Open in App
Solution

Two practices for conservation of resources are:

1: Search for alternatives:

1.1. The thought for this practice is to find an alternative for depleting resources or resources that are scarce.

1.2 For example: Using reinforced plastics instead of iron to make vehicle body parts, agricultural waste to be used for sound-proofing and false-roofing board instead of timber (forest trees)

2: Promotion of Renewable resources:

2.1. For the last decade, renewable resources are being promoted to be used as replacements for non-renewable resources, so as to prevent the scarcity of non-renewable resources and to prevent damage to the environment by non-renewable resources.

2.2. For example: Using electric vehicles in place of fossil fuel vehicles, using biogas as fuel instead of wood, charcoal or LPG.
