Role of an Individual in the conservation of Natural Resources
The conservation of natural resources is every individual’s responsibility. The environment belongs to every one of us and so all of us have the responsibility to conserve it. Each individual’s efforts for conservation go a long way in conservation measures, though there are efforts at national and international levels too. Light, fans and water heaters must be switched off when not needed. We must obtain heat form natural resources as far as possible. The wet clothes must be dried in the sun light. Use solar cooker on sunny days to avoid over LPG.
Conservation
A careful preservation and protection of something especially planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction or neglect.
Conservation means using the resources in a wise manner so that besides meeting the present requirement it also takes care of the future generations.
If each individual starts conserving natural resources in the best way possible we can soon build a beautiful world.
