Will the world run out of wood and metal?

Question

Will the world run out of wood and metal?

Answer 1

Wood maybe yes. But metal we have no worries if the Earth Runs out I say we Should Give Prsioners the oppurtunity to mine the asteroid belt or our own moon. Besides what harm could they do stuck in space with pickaxes and Drilling equipment?

Answer 2

Yes, the Easter bunny will gnaw up the last tree and make a helmet out of the last bit of ore by Tuesday, November 15, 2021 if we don't stop emitting H2O into the atmosphere.

Answer 3

No.  We'll run out of petroleum and coal first.

Answer 4

yes we will run out of wood especially the way we are cutting them down without replenishing them.

one way we can save ourselves from running out of wood is, if we cut down one tree we grow two trees to replace that one which was cut . (i think they are doing this in the far east)

as for metal we can run out of it but we can recycle it as mention before me.

Answer 5

I highly doubt it.  Trees will grow again.  Metal...well the using of metal may become difficult if we don't recycle it.  The world won't run out though there is a ridiculous amount of metal still in the ground that, at least in the United States, we are not allowed to mine.

Answer 6

You can grow more trees, and metal can be recycled.
