•Give examples of how pollution negatively affects everyone.
Objectives
• What can be done to protect and conserve
natural resources.
Exploiting Natural Resources
• Natural resources are those substances
which are supplied by nature, to the
humans and which are vital for survival.
– These Include air, water, soil, sun, plants,
animals, and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural
gas)
• Natural resources that we exploit are
getting extremely less in availability and
these take a long time to renew.
The ways and means of pollution
• Pollution is the action or process of
making natural resources unsafe or
unusable
– Smoke and exhaust causes the air to become
dirty and harmful to breathe
– Waste dumped into waterways harms fish and
animals
– Nuclear waste can pollute air, water, and soil
Protection and Conservation of
Natural Resources
• Sustained usage – using a natural
resource, to a minimal level, so that it is
not get critically or permanently damaged
• Sustainable usage helps contain pollution
and helps to keep the environment safe
Alternate ways for Conservation
• Conserve – means to save
• People can use
– Hybrid engines in their cars and other
vehicles, Which use much less gas
– Wind turbines produce electric power, which
can also be put into use.
Three R's
• By Following Three R's, we can conserve
natural resources.

• You can recycle by
– participating in recycling programs
– buying products from companies that use
recycled materials and practice recycling
