Destroying natural resources
Description
Destroying natural resources involves the deliberate or negligent depletion, degradation, or removal of forests, water, soil, minerals, and biodiversity to achieve short-term economic or developmental goals. This strategy often addresses immediate resource demands or land use needs but results in long-term environmental harm. Practical remedies include implementing sustainable resource management, enforcing environmental regulations, promoting restoration projects, and encouraging responsible consumption to balance human needs with ecosystem preservation.
Counter-claim
When all the land is destroyed, and all the fish are dead, then will the white man learn that he can't eat money (Native American saying).
