Paper 2 · International Trade
Which practice is an example of the sustainable use of a country's natural resources?
Aburning coal and firewood in place of using solar energy
Bclearing woodland to open new tobacco fields every season
Creplanting trees to replace those that have been cut down
Dexporting minerals as raw ore as fast as they can be mined
Explanation: Sustainable use means taking no more than the stock can replace, so that the resource is still there for future generations. Replanting keeps the forest stock intact; quotas, closed seasons, recycling and renewable energy do the same for other resources.
