This document discusses environmental conservation and actions individuals and governments can take to protect the natural environment. It describes how overconsumption, population growth, and technology have degraded the environment. Governments have started restricting activities that cause harm. The document advocates combining modern living with respect for nature by taking small steps like using less energy and resources, recycling, and properly disposing of chemicals. Reforestation, sustainable energy sources, composting, and other individual actions are recommended to improve the environment for all life.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSERVATION AND ACTION
BY: Rodolfo D. Gajardo
HumSS – 11A

2. Environmental conservation and
action is a practice of protecting the
natural environment on individual,
organization controlled on
governmental levels,
for the benefit of
both the
environment
and humans.

3. Overconsumption, population and
technology, the biophysical
environment is being
degraded, sometimes
permanently.

4. This has been recognized, and
governments have begun placing
restraints on activities that
cause environmental
degradation.

5. We only have one planet and we
should all do our part to ensure
that it’s protected by combining
our modern ways of living
with a deeper
respect and
understanding
of what nature
provides.
Environmental Conservation

6. Environmental conservationists
understand that the way we live is
a reflection of how we feel about
the natural world, and our
everyday habits show how
much we truly
value all the things
that the Earth
gives us.

7. Environmental conservation is an
umbrella term that defines
anything we do to protect our
planet and conserve its
natural resources so
that every living
thing can have an
improved quality
of life.

8. It is meant to protect nature by
protecting vital resources, and it
is also a way of living that works
against the irresponsible
practices of businesses
and large
corporations.

9. Green living takes away the
power from those who have no
interest in using their influence
to promote the greater
good of our world and
choose to add
to the problem
instead.

10. If we all took little steps, we
would make our way towards
major progress. This can be
achieved by paying more
attention to what we
buy and not using
resources
unnecessarily.

11. We must also remember to
recycle and dispose of
chemicals properly so that the
ground and bodies of
water are not
poisoned.

12. The trees that help us to
breathe also isolate greenhouse
gases that would cause the
Earth to heat up more quickly.
They hold soil in place
and naturally filter
water that has
been absorbed into
the ground.

13. The waters of the ocean are
undeniably enchanting, but
there is much more to it than
visual splendor. When we
look up at the clouds
and feel the rain,
the ocean is to
thank for it.

14. Home to countless types of marine
life and plants, the ocean is both a
shelter and a life source. It gives us
more than half of the Earth’s
oxygen supply and stores
large amounts of
carbon dioxide to
help keep the Earth
cool.

15. The soil stands as its own
supporter of life by acting as a
supplier of food and a filter of
water. Soil that is of good
quality produces
crops that feed
humans and
animals.

16. The trees, the seas, and the
ground; these three elements
are necessary for our
existence, and there are
still more parts of nature
that we need
to protect.

17. By embracing and
promoting alternative energy source,
Mother Earth would be relieved. If
every household incorporated
the concepts of sustainable
living by using less
and conserving more,
the positive impact
would be
immeasurable.

18. Solar energy and wind power are
two of the renewable energy
options that we could use more
often. While we don’t completely
control how energy is
offered to us, there’s
always room to live
in a way that uses
less of the energy
that can’t be replenished.

19. Begin to conserve by making small
changes to everyday routines. For
example, use window light instead of
turning on lights during the day and
replace standard light bulbs
with bulbs that are energy
efficient and last for
an extended period
of time while requiring
less energy to run.

20. Deforestation continues to be
a major environmental issue. Many
forests are losing countless acres of
valuable trees, and because these
trees are destroyed, the
greenhouse gases
they were storing
go back into the
atmosphere and
contribute to global warming.

21. Animals and people lose their
food supply and homes, and the
economic status of a region can
also change because less
forests often leads to less
employment
opportunities
in the area.

22. Planting trees is a way to give
back because it aids in the
restoration of homes for wildlife,
food sources, and
medicinal properties
that only the
trees provide.

23. As trees grow, they protect soil
from harsh weather conditions
and protect us from excess
carbon dioxide, enabling
us to live longer
and more
comfortably.

24. Help to protect the quality of soil
through composing. When we
feed the soil, especially by using
leftover parts of food that
would otherwise be
thrown away,
we give the soil
nutrients that it
craves.

25. Enriching the soil this way sets
off a positive chain of events
that allows for other plants to
grow naturally, leading
to improved air quality
and adding to
the beauty of
the land.

26. Environmental Conservation: 8
Additional Ways You Can Help
•Stop smoking.
•Change the way you

•Unplug things.

27. Environmental Conservation: 8
Additional Ways You Can Help
•Learn to upcycle.
•Avoid using plastic and
paper so often.
•Promote change.
•Be kind to others.

28. Environmental Conservation is
a must as a human and as a
member of the community,
conserve and take an
effective action for the
environment
development.
