Conservation of natural resources Resources are features of environment that are important and value of to human in one form or the other. However, the advancement of modern civilization has had a great impact on our planet's natural resources. So, conserving natural resources is very essential today. There are many ways that one can conserve natural resources. All you need to do is to look around and see what natural resources you are using and find out ways to limit your usage. Most of the people use natural gas to heat their water and their home. You can monitor how much you are using this resource to minimize its usage.

For conservation of natural resources like natural gas, one can get tank less water heater as it reduces the usage of natural gas. The other way to save natural gas is the use of another energy source for instance hydro, solar or wind power are all healthy and great alternatives to conserving natural resources. In fact these energy sources are clean and healthy for environment. Moreover, these energy sources do not emit or produced harmful gases or toxin into our environment like that of the burning fossil fuels at the same time they are renewable as well as are not easy to deplete.

Today, most of the people are finding many ways for conserving natural resources. One of the great option before is Hydro-power and solar power. Power can be generated from these sources and these are the best ways for natural resources conservation like fossil fuels. There is also way to conserve natural resource like trees. It can be conserve through recycling process. Many products come from the trees like papers, cups, cardboards and envelopes. By recycling these products you can reduce the number of trees cut down a year. One should make the most use of these paper products without being wasteful and then recycle them. This is one great way for conserving natural resources.

Trees clean the air, soil and water, making the earth a livable place. They are so integral to human wellbeing that just living close to trees makes us healthier and happier. If you want to save trees, you can help by protecting those that grow in your own neighborhood, and planting more when you see trees cut down

Strategies to reduce petrol usageReduce your speed. The higher the speed, the higher the fuel consumption. Slow down, relax, and enjoy the ride. Driving at a moderate speed will always help save fuel.Check tyre pressure. Check your tyre pressure regularly. Tyres lose pressure over time (about 1 psi per month) due to temperature and other factors. Tyres with lower pressure will have more rolling resistance resulting in increased fuel consumption.There are several ways to enhance a vehicle's energy efficiency. Using improvedaerodynamicsto minimize drag can increase vehiclefuel efficiency. Reducing vehicle weight can also improve fuel economy, which is whycomposite materialsare widely used in car bodies.

Filling fuel: The more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying capacity it will have in the empty space. Petrol evaporates very fast. While filling up fuel, do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle in a fast mode. If you are pumping on a fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank will become vapor.

Park your vehicles in shade since it will take less time for the car to cool down once you start driving again.

Efficient energy use, sometimes simply calledenergy efficiency, is the goal to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example,insulating a homeallows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature. Installingfluorescent lightsor naturalskylightsreduces the amount of energy required to attain the same level of illumination compared with using traditionalincandescent light bulbs.Compact fluorescent lightsuse one-third the energy of incandescent lights and may last from 6 to 10 times longer.

Reducing the amount of energy that you use up and your carbon footprint is becoming increasingly important. One of the easiest ways to improve energy efficiency in the home is to install low energy light bulbs, rather than traditional onesThe lower power usage of low energy light bulbs means that they do not contribute so much to carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Each low energy light bulb used to replace a traditional bulb saves around 2000 times its own weight in carbon dioxide emissions over the course of its life which is typically around 5-8 years

SAVE COAL*Conserve power in your home by replacing old light bulbs with new forms of energy-efficient bulbs. Traditional incandescent bulbs waste an unnecessary amount of energy when compared to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). Additionally, CFLs last much longer.*Invest in energy-efficient home appliances. Replace old washing machines, refrigerators or laundry machines with newer models displaying the Energy Star logo. The government created this system of designation to help consumers identify products designed to be more energy efficient*Unplug electronic devices when they're not in use. Some electronic devices default to a standby mode that absorbs a modest amount of energy, even when the item isn't in use. To make this process easier, consider turning home electronics off with the use of power strips.

Alternative fuels

Alternative fuels, known as non-conventional or advancedfuels, are any materials orsubstancesthat can be used asfuels, other than conventional fuels. Some well known alternativefuelsincludebiodiesel,bioalcohol(methanol,ethanol,butanol), chemically storedelectricity(batteries andfuel cells),hydrogen, non-fossilmethane, non-fossilnatural gas,vegetable oil, and otherbiomasssources.
