, all the resources of the earth are constantly being made by nature, but there is an immense
difference in the time it takes for a microorganism to reproduce vs. a fish to be born vs. a tree to grow vs.
crude oil to form. Ideally, we should use all resources at the rate at which they can be replenished by
nature.
Renewable resources include all plants, animals, surface water, soil, and sunshine. Certain basic minerals
(such as salt or clay or the silica used to make glass) are also sometimes considered renewable because
they are among the basic building blocks of nature and are extremely abundant.
That a resource is renewable is a prerequisite to sustainability. But it is only the first step. Once you have
determined that a product is made from a renewable resource, you also have to look for some indicator of
sustainable practices. Look for products that are organically grown, recycled, or sustainably harvested.
Agriculture, for example, is sustainable when the fertility of the soil is maintained, so that crops can
continually be planted and harvested without depleting the vitality of the field. By contrast, agricultural
methods that employ toxic pesticides and artificial fertilizers destroy topsoil and eventually make it
impossible to use the land for growing crops. Even though food plants are a renewable resource, poor
farming practices can reduce or even eliminate supply.
