Hello young explorer! 🚀 Dive into the ever-evolving world of natural capital with me! Remember, our planet’s resources aren’t static—they have a knack for changing their value as time progresses!
A flashback in Time 🕰️
- Middle Ages:
- Oil: Not for cars but... to seal wounds! Who would've thought? 🤔
- 19th Century:
- Whale oil: Wasn't for eating! It made textiles easy to handle, making our ancestors the fashion gurus of their time! 🐋👗
- Modern Times:
- Cork & Uranium: Popping out of wine bottles and powering our homes. Such resourceful resources!
The why behind resource value changes 📈📉
- Three big players that like to mix things up:
- Technological values: New gadgets and technologies can suddenly make a resource super popular!
- Economic values: If it makes 💲, its value goes 🆙!
- Cultural values: People's beliefs and lifestyles can boost or decrease a resource's demand.
