Using up Natural Resources

• When we make devices we use up natural resources

  • Electronic devices contain lots of raw materials 
  • Plastics , which are used for casing and other parts come from crude oil 
  • Devices contain many precious metals like gold, silver, copper, mercury, platinum and, indium, but many of these metals only occur in tiny quantities

  
• Dangers of extracting raw materials

  • Extracting raw materials and uses lots of energy 
  • It also creates pollution and depletes scarce natural resources
