The soil covering the surface of the earth has taken millions of years to form,
and we must learn to respect it. Soil is formed at a rate of only 1 cm every 100
to 400 years, and it takes 3,000 to 12,000 years to build enough soil to form
productive land. This means that soil is a nonrenewable resource and once
destroyed, it is gone forever.

Soil is non renewable because it takes thousands of years for stone and decaying materials to intertwine to create the ground we walk on.
