Why it is necessary to conserve mineral resources? |
| Answer» Conservation of mineral resources is essential because they are a country’s valuable possession. Some methods by which we can conserve minerals are:\tMinerals should be used in a planned and sustainable manner.\tTechnology should be upgraded to allow the use of low-grade ore at low costs.\tRecycling of metals also results in the conservation of mineral resources.\tNon-conventional sources of energy should be harnessed for the generation of electricity.\tSmall steps should be taken by every individual such as using public transport, car pooling and switching off lights and fans when not in use. (It is because 70% of electricity in India is generated by burning coal). Using power-saving devices also go a long way in conserving minerals and energy resources. | |
