Conserving Resources
• If we over utilize resources then resources will be exhausted
soon.
• So to protect resources we need to utilize resources
carefully.
• Resource Conservation:- using resources carefully and giving
them time to get renewed is called resource conservation.
• Sustainable Development:- balancing of the present
generation and conserving resources for future generation is
called sustainable development.
How can resources be
conserved?
Some examples are:-
• Do not waste water.
• Switch off fan/bulb/other appliances when not
utilized.
• Do not waste paper.
• Do not cut the trees.
• Save petrol/diesel/ LPG etc.
• Do not use plastic bags.
