Conserving Resources : Geography

The concept of conservation of resources is not new to us. We have seen the government putting up subsidy schemes for houses that are energy efficient, encouraging people to use less energy by offering incentives, etc.

There are also corporate houses which encourage their employees to buy hybrid cars, use LED bulbs, etc. Since the world is moving towards eradicating poverty, it becomes essential that we find innovative ways to conserve our natural resources.

Conservation of resources refers to using natural resources carefully so that they could be renewed and continue to be used in future.

Sustainable use of resources refers to carefully utilizing resources and balancing the need to use resources and also conserve them for the future generation.

The primary aim of conservation of resources is to meet the requirements of the present generation without compromising on the needs of the future generations.
