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.
Sustainable development can be defined as the careful utilisation of resources to not only meet the requirements of the present generation but also of the future generation. Some common ways in which we can conserve resources are:
- Not to waste paper
- to switch off fans and light when not in use
- to not waste paper
- to use water carefully
