How do we value resources?

I was looking at my notes and I saw this title. I thought it was a good idea to post it because previously, I was talking about resources, but just in the ecological way. However, there are other ways and perspectives in which resources are valued. I think it's good to be aware of them.

• Economic: this involves money. This may include the exchange of resources viewed as just "simple items" that can be exchanged without any repercussion in other areas of study.

• Ecological: this inolves the support of the systems. This may include teh awareness that there is a whole process behind a resource and also the implications it may bring to the environment.

• Scientific: this may look really related with the one above, but this is more of the research in them.

• Intrinsic: this includes the culture we have of taking care of resources, and also, trying to belong to them, not only considering them other "item" on Earth.
