NATURAL RESOURCES
Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce the use of
Earth's natural resources by an individual or society. It is referred to as "zero
wastage living" or "net zero living". Its proponents aim to conduct their lives in
ways that are consistent with sustainability, naturally balanced, and respectful of
humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology.
Natural resources are the resources that occur naturally on Earth. It is an

indispensable part of our lives. Natural resources consist of air, water, sunlight,
coal, petroleum, natural gas, fossil fuels, oil, etc. However, humans have
exploited these resources for their economic gains. Over usage of natural
resources has caused depletion resulting in a huge impending threat to the
existence of the human race.
Conservation of nature means taking care and protecting these resources

like forests, water bodies, natural gases, minerals, and fuels so that they continue
to be available in abundance. Conservation refers to saving the resources for the
use of the upcoming generation. There are enough natural resources which nature
has provided to us. It is our duty to save them for our successors. For saving these
natural resources we have to gain enough knowledge about that and should work
in that direction.
Natural resources are categorized into renewable and non-renewable.

Renewable resources can be replenished naturally. These include air, water, and
sunlight. Non-renewable resources consist of coal, natural gas, and oil. These
resources cannot be replenished by natural resources easily to keep up with
consumption. It takes hundreds of years to recycle these resources. The usage of
natural resources has been pivotal for the evolution of mankind. But his progress
and development have led to the exploitation of these natural resources. This
demands a responsible behaviour of conserving the resources to ensure
sustainability .If we do not use these resources judiciously then it can create an
imbalance in the environment. Global warming, floods, climate change, famine,
and drought are some of the consequences we will have to face in the future. So,
conservation of natural resources has become the need of the hour.
Water is the most important and valuable natural resource on Earth. It

sustains all life. We use water for drinking, generating electricity, in agriculture
for irrigation of crops, in many industries for manufacturing processes. Scarcity
of water would cause loss of vegetation and to all plant life, erosion of soil.
Forests determine natural vegetation for mankind. It is the major natural resource
that helps in economic development. Their use in fuel, timber, and industrial raw
material cannot be undermined. Moreover, forests help in the control of soil
erosion and control floods.
Fossil fuel is the most important natural commodity for everyday activities.
Coal, oil, and natural gas produce a lot of energy. Governments and agencies of
various countries are employing different measures to conserve nature. Children
should be educated about the implications of the exploitation of the environment.
Recycling and reusing of water will help reduce the rate of depletion of freshwater
from the planet. Farmers must use modern techniques in agriculture like sprinkler
irrigation, drip irrigation, dry farming, and rotational grazing, to save water. They
should start the practice of rainwater harvesting. Conservation of natural
resources is the need of the present and it is our duty to conserve them.
Alternative resources or renewable resources like solar energy or water

energy should be used. Saving electricity can be a step to conserve natural
resources such as water, coal, natural gases, and biomass. Basic practices like
switching off fans, lights, geysers, and air conditioners must become a habit. The
use of solar-powered lights and cars, using public transport, and regular car-
pooling will reduce the depletion of coal, oil, and gas. Increase the use of biogas
and biofuels. Paper is made from wood, which is a renewable natural source.
Trees are being cut at a very high speed but take time to grow. To reduce the
usage of paper, modern technology must be used. This will help in reducing the
carbon footprint in the atmosphere. We must plant more and more trees to prevent
deforestation.
Dumping of industrial wastes into water bodies must be prevented to

protect marine life. The practice of crop rotation techniques can be implemented
to increase soil fertility. Burning fossil fuel emits a large amount of carbon
dioxide that is responsible for the greenhouse effect. This must be controlled. It
is important to realize that natural resources are limited and it is our social
responsibility to protect and take care of nature. We need to rationally use these
natural resources to maintain the environment and secure our future.
