- 2. NATURAL RESOURCE -Materials or substances such as minerals, forests, water, and fertile land that occur in nature and can be used for economic gain.
- 3. NATURAL RESOURCES RENEWABLE NON- RENEWABLE
- 4. 1. Preservation of forests We need to stop destroying forests and cutting trees. Forests are the home to many different animals, birds and insects. Many animals like the leopard, the Indian Wild Ass, the great Indian one-horned Rhinocerous, etc. have become endangered and are close to extinction because of the destruction of their natural habitat. Trees give us wood that helps in making so many things like furniture, paper, etc. Trees help in purifying the air and also hold the soil with their roots and stop soil erosion. We must protect our forests. This can be done in the following ways : We must control the cutting of trees and plant more trees. We must prevent forest fires.
- 5. 2.Methods to preserve water For conservation of water. Keeping the water taps closed, when not in use. Using less water-consuming toilets. Watering the plants to be done in the evening hours. Using drip irrigation and sprinkling irrigation systems water lawns etc. Treating water to be provided for irrigation Water to be used carefully and economically for domestically for domestic and industrial.
- 6. 3.Method’s to preserve minerals 1. New researches should be undertaken it find out and develop 'replacement minerals' for us in place of scarce minerals which are in short supp|y and are going to be depleted soon. 2. Researches should also be carried on to develop new technology which should avoid west age and promote maximum utilisation of by-products. 3. There should be curbing on wasteful minimum methods. Miners should be imparted training to adopt new techniques of mining, use latest technology and machines and take maximum precaution' cause little damage to the environment.
- 7. 4. Processing plants should invariably be coated in mining areas to reduce transport cost. In case of weighty materials like coal it is better to convert it into coking coal or in electricity near the pit heads. 5. There is a great scope for the expansion of several mineral-based industries which open new vista for economic development. 6. In conservation policy emphasis should be placed on sustainable mining. Similarly more reli-ance should be placed on the exploitation and utili-sation of such mineral resources which are renew-able and are in plenty.
- 8. Fossil Fuels Fossil fuels are materials that are non-renewable such as oil and coal. These have a big effect on the earth's ozone layer which keeps ultra-violet rays out. This will show you how to do your part in conserving fossil fuels.
- 9. METHODS TO CONSERVE FOSSIL FUELS 1.Ride a bike. Instead of driving a car or taking a bus, try cycling or walking to your destination. This is better for the environment and better for you. 2.Buy solar panels. These are expensive but use solar power to heat your home, unlike heaters they don't use fossil fuels for heat. 3.Try not to use too much plastic. Fact: most of the plastic bags used today are made of oil. If there is no other alternative then just recycle them when done. Plastic bags can be reused at a grocery store if you ask to use the same bags. Some stores offer reusable bags too.
- 10. 4.Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Making new cans and bottles take a whole lot more fossil fuels then recycling an old one. In most cities, recycling plants will pay money for cans. Be sure to meet that recycling centers requirements. For example, most recycling plants want the lids taken off of bottles. Also know what you can, and cannot recycle 5.Turn off lights. Several million people leave there lights on when going on vacation,business trips, etc, without even knowing it. This harms the environment and costs them a lot of money. 6.Influence others. Start a campaign that helps the environment such as litter clean up or picking up cans. Ask local leaders if you can put signs on posts where heavy traffic is.
- 11. 7 Easy Ways to Reduce Food Waste 1. Write a list! Menu plan your meals for a week. Check the ingredients in your fridge and cupboards, then write a shopping list for just the extras you need. 2. Keep a healthy fridge. Check that the seals on your fridge are good and check the fridge temperature too. Food needs to be stored between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius for maximum freshness and longevity. 3. Use up your leftovers. Instead of scraping leftovers into the bin, why not use them for tomorrow's ingredients? A bit of tuna could be added to pasta and made into a pasta bake. A tablespoon of cooked vegetables can be the base for a crock pot meal.
- 12. 4. Serve small amounts. Serve small amounts of food with the understanding that everybody can come back for more once they've cleared their plate. This is especially helpful for children, who rarely estimate how much they can eat at once. Any leftovers can be cooled, stored in the fridge and used another day. 5. Buy what you need. Buy loose fruits and vegetables instead of prepacked, then you can buy exactly the amount you need. Choose meats and cheese from a deli so that you can buy what you want. 6. Freeze! If you only eat a small amount of bread, then freeze it when you get home and take out a few slices a couple of hours before you need them. Likewise, batch cook foods so that you have meals ready for those evenings when you are too tired to cook.
- 13. 7. Turn it into garden food. Some food waste is unavoidable, so why not set up a compost bin for fruit and vegetable peelings? In a few months you will end up with rich, valuable compost for your plants. If you have cooked food waste, then a kitchen composter (bokashi bin) will do the trick. Just feed it with your scraps (you can even put fish and meat in it), sprinkle over a layer of special microbes and leave to ferment. The resulting product can be used on houseplants and in the garden.
