Sustainable forest management practices can help prevent this. These practices mimic the natural destruction and regeneration patterns of nature and involve aspects such as establishing protected areas, create a harvesting plan and using logging techniques that are easier on the natural environment.

Answer:

As the human population increases and economies develop, we’re using more natural resources, materials the earth provides that enable economic gain. These substances include minerals, forests, water, fertile soil and more. In many cases, we’re using these resources faster than nature can replenish them. According to Global Footprint Network, we used a year’s worth of resources in seven months in 2018.

 

Conserving natural resources is a broad topic, but here are 10 things we can do to start protecting the earth’s resources.

1. MAKE ELECTRICITY USE MORE EFFICIENT

We use natural resources, such as coal and natural gas, to produce the electricity we use in homes, offices, stores and elsewhere. We can conserve some of that electricity simply by turning things off and unplugging them when we’re not using them and by using more energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

Advanced technologies, such as smart thermostats, also help conserve energy by automatically turning appliances on and off as needed.

2. USE MORE RENEWABLE ENERGY

About 63 percent of our electricity comes from fossil fuels, which are natural resources that only replenish over an extremely long time.

Resources like wind and sunlight, however, can also be used to generate electricity, but these resources are renewable. That means once they are used, they become available again quickly. While using fossil fuels to generate electricity burns up finite resources, using renewables does not.

Renewable energy also doesn’t release greenhouse gases, which are causing climate change.

3. PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE FISHING RULES

One-third of the world’s fish populations are overexploited or severely depleted.

Reduced fish populations can alter entire ecosystems and hurt coastal economies that depend on fishing. Introducing new laws — and ensuring existing ones stay in place — that protect at-risk fish populations and ecosystems is crucial to preventing these problems.

At the consumer level, buying only sustainably sourced fish can help.

4. AVOID SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

In 2016, global plastics production was approximately 335 million metric tons, and about half of that was used to make single-use products, according to the Earth Day Network.

Reducing our plastic use helps us avoid the use of the resources needed to make plastic and prevents plastic waste from harming the natural environment. Substituting single-use plastics like plastic grocery bags, utensils and straws with durable items can help.

5. DRIVE LESS

Gasoline is a product made from crude oil, a finite natural resource and fossil fuel. Car manufacturing also requires many different kinds of natural resources, includes rubber and various metals.

You can conserve natural resources by not owning a car, owning a more fuel-efficient car or driving less. Walking, bicycling taking public transportation and carpooling are all excellent alternatives to driving.
