--Poor Richard (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2014 (ECT) Resources, depletable and non-depletable. Non-depletable resources are things such as science, knowledge, information, etc. which can be used to minimize or replace the use of finite, depletable resources. Conservation and design for sustainability are examples of using knowledge to conserve finite resources. Non-depletable knowledge is often still a rivalrous resource, however. The potential application of knowledge for conserving resources is severely constrained if it is "enclosed" in legal lock boxes and walled gardens which create artificial scarcity. --Poor Richard (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2014 (ECT)
