Energy Conservation SCI/275 Energy conservation is so important. Why you ask? Because of the limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on Earth‚ it is important to conserve our current supply or to use renewable sources so that our natural resources will be available for future generations. Energy conservation is also important because consumption of nonrenewable sources impacts the environment. Specifically‚ our use of fossil fuels contributes to

Water Conservation Will there be enough water for a more crowded world? The adult human uses on average about 100 gallons of water a day. Only about 2.5% of earth’s water is fresh and only 1% is actually attainable for usage. The available water on earth has not changed. The same water we have today has been recycled for millions of years‚ we are not gaining any more. The time to do something is now. In this essay I would like to remark on the past‚ present‚ and future of water conservation.

is often less heeded. The importance of soil conservation is relatively less talked about as compared to the conservation of water and other natural resources. The almost-omnipresent soil is mostly taken for granted. Its omnipresence is ironically the reason behind us‚ human beings‚ taking it for a ride. We rarely even think of it as a natural resource that needs to be conserved‚ a part of the natural wealth that needs to be preserved. The concept of the conservation of soil takes into account

In the 1920’s Aldo Leopold began pushing for wilderness conservation. As a member of the U.S. Forest service Leopold successful designated the first wilderness area‚ the Gila National Forest (aldoleopold.org 2000). This would set precedent for future acts involving forest lands through means of passing policy through

is due to the inevitable depletion of our environment’s nonrenewable resources. Of course‚ electric power is not the only factor that has lead to our supply of nonrenewable resources declining in recent decades. The overdependence on natural gas and oil to fuel our cars and to heat our homes has also been a huge contributing factor. Although mining minerals does not have a direct effect on energy and the resulting campaign to conserve it‚ this mining does also contribute to our nonrenewable resources

Water Conservation Water is essential to Earth. We need it to cook‚ bathe‚ provide power‚ control fire‚ and last but not least‚ we need it to live! Therefore‚ it is very important to human survival. When 70% of Earth is made up of water‚ you would think that we have plenty of water for our needs. But really‚ about 97% of that water is made up of ocean. We cannot use this water because it is too saline for our needs. Only 3% of Earth’s water is fresh‚ and 2% of that supply is frozen
