NATURAL RESOURCES, ITS RATIONAL USE AND PROTECTION

Abstract

Natural resources, as well as products of their processing is a material basis for productive forces. Cooperating with the main productive force of a society - a labour force, natural resources constantly and continuously update complex structure of productive forces quantitatively and qualitatively. From the point of view of the economic theory, the problem of reproducing natural resources is actual. The main idea of estimating natural resources is examining the ways of its rational use.
