Answers
Explanation:
Resources are vital for any developmental activity. But irrational consumption and over-utilisation of resources may lead to socio-economic and environmental problems. To overcome these problems, resource conservation at various levels is important. This had been the main concern of the leaders and thinkers in the past. For example, Gandhiji was very apt in voicing his concern about resource conservation in these words: “There is enough for everybody’s need and not for any body’s greed.” He placed the greedy and selfish individuals and exploitative nature of modern technology as the root cause for resource depletion at the global level. He was against mass production and wanted to replace it with the production by the masses.
Resource Conservation is the usage of resources very cautiously and giving them time to get renewed. Resource conservation is mainly concerned with resources which are non-renewal, for instance, fossil fuels, metals etc.
Importance of resource conservation:
- It benefits the future generations without neglecting the present generation
- Reduces the wastage of sources
- Promotes sustainable development.
- Preserves species range and cultural heritage
- Prevents soil erosion
- Improves food production and the nation's economy
