Consequences of not conserving
environment . Tonnes of soil are lost from the fields
Loss of productive farmland
Rivers and dams are filled with silt
sediment
Destruction of roads and brigdes causing
difficulties in accessibility
Disruptions of power supply

Conservation measures
Have a compost pit in your compound
and compost bin for waste disposal.
Practice the 3Rs – reduce reuse recycle.-
reduce wastage.
Proper handling of chemicals such as
pesticides from manufacture to disposal is
critical. Avoid river pollution.
Plant more trees.
