The preservation movement was started by John Muir. The “preservation movement” involves the protection of nature and historic values such as buildings, objects, and landscapes from humans. Preservationist like Muir believes that the value of the land is not what you can use from it, but the land itself as it exists. The authors of the sources sought to eliminate humans impact altogether by presenting to everyone that it is irrational and unthoughtful to cut down trees and prevent natural resources from accomplishing specific purposes in certain environments. In my opinion, the authors were also trying to express the lack of care and appreciation for the nation’s natural resources that humans provide by using…
“Environmental stewardship is the responsibility to take care of our natural resources to ensure that they are sustainably managed for current and future generations” (Responsible Stewardship and Sustainable Resource Management, 2013). Sustainable resources are those resources that are replenished at a rate equal to, or greater than, the rate of consumption (What are Sustainable resources, 2013). Stewardship of natural resources is important for both individuals and organizations. By managing resource usage ethically and responsibly, good stewards of natural resources ensure healthy and beauty of the environment for the future. Stewardship begins at home. If everyone were to manage, care and steward the natural resources with which they have been entrusted or have access, large scale problems such as pollution and animal extinction that occur from mismanagement and poor stewardship of resources can be prevented.…
The environment offers essential resources, like nutrients that are recycled to keep soil fertile, biological services, such as providing the global pollination of crops that we depend on for food, and natural improvements for our quality of life, such as controlling the chemistry of the atmosphere. These resources are vital to the survival of the human race, and are often taken for granted. Humans are constantly using these products and amenities to assist in their lives and consequently creating wastes that are put back into their surroundings. All people have the potential to impact the environment, both positively and negatively, directly affecting their resources available to them and the quality of life for themselves and all people on…
3. When a volcano erupts, spewing forth a column of hot volcanic ash, the ash particles are tiny fragments of solidified magma that slowly fall to Earth’s surface, forming a layer of sediment. Would a rock formed from cemented particles of volcanic ash be igneous or sedimentary? Can you think of other circumstances that might form rocks that are intermediate between two of the major rock families?…

Conservation is the sustainable use of natural resources including wildlife, water, air, and earth deposits. Some of these natural resources may be renewable or non-renewable. The conservation of renewable resources like trees involves making sure that we are not using more than what we are able to replace. The conservation of non-renewable resources like fossil fuels involves ensuring that we are only using them when we need to.…
With today’s rising population around the world, we have been exhausting our limited natural resources, if we do not learn to conserve all the limited natural resources, we will have nothing left for our future generations.…
In our notes, conservationism is defined as an economic philosophy in which nature is used for the benefit of humans, nature is used in a responsible way so only part of the resource is used. This allows the resource to be available for future generations. Environmentalism is defined in our notes as an ethical philosophy in which nature should be left alone and not touched for natures' own sake and for the benefit of humans.…
Commodification led to people exploiting nature for centuries to come, which inspired people to make an attempt to conserve Earth’s resources so that they don't continue to be exploited. Gifford Pinchot, one of America’s foremost conservationists who coined the term ‘conservation,’ stated that “conservation means the greatest good to the greatest number for the longest time” (201). In his view, conservation revolved around the ideas of management, restoration, protection, and preservation of natural resources to find a balance between human activity and the workings of nature. He felt that unless we conserve the resources we have now, the future is not going to have room for progress or prosperity because it will lack resources (Pinchot 202). The main impact of conservationists was the shift in mindset, away from abusing nature, and towards realizing nature's importance.…

The main distinction among the two points is conservation is utilizing an area's supplies drawn upon at a sustainable proportion in array to gain from its resources and to additionally decrease environmental harms or changes. Preservation maintains natural uninhabited or inhabited only by wild animals, and relations and interactions between organisms and their environment without embarrassing it with anything unnatural. They are nature friendly all the same one allows us to work with natural resources by keeping up sustainability for coming generations although the other retains nature and its resources in their current condition.…
