Obtaining nonrenewable resources, like coal and oil, affects our planet in two big ways. First, when we take out these resources from the ground, it can harm the environment and make it dirty. This can lead to pollution in the air, water, and soil, which is not good for plants, animals, or us humans. Second, as the population keeps growing, we need more and more of these resources to fulfill everyone's needs. But since these resources are limited and take millions of years to form, if we use them too quickly, there won't be enough left for future generations. So, it's important for us to find alternative sources of energy and use them wisely, so we can protect our Earth and have enough resources for everyone.
