There are so many ways that a person can help to conserve the environment.  As you can see in the link below, just one source has a list of 30 things a person can do to conserve.  In general, the best way to conserve the environment is to avoid using more resources than is necessary.  You can do this by avoiding using resources yourself and you can try to buy goods and services that do use the fewest resources.

Among the things that you can do to avoid using unnecessary resources are:

• Don’t drive more than you need to.


• Turn off lights when you aren’t using them.


• Don’t take long showers.


• Replace some or all of your lawn with plants that don’t need much water.

You can also buy things that do not use up as many resources.  For example:

• Buy products that come in less packaging or in recyclable packaging.


• Buy less meat because it takes more resources to raise meat than plants.


• Buy produce from local farmers because it does not have to be shipped as far.

All of these are ways to conserve the environment.  You can see many others at the link below.
