Ways of Conserving Resources: 

1. Use of Renewable Resources: Replace coal and petroleum with solar, wind, hydro, and biogas energy.
2. Energy Conservation: Switch off electrical appliances when not in use and utilise energy-saving devices such as LED lamps.
3. Water Conservation: Adopt rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation to reduce water waste.
4. Soil Conservation: Instead of using too many chemical fertilisers, practise crop rotation, terrace farming, and organic manure.
5. Forest Conservation: Prevent deforestation, support afforestation, and take part in social forestry programmes.
6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Reduce waste by recycling and using less plastic.
7. Sustainable Transport: To save fuel, take public transportation, carpools, or bicycles instead of driving your own vehicle.
