This is based on environmental and role of individuals in conservation of natural resources

1. ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL IN CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

2. Role of an individual: 1. Natural resources like forest, water, soil, food, minerals and energy resources play an important role in the economy and development of a nation. 2.Humans can play important role in conservation of natural resources. 3.A little effort by individual can help to conserve these resources.

3. Recycling is a great starting point if you want to reduce your carbon footprint. You can recycle tons of items, from cans to paper products, cartons, and glass. Start by placing recycling bins beside trash cans at home to segregate trash between recyclable and non-recyclable items.

4. Switch your light bulbs to energy-saving ones to reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint. According to Meralco, replacing all the lights in your home with LED bulbs can translate to a monthly saving of PHP 13 per bulb. So aside from conserving energy, you’re also saving your wallet.

5. Make sure to turn off your faucet or tap when you aren’t using water. As simple as it sounds, many still forget to do so when washing the dishes, brushing teeth, or bathing.

6. Even the smallest actions can translate to energy savings at home. These include turning off the lights, unplugging appliances not in use, and not charging your phone overnight. Apart from helping your electric bill, they’re also reducing your carbon footprint little by little.

7. Cars are one of the biggest contributors to depleting fossil fuels, so try to find alternative modes of transportation whenever possible. For example, if you’re only going a short distance, you can walk or bike instead of driving. Cars can be convenient when the weather is horrendous—in that case, consider carpooling to save fuel and reduce traffic and greenhouse gas emissions.

8. Many people have been transitioning to plant-based or flexitarian diets due to the health benefits that come with reduced meat consumption. However, more than this, eating less meat allows you to preserve the planet’s health. The livestock industry is notorious for generating tons of greenhouse gas emissions, so by reducing your meat consumption, you can lower your carbon footprint. More importantly, you’re also protecting the lives of millions of animals.

9. Minimise the use of paper and fuel.

10. Planting different varieties of plants

11. The burning of plastic results in the production of harmful toxic gases that result in environmental pollution. These gases, when inhaled by the living species, will result in various life-threatening diseases.

12. Plastic is not biodegradable, so the vast quality of plastic bottles discarded daily has become a menace by negatively impacting the environment around us. Health risks are also involved in storing and drinking water in plastic bottles due to toxic effects and chemical contamination from plastics.

13. Educate others and creating awareness to conserve the environment.
