3.Petroleum:-

→As Petroleum is classified as A fossil fuel, Fossil fuels require alot of time in forming, but now as the World is using such fossil fuels at a high rate, it is a must to find an Alternative source of energy for conserving these fossil fuels in the Future.

[Petroleum is a Non-Renewable Resource]

→We can avoid using too much Transportation facilities and use Bus or Cycle.

4.Soil:-

→We can do Afforestation, as plants strengthen the soil.

→Proper management of Grazing, Animals should be made to graze within a limit.

→Mining should be controlled or done in a Limit.

5.Minerals:-

→Minerals require Millions of years to form and humans are rapidly consuming it.

→We must follow the path of Conserving minerals.

→Minerals are limited and Non-Renewable, so we must Control mining in-order to conserve minerals for Future.
