There are so many goods out there in the world that will eventually become scarce. Let's take paper as an example. Trees produce paper and millions and millions of trees are cut down every day. We need paper for just about everything. If we run out of trees we run out of paper. This is a very broad idea because there are billions of trees out there but in a long period of time anything can happen. More and more goods are becoming scarce everyday. Scarcity isn't something people should be afraid about, scarcity is something that people get new ideas off of. Running out of a certain resource makes us think of new ones. Many people fear scarcity but as a matter of fact it is a good thing. Millions and millions of new goods are produced each day and we never run out. In the far future we will run out of things like water and paper. Its not something that is made up, it is a fact. At the rate that we are going now I wouldn't doubt if this happens sooner than we think. What other goods will become scarce in a short period of time?
