Oil is a viscous liquid derived from petroleum. Oil is used for transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and the feedstock used to make chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials.
"BP raised its reserve estimate by 1.1% to 1,687.9 billion barrels, which is enough oil to last the world 53.3 years at the current production rates. However, there's likely a lot more oil left in the tank beyond what BP sees today."
Phosphorus is the chemical element of atomic number 15, a poisonous, combustible nonmetal that exists in two common allotropic forms. Phosphorus is used in soft drinks and to create many phosphate compounds, such as triple superphosphate fertilizer. Trisodium phosphate is used as a cleaning agent and as a water softener. Phosphorus is essential to all living things; like the creation of DNA, cell membranes, and for bone and teeth formation in humans. Without Phosphorus there would be no more humans.
Coal is a sedimentary rock composed of altered plant debris. Its principal uses are for fueling steam power plants, as a source of coke for smelting metals, for space heating ,and industrial process heating. Synthetic gas and oil are manufactured from coal on a large scale
There is a large amount of coal left enough for maybe 200 years but it is buried too deep below the ground. Trying to get it would be dangerous and cost more than what you would make. Sources say we may have 50 to 100 years of coal left.
If we do not start conserving soon the Earth will have to colonize a new planet.
An infinite amount of resources is ideal, but not realistic. The earth only has a limited amount of resources and one day they will be depleted.
The resources that are going to be discussed about are: Coal, Oil, Phosphorus, and water.

To conserve resources we can reduce our intake of things, for example by reducing our use of non-renewable oil and coal to give us energy and electricity, society can make less air pollution. By doing that society will also be saving our oil and coal which means society would still have more to use. You could keep on one section of lights at a time to not use so much energy, or close the door when the air conditioner is on . Society could also recycle more
The world does not have enough resources which will result in the human race having to make a critical decision. We as the human race need to start thinking about this and start conserving our resources.
