In modem era, under consumer culture, mindless exploitation is being done of natural resources such as minerals, forest, water, energy sources to manufacture products. This system, by depleting valuable and health some sources are polluting the atmosphere. According to scientists, if the consumption of natural resources remains at current rate, then underground copper will disappear in 277 years, cobalt and platinum in 400 years, petrol in 49 years, petroleum gas in 60 years and coal in a few years.

Today in the world, whatever energy resources such as petrol, coal, and natural gas are being used, nature had taken 10 lakh years in preparing them. Thus it is clear that in consumer culture, people are not happy and satisfied in the true sense of the word inspite of such sources of luxuries. Due to unending new needs, man is falling prey to mental tension. The earth is not a personal property of anyone. Thus, it is our moral duty to conserve present natural resources, by keeping our needs confined. We should lead a controlled and sensibly frugal life.
