There are certainly issues of overfishing and pollution, many of which are fixable. The Chesapeake Bay's crab and striped bass fisheries are both great examples of what good management can do (while the Chesapeake also remains an example of what pollution can do).

As for natural resources, I think we're nowhere near running out of critical resources. A few years back we thought we were running low on natural gas. Now, not so much. Same goes for oil, and we're nowhere close to running out of coal.
