The earth’s non-renewable resources are not going to last forever (hence, the reason for calling them “non-renewable”). Here are some interactives that show long each one has left:
Global resources stock check is from The BBC.
What Lies Beneath is from The Wall Street Journal.
What Will Be Left Of The Earth’s Non-Renewable Resources? is from Information Is Beautiful.
All feedback is welcome.

Sorry, I don’t. But they do their infographics for The Guardian and are very reliable.
