What are some actions that you, as an individual, can take to protect resources? write a paragraph discussing at least five actions.

Natural resources include fossil fuels, metal, minerals,plants, soil, sunshine, water and wildlife. Every day, we depend on and use natural  resources. They contribute to the economy, by creating energy, providing shelter, producing food and medicine and for spiritual well being.  

By protecting and conserving natural resources, we ensure that they used efficiently today and are available in the future as well. Conversing resources also ensures the health and wellness of the entire system.   The 3 principles to protect resources are:

Reduce- By making environmental friendly choices in products and reducing the amount of we consume. For example, by borrowing from friends and sharing with neighbours instead of buying things that we do not use often. By using energy efficient light bulbs and electronics, we reduce the amount of energy consumed. By using public transport and not drive cars, we reduce the carbon emissions on the road and save fuel. By bringing a bag to store groceries at the supermarket, we reduce the use of plastic bags and air pollution.  

Reuse- Items such as plastic bags , other plastic food containers and coffee tins can be repurposed into storage containers for lunch boxe and storage containers for sewing supplies, tools, machine parts and gardening seeds. Torn clothes can also be used as rags or sewed to become blankets.Broken machines parts can be salvage to be used for repairing other items.  

Recycle: Place rubbish in the right recycling bins so that items like paper bags, soda cans and plastic bottles can be recycled in facilities. Opt to purchase toilet paper, tissue paper and writing paper made from recycled papers too.  

Conserving and protecting natural resources is important so that the climate will protected and resources will be available for the future generation.

There are some actions that you take to help protect resources. One method is to recycle, which means converting "waste" into reusable material. An example of this action is by throwing recyclable material into the recycle bin, which then goes to the recycle facility, and they convert waste into another material. Another method is to reuse, which means using an object again or more than once. An example of this action is by reusing a glass container or a plastic bag. The third method is to reduce. That means that you, and even the society, can reduce the production, and disposal of products. An example of reduce is like buying the largest size you can use before spoiling. Buy items in bulk, in concentrate, or in refillable packages. The fourth and fifth method is to recover and residual management.

Hopefully, this helps! :D
