Conservation

      "Earth provides enough to satisfy every mans needs, but not every mans greeds."(Mahatma Gandhi). Conservation: using resources in an orderly, conservative way, so that future generations will be able to thrive just as well as the last. Personally, I am very aware of conserving what resources I use, reuse what I can, and recycle renewable materials. I grew up in a household where we never wasted or neglected living a conservative life. This taught me to always use less, because you can always use more after that, but if you take more than what is needed, the excess is then wasted.

     If I had to explain conservation in a nutshell, it would be reduce, reuse and recycle. Reducing the amount used to exactly what you need will significantly help keep you from wasting resources. Reuse what you can. If you can use anything more than once, whether it be a bottle, a bag, or even a plastic fork, reusing anything is a great was to conserve what little resources we have left in world. Throwing away a plastic bottle or a can is just as bad as just throwing it onto the ground. Eventually, everything that is thrown in the trash ends up in landfills, and all that does is makes less space for everything else. Recycling is a great way to revive something after it is done of its use. It's like an endless supply of materials, or as close as we can get to that. If every person were to just recycle as much as they could, the world would be in a much better shape then it is in now.

     In conclusion, conservation can be interpreted simply to reduce, reuse, and recycle. If everyone was to do their part in keeping this world as  beautiful as possible, the outcome of this world would greatly differ from the path that it is heading down now. Many people don't understand that the world is actually very fragile. If you think that you as an individual will not make a difference in the world, you need a reality check. I hope that people will heed to the early warnings that the world is showing and use that as fuel to step up their act. For me, my drive is I never want to see this beautiful island change. And I hope others feel the same way and will not give in to greed.
