Question

Suggest any 5 ways in which wastage of resources can be reduced

Answer 1

The regular wastage of natural resources should be reduced by taking a few simple steps in daily life.


1. All the electrical appliances, including the lights and fans should be turned off immediately when not in use, as electricity consumes a great deal of resources.

2. The taps should be opened only when the water is needed and should be turned off immediately after use, to save water.

3. The thermostat of the room heaters and the air conditioners should be in perfect condition, to stop the overheating or overcooling of the rooms, thus saving electricity.


4. The rooms should be well ventilated to keep the indoors naturally cooler or warmer, thus reducing the uses of air conditioning or heating systems.


5. Only the electrical appliances with 5- Energy Stars should be bought for reducing the consumption of energy by these machines.
