Explain the supply-demand reversal of environmental resources.

Solution

In earlier days when civilization just began or before the increase in population and before countries took to industrialisation, the demand for environment resources was much less than their supply. But with population explosion and with the advent of industrial revolution, the demand for resources for both production and consumption became more than the supply. It is known as supply-demand reversal of environment. This is one of the reasons of the degradation of the environment.
