Hello Steemians,

How to conserve Natural Resources

Nature has given us many precious gifts and resources. These resources or materials like rock, soil, mineral, coal, petroleum, air, water, plants and animals are called natural resources. we must conserve these resources at any cost and use them very wisely. Natural resources like coal and petroleum are limited to some extent. we must shift to green energy programs so that the next generation can also hold coal in their hands and not just get knowledge of coal from books.

These natural resources are getting degraded day by day. The main reason for this is the increase in population at an alarming rate. The more the population increase's, consumption of natural resources also increase and vice- versa. These resources should be conserved to maintain ecological balance. The conservation of these resources should be our first and foremost task as a human being because it is more of conservation of human beings than the conservation of nature. we are nothing without our surroundings and the essentials that the nature provide. Human life is totally dependent on natural elements and resources because we(human beings) are also a part of the nature. As they say ,"Man is not the owner of nature but nature is the guardian of man."

The formula of conservation

We can conserve our natural resources by this simple formula below:-

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

REDUCE the usage of the natural resources by using alternatives or by optimum usage of them. by reducing the amount of waste we produce, we can save our environment.
example:- by reducing the usage of plastic products we can save our resources.
REUSE the things which are derived from natural resources, this will ultimately helps in saving the resources. Instead of throwing things away, we can find ways to use them again.
example:- Any plastic bottle can be reused.
RECYCLEis very important. The simple meaning of recycling is creating something new out of already used things. it needs some creative ideas to imply this technique.
example:- Old waste Tyres can be refurbished as furniture or plant pots.
