Long run aspects of environmental protection and of the use
of resources areanalyzed within a planning model. To this
end fundamental concepts of thermodynamics are explained in
a simple manner. The relationships between entropy, energy
necessary for the extraction of a resource and the
concentration of the resource is employed to establish a
connection between the economic systems and the environment.
