Problems related to Indiscriminate use of resources
The over use of resources has caused several major problems:
- Depletion of Resources: Resources are finishing just to complete the need of greedy people.
- Accumulation of Resources: Resources are left in few hands only, divided society into 2 parts- Rich and Poor.
- Indiscriminate exploitation of Resources: Resources are wasted which has led to global warming, ozone layer depletion, pollution, and land degradation.

A – Accumulation of Resources
I – Indiscriminate use of resources
D- Depletion of resources
