How does practicing the art of conservation actually help the?

Question

planet ?

Answer 1

Conservation helps maintain our planet productive. The constant consumption of our planet's natural resources will eventually lead to reducing it actual production capacity, by conserving it we consume it but we do it in a way that will preserve its natural potential for a longer time.

Answer 2

It's not the planet that needs help, it's the people on it. Conservation is just to make your own environment more livable, and even save some energy or money in the process. The problem is that conserving a gnat in Australia when you live in the US is just something to make you feel good about yourself while you are doing other kinds of pollution.
