A resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability that needs to be consumed to obtain a benefit from it. Anything that can be used to satisfy a human need is a resource. Utility or usability is what makes a object a resource. In most cases, commercial or even non-commerial factors require resource allocation through resource management.

Value of a resource

The purely economic value of a resource is controlled by supply and demand. This is, however, a narrow perspective on resources as there are many things that cannot be measured in money.

Natural resources like forests, mountains etc. are considered beautiful so they have aesthetic value. Resources also have an ethical value as well, because it is our moral duty to protect and conserve them for the future generations.

Characteristics of resources

This section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. If an appropriate WikiProject or portal exists, please adjust this template accordingly. (July 2010)

Resources have three main characteristics: utility, quantity (often in terms of availability), and consumption. However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.

A. Once you have a name and possible age, I like "US SEARCH" for identifying a possible state. I don't pay and I take the information that comes up in my search and use it on "intellius" or "black book online" ( )and run a free name and address finder. Blackbook also has cool state links that are free for every US state, I dig that site! Also check here, here are some other resources I use often:
