Q 2. What would be the advantages of exploiting resources with short-term aims?
Exploitation of resources with short-term aims means consumption of resources for immediate requirement without conservation for the future generations :
1. It makes present life comfortable.
2. It fulfils the requirement of the mass population.
But on the other hand, There should be a judicious use of natural resources as they are limited in nature. We should not exploit resources for our short term gains as this would only lead to depletion of natural resources for the present generation as well as generations to come. Therefore, we can say that there are hardly any advantages of exploiting natural resources for short term gains.
