The mineral resources on the earth are limited. Minerals fuels such as Petroleum, Natural gas, Coal take millions of years to form. We are using these resources too fast. If we continue to do so, the Petroleum deposits in the world will finish in less than 100 years. Coal deposits will probably last us for about 250 years. Resources that are gone forever once used, are known as exhaustible resources. Our mineral resources are exhaustible. Therefore, there is need today to conserve them.

It is important to conserve resources as many resources are scarce and take millions of years to develop. Over exploitation of resources may exhaust them. Thus, we need to conserve resources. To use the resources carefully and to give time to renew them is known as conservation of resources.

The principle of sustainable development should be followed while utilizing resources. Sustainable development can be defined as the careful utilisation of resources to not only meet the requirements of the present generation but also of the future generation. Some common ways in which we can conserve resources are:

  • Not to waste paper
  • to switch off fans and light when not in use
  • to not waste paper
  • to use water carefully
  • to harvest water
  • to reduce consumption, recycle and reuse waste materials
