Brainstroming for Paper 3

I think I'm going to focus this paper on what resources are renewable/nonrenewable and/or how we treat our land by growing certain products. So many different things are wasted when it comes to farming, especially water and energy. What really comes to mind is something Wendell Berry says, "The way Americans proclaim and pride ourselves on about how much we love our land does not match with the way we actually use our land and our farming resources". This quote is so unbelievably true. Americans as a whole pride ourselves on our love for our land yet we treat it like it means nothing. We throw away resources like there's no tomorrow when in reality there could someday be a "no tomorrow" with the way we're going about farming now. Another thing that is ruining our land from farming is the run-off of fertilizers and is destroying water and creating "dead-zones". In general, the way we are farming is not very sustainable and is destroying the world faster and faster each day. But is there really any way we can go back to the source and start all over? How would we be able to provide for everyone if we tried to do this? How can we get our land to actually be something we are proud of?
