12. WHY TO CONSERVE FOSSIL FUELS ? Coal , oil and natural gas are fossil fuels. They have been in existence for millions of years. Many people use these fuels as an energy source. However, fossil fuels are non-renewable ; if these resources are depleted , they will never be available again. It is therefore important to conserve fossil fuels, using alternative sources of energy when possible .
