Question

Wat can u do as an indinidual do 2 reduce ur consumption of da various natural resources?

Answer 1

There are lots of things one individual can do to cut down on consumption of natural resources.

I think a big one is just to try to cut down on your car dependency. If something's a walking or biking distance, leave the car at home. The exercise will do you good and the earth will appreciate your saving of oil.

Answer 2

I'll buy recycled stuff !!!

Answer 3

Cut back as much as you can. Inside of using the natural resources for useless things

Answer 4

Really a good question. We will consider the major natural natural resources,   fuel (coal and petroleum). When these combust they produce Carbon dioxide, a green house gas, that causes global warming. So cut off this use we may think of alternate sources (renewable sources) like wind, water, sun light. So we should try to use more and more of renewable sources. We can cook food by solar heater, use solar battery for  lighting a bulb at night. Wind mills should be set up to produce energy there by not using so much of fossil fuels in thermal power plants, where tons of fossil fuels are combusted everyday producing lot of CO2. Alternatively, also some more nuclear power plants should be set up which can produce clean energy, no smoke and fly ash. Also we should use water judiciously, Because the fresh water content is very small as compared to salt water(seas & oceans). We mostly depend on fresh water from wells and tubewells for consumpson. So over exploitation will lead to decrease in under ground water level. thereby causing scarcity of water.

Answer 5

buy less stuff.
