Question

What steps are taken for protection and conservation of natural resources

Answer 1

Use less, recycle more, produce yourself if possible. Not rocket science, gang.
Using less new resources require less production, less transportation, and less wastage. Recycling resources also limits new production, and reduces waste. Producing yourself eliminates transportation, and helps ensure efficient use of product without waste. Growing your own tomatoes for example, means no trucks brought tomatoes into your town, no grocery store had to store them until they were sold, and any tomatoes that spoil or are damaged can be composted and put back into the soil for more tomato production.
