Answer
(a) conserve our natural resources.
The five things I have done over the last one week to conserve natural resources are
- Saved electricity - By switching off the electrical appliances when not in use
- Saved wastage of water - By using bucket for bathing rather than using a shower
- Save petrol/diesel - By travelling by public transport rather than using private vehicle
- Used solar energy to cook food - By using solar cooker to cook food rather than using LPG
- Replaced ordinary bulbs with energy efficient LEDs - Replacing high energy consuming bulbs by energy efficient LEDs
(b) increase the pressure on our natural resources
- Used air conditioner - Air conditioners use a lot of electricity and also affects the climate.
- Used a cab to travel a short distance - This lead to use of petrol/diesel when i could have travelled by foot.
- Left the tap open while brushing teeth - This lead to wastage of water
- Forgot to switch off the television before going to bed - This lead to wastage of electricity
- Used only one side of paper - This leads to wastage of paper which is formed by cutting trees.
