1. Conclusion
1
• We can have a positive
impact on our environment
when our activities affect
the environment and life in
a helpful way.
• We can do so by
conserving natural
resources and protecting
organisms living on the
Earth.
2. Conservation of natural resources
2
• We can help to prevent natural resources from running
out too quickly by conserving them in three ways:
– Reduce
– Reuse
– Recycle
• We can reduce our use of natural resources by cutting
down on the use of plastic and paper bags or materials
for packaging.
• We can reuse paper boxes as storage boxes or plastic
bottles as containers.
3. Conservation of natural resources
3
• We can recycle plastic,
metals, glass and
paper by placing
unwanted objects made
of these materials into
recycling bins.
• They will then be sent
for recycling.

5. Conservation of natural resources
5
• We can reduce land pollution by keeping places clean and
free of litter.
• This can be done by disposing waste and trash properly.
6. Conservation of natural resources
6
• We can also reduce the number of vehicles on the roads
by taking public transport or walking if the distance to the
destination is short.
• In this way, we can reduce the use of fuels such as petrol as
well as the release of pollutants and greenhouse gases into
the air.
7. Conservation of natural resources
7
• We can conserve wildlife by protecting their natural
habitats.
• We can also set up more nature reserves so that more
wildlife can grow and reproduce.
8. Reforestation
8
• Reforestation is carried out by planting seeds and young
plants in forests where trees have been removed.
• This helps to reduce the negative impact of deforestation
and restore the habitats for wildlife.
• Planting new trees also help to increase the amount of
oxygen and decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the
air.
