58. Ways to Save Natural Resources Reduce : Always use natural resources as per the requirement and do not waste resources.  Reuse : Reusing is better than recycling as it requires no energy.  Recycle: Recycle those products so that it could get a new lease of life.  58 Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected]

59. Ways to Save Natural Resources Refuse : Say No to the things that are not good for our environment.   Repurpose : Repurpose old things for other purposes when the product can no longer be used for the original purpose. 59 Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected]

61. Sustainable Exploitation of Natural Resources Sustainable resource management can help ensure that the use of resources does not cause an imbalance in the environment.  Stop over tourism Recycling  Waste Management Limiting carbon emissions  Substitute non-renewable resources with renewable resources  Seperate  Courts for Violators 61 Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected]

63. Sustainable Exploitation of Natural Resources Industry and domestic users of energy use it more efficiently  Incentivize / Subsidize renewable energy users Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected] 63

64. What can you do as an individual? Walking, cycling, or using public  Using smaller, more energy-efficient cars.  Minimize single use plastics Reducing the number of aircraft journeys taken   64 Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected]

65. What can you do as an individual? Switching off lights, power sockets, phone chargers and TVs when not in use.  Using energy-efficient light-bulbs and rechargeable batteries.  Recycling and Reusing plastics and oil-based products.  Insulating house roofs, blocking drafts, using double-glazing and more efficient heating systems 65 Prof. Amit Ashok Bansod, [email protected]
