o Renewable Resources:
1. Use of alternative sources of power such as solar and wind energy. These
alternative sources of energy are bio friendly particular because they do not
produce harmful gases that damage the ozone layer.
2. Plant trees to prevent soil erosion. This entails planting trees and vegetation to
control soil erosion caused by wind and water.
3. Practicing of judicious ways to conserve water in our homes. This entails simple
practices like ensuring that taps are closed when they are not in use. Taking less
time in the shower aids to conserve gallons of water per month. Reusing some of
the water for watering the kitchen gardens in our homes is also an important
practice.
4. Treatment of industrial wastes and sewages before they are released in the
water bodies. Rapid industrialization has resulted to wastes that are harmful to
the ecosystem. The release of these effluents directly into the water bodies has
led to massive water pollution to some areas in the world especially in
developing countries. Therefore, industrial and human waste should be treated
to prevent thermal and chemical pollution of water.
5. This is an important practice of ensuring water conservation. It is done by
harvesting of rainwater during the wetter seasons of the year and using it during
the dry seasons.
6. Such practices include switching off the lights when not in use, unplugging
electrical appliances when not in use. Plugged-in appliances continue to use
electricity even when not in use. Other practices include spending less time when
taking hot showers.
7. Ensure the recycling of wastes. These wastes include plastics, paper bags that
have resulted to tones of garbage. Recycling entails re-manufacturing of already
used materials. This reduces the amount of waste available reducing soil and
water pollution.
