Professor Richard Arculus from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) looks at what affects the sustainability of metal resources. This is part of a series of videos on how human activities affect sustainability.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 3 Living on Earth - extracting, using and managing Earth resources'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
The abundance of a renewable resource and how readily it can be replenished influence the rate at which it can be sustainably used at local, regional and global scales (ACSES078)
