Question

under what circumstances can a renewable resource be in danger if not being renewed?

Answer 1

This sounds more philosophical than environmental but here goes.  A renewable resource can decay or like methane it can expand until it threatens civilization.

The methane gas is being released from the glaciers both north and south pole and the gas is bubbling up in the worlds oceans.  It has never been utilized, therefore is not in danger.

Answer 2

Take the Rain forest for an example.

If you cut off the trees and don't plant new ones, the rain will wash away the mold and no tree will grow there for another million years.

Just heard 2 days ago that they are destroying the forests in Rusia now. The trees there took 250 years to grow and now the are cut off leaving nothing behind but a new desert.

In Southamerica they are uprooting the rain forest and planting oil plants for making eco-diesel.

Thats absurd, but money rules untill money can't buy a single glass of drinkable water or one eatable fruit.

Answer 3

WHO CARES??????????????? RECYCLING IS LAME

Answer 4

Renewable Energy is energy derived from resources that are regenerative or for all practical purposes cannot be depleted.

if a renewable became non-renewable i.e. the solar, wind wave, tidal, you can say good-bye; because the sun, moon and the havens above just ended.

Hope this helps
