Answer
Copper is an example of a nonrenewable resource, which means that it can not be replaced once it is used. It is important to use copper wisely and recycle it when possible.
The demand for copper is increasing as our population grows, and we need more copper for wiring in homes and buildings, water pipes, and electronic devices. We are currently finding new ways to mine copper so that we can meet this demand. However, there are only a limited amount of resources available and eventually, we will need to find an alternative to using copper.
