Why Conservation

How To Conserve

INTRODUTIONConservation is an ethic of resource use, allocation, and protection. Its primary focus is upon maintaining the health of the natural world: its, fisheries, habitats, and biological diversity. Secondary focus is on materials conservation and energy conservation, which are seen as important to protect the natural world. Those who follow the conservation ethic and, especially, those who advocate or work toward conservation goals are termed conservationists.

I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? ~Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985

The 3 R’s

“Find your own ways to make less trash, and help others to learn how to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.”

TYPES OF CONSERVATION

The types of conservation can be many or few, depending on the focus of the individual or program that is aimed at conserving the Earth's resources. The two types that are considered to be of the greatest are water and energy conservation.

Energy conservation

Energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption, and to preserve it for future generations. Energy conservation can be achieved through increased efficient energy use, in conjunction with decreased energy consumption and/or reduced consumption from conventional energy sources.

There are two type of resources:-

Renewable Resources

Non Renewable ResourcesA THING WHICH BURNS NEVER RETURNS.

Solar Energy Conservation- Sun is the main source of the solar energy conservation type and the energy received from the sun in the form of radiation is absorbed and transformed into the heat energy. The heat energy collected by the solar collectors is used to produce steam with runs the turbine.

Wind Energy Conservation: Wind is caused due to absorption of solar energy on the earth surface and the rotation of the earth. Wind mills are used to extract energy from the wind and to produce mechanical work.

Water conservation Water conservation refers to

reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning, manufacturing, and agricultural irrigation.

The goals of water conservation efforts include as follows:

Sustainability. To ensure availability for future generations.

Energy conservation. Water pumping, delivery, and wastewater treatment facilities consume a significant amount of energy.

TODAY’S WASTAGE IS TOMORROW’S SHORTAGE.

Turn off tap while cleaning your teeth, shaving or washing your face. You can waste can up to 9 liters a minute by just letting the water pour down the sink.

Take a short shower rather than a bath could save you up to 400 liters a week. If you do have baths, just half fill them.

Only use the washing machine and the dishwasher when you can put on a full load. It wastes both water and energy to run only a half full machine

Use a broom and bucket of water for washing down the patio rather than a steady flow of water from the hose.

Use a sponge and bucket of water to clean your car or if you use the hose, ensure you use a shut off nozzle so the water is not constantly running.

Fix any dripping tap, you can waste 90 litres a week

Soil conservation Soil conservation is a set of

management strategies for prevention of soil being eroded from the earth’s surface or becoming chemically altered by overuse, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination.

If you see your soil eroding, protect it with grass or plants.

PLANT CONSERVATION The field of plant conservation

includes the study of plant decline and its causes, and techniques to conserve rare and endangered plants. Plant conservation can be considered a part of conservation biology, a relatively young field that emphasizes the conservation of biodiversity and whole ecosystems, as opposed to the conservation of individual species.

LEAKS MAKE YOUR FUTURE BLEAK

Within plant conservation can be found many subfields/emphases. These include:

Forest conservation: Conservation studies and practices involving whole forests, as opposed to specific species

Wild plant conservation: Conservation of plants that are not cultivated by humans for agriculture or other purposes.

Invasive species study and control: The study and control of species that have spread beyond their native area. Such species pose a significant threat for the conservation of native plants.

Medicinal plant conservation: Study and conservation of plants with medicinal properties.

Crop diversity studies: Preservation of crop species, especially those of indigenous cultures Conservation/ methods/ techniques/ management: Study and practice of the techniques involved in plant conservation including:

ex situ conservation, the propagation of endangered species outside of their native habitat, with hope of reintroducing them;

in situ conservation, the conservation of endangered species within their natural habitat as opposed to artificial conditions such as greenhouses or zoos;

reintroductions/habitat restoration, the study and practice of restoring an endangered species to its native lands.

Mineral Resource conservation

The ores extracted from the earth's surface are called minerals. It is a mixture of several dust particles. Purification gives the product fire from particles and the material obtained is called minerals. The science which studies these minerals is called Metallurgy.

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed

The overall objectives in conservation of mineral resources are :-

To encourage and support use of the lower quality minerals, where appropriate, in preference of higher quality primary aggregate.

 To restrict non-mineral development which would hinder in the working of existing mineral commitments or identified in the areas for future mineral extraction.

 To support the prior extraction of minerals which would otherwise to be sterilized by non-mineral development. To support the re-use and recycling of the minerals and their products.

WHY CONSERVATION ? Country facing power shortages

Peak Shortage – 13% Average Shortage – 8%

Additional power required by 2012, 1 lakh MW Approximately 8,00,000 crores investment.

India’s energy Intensive for unit of GDP is higher by 3.7 times of Japan, 1.48 times of Asia & 1.5 times of USA

ENERGY MISUSED CANNOT BE EXCUSED

How To Conserve :You can directly contribute by-

Promote Recycling of papers. It takes 10 times LESS ENERGY to produce paper from used one.

By switching off lights when not required.

By using cloth/jute bags instead of plastic bags.

Using both side of paper.

Using refills instead of buying a new pen.

By growing plants

By being vegetarian also you save energy.

By encouraging foods made of jowar, bajra, instead of rice.

By not wasting food.

You save energy and protect the environment when you use –

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Let’s start Conserving Energy..

instead of only talking about conserving energy.
