| - In the original Age of Empires, it is not entirely possible to have renewable resources, however in theory, food would be infinite (in the long run) but is barred by the finite amount of wood generated or placed by the scenario creator. Gold through trading is also in theory, infinite (in the long run) but is barred by the lack of other resources.
- Renewable resources are resources that can be obtained without ever running out. These are mob drops (not counting the Wither, because it needs Soul Sand, which is not renewable), and the Ender Dragon, because there is only one per world, because an infinite number of mobs can spawn. Ore, for example, is not renewable, because (in theory) it is possible for a player to mine all the ore out of a world, although it is nearly impossible. Resources that are renewable with player interference are semi-renewable resources. Note that all cooked meats are renewable, as Sticks (for fuel) are renewable.
- Renewable resources - Instead of building waste incinerators and enlarging existing landfill sites, a green city should reduce the volume of waste it produces and put in place systems of waste segregation and composting. Introducing a small charge for plastic bags and other disposable items, using reusable packaging such as bottles, composting of organic waste are some examples of greener urban resource management. For example in Ireland a charge for plastic bags was introduced which resulted in demand for plastic bags in shops to fall by 90% in just a few months.
- A natural resource is a renewable resource if it is replaced by natural processes and if replenished with the passage of time. Renewable resources are part of our natural environment and form our eco-system. In 1962, within a report to the committee on natural resources which was forwarded to the President of the United States, Paul Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: "The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibers, drugs, etc...".

| - In the original Age of Empires, it is not entirely possible to have renewable resources, however in theory, food would be infinite (in the long run) but is barred by the finite amount of wood generated or placed by the scenario creator. Gold through trading is also in theory, infinite (in the long run) but is barred by the lack of other resources.
- Renewable resources are resources that can be obtained without ever running out. These are mob drops (not counting the Wither, because it needs Soul Sand, which is not renewable), and the Ender Dragon, because there is only one per world, because an infinite number of mobs can spawn. Ore, for example, is not renewable, because (in theory) it is possible for a player to mine all the ore out of a world, although it is nearly impossible. Resources that are renewable with player interference are semi-renewable resources. Note that all cooked meats are renewable, as Sticks (for fuel) are renewable.
- Renewable resources - Instead of building waste incinerators and enlarging existing landfill sites, a green city should reduce the volume of waste it produces and put in place systems of waste segregation and composting. The average European citizen disposes of a kilogram and a half of rubbish every day, most of which ends up in landfill. In reality, most of the rubbish which goes into our bins could be composted or used as a valuable secondary material: paper, glass, plastics and metals. Green parties are encouraging European cities to reduce the volume of waste produced at source and to introduce waste segregation and composting schemes. These methods are cheaper, greener and are being met with increasing enthusiasm by citizens. Introducing a small charge for plastic bags and other disposable items, using reusable packaging such as bottles, composting of organic waste are some examples of greener urban resource management. For example in Ireland a charge for plastic bags was introduced which resulted in demand for plastic bags in shops to fall by 90% in just a few months. To improve the situation, you can:
* demand your local government to introduce a scheme of waste segregation and composting throughout the city (find out whether the town council also segregates its waste)
* demand your local government to buy products made from recycled materials (e.g. paper and pens)
* cooperate with the Green party and non-governmental organisations who are working towards minimising the volume of waste produced and the introduction of recycling schemes.
- A natural resource is a renewable resource if it is replaced by natural processes and if replenished with the passage of time. Renewable resources are part of our natural environment and form our eco-system. In 1962, within a report to the committee on natural resources which was forwarded to the President of the United States, Paul Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: "The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibers, drugs, etc...". Renewable resources are endangered by industrial developments and growth. They must be carefully managed to avoid exceeding the natural world's capacity to replenish them. A life cycle assessment provides a systematic means of evaluating renewability. This is a matter of sustainability in the natural environment. Solar radiation, tides, winds, geothermal, biomass and other natural elements are renewable resources of energy now called renewable energies. Gasoline, coal, natural gas, diesel and other commodities derived from fossil fuels, as well as minerals like copper and others, are non-renewable resources without a sustainable yield.
