A renewable resource can be used again and again, so is more sustainable, eg water, wind, wood, sun and wave energy. A non-renewable resource will eventually run out, so it is not sustainable in the long run, eg fossil fuels such as gas, oil and coal. However, the two terms have very different meanings.
