1. “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.” ― MAHATMA GANDHI ―
2. “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
3. The term “resource” means any thing that we use from our environment to achieve our objective. For example, we require bricks, cement, iron, wood etc. to construct a building. All these items are called the resources for construction of building. A resource can be defined as „any natural or artificial substance, energy or organism, which is used by human being for its welfare. These resources are of two types: Natural Resources Artificial Resources
4. “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.” ― Gary Snyder
5. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES As the human population is continuously growing the consumption of natural resources is also increasing. With the increasing industrialization and urbanization of the modern human society, the use of all the resources is rising. If they are not properly used and well managed, a serious scarcity will result. Therefore we need to conserve the natural resources. This will also upset the ecological balance. Conservation is the proper management of a natural resource to prevent its exploitation, destruction or degradation. Conservation is the sum total of activities, which can derive benefits from natural resources but at the same time prevent excessive use leading to destruction or degradation.
6. Need for Conservation of Natural Resources We know that nature provides us all our basic needs but we tend to overexploit it. If we go on exploiting the nature, there will be no more resources available in future. There is an urgent need to conserve the nature. Some of the needs are : to maintain ecological balance for supporting life. to preserve different kinds of species (biodiversity). to make the resources available for present and future generation. to ensure the survival of human race.
7. Conservation of Natural Resources and Traditions of India The need for conservation of natural resources was felt by our predecessors and in India, there was a tradition of respecting and preserving the nature and natural resources. Natural resources were conserved in the form of sacred groves/forests, sacred pools and lakes, sacred species etc. In our country the conservation of natural forests is known from the time of Lord Asoka. Sacred forests are forest patches of different dimensions dedicated by the tribal to their deities and ancestral spirits. Cutting down trees, hunting and other human interferences were strictly prohibited in these forests.

Natural resources are resources that exist without actions of humankind. This includes all valued characteristics such as magnetic, gravitational, electrical properties and forces etc.
CONCLUSION
After discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the above resources it can be really a tough decision to point out the most suitable source of energy for the future. Although after thorough investigation of the above sources of energy it can be said that solar energy wind energy and biofuels are the leaders in this race for the favorable energy source for the future. It is an obvious fact that mankind could not survive with only these sources of energy. Scientists all round the world are trying to develop technologies to find alternative sources of energy. Nuclear fusion energy, fuel cell (H2O), plasma gasification of waste products are the arenas in which the future of mankind is dependent
In this lesson you will comprehend how the consumption of everyday p.docxmigdalialyle
In this lesson you will comprehend how the consumption of everyday products affects the availability of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources for future generations and learn about environmental threats to our home.
Read the following information to help you define three different types of resources—renewable, nonrenewable, perpetual.
1. On earth, there are only limited amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. There are also only limited amounts of minerals, such as iron, copper and bauxite. These resources either cannot be replaced by natural processes or require millions of years to replenish.
2. Some renewable and nonrenewable resources can be recycled or reused. This process decreases the rate at which the supplies of these resources are depleted. For example, aluminum cans can be recycled and turned into “new” cans or other aluminum products many times over. Recycling reduces the need to mine bauxite, the mineral used to manufacture aluminum.
3. Renewable natural resources include plants, animals and water when they are properly cared for. Minerals and fossil fuels such as coal and oil are examples of nonrenewable natural resources.
4. Trees, wildlife, water and many other natural resources are replaced by natural processes. Plants and animals can also be replenished by human activities. Water is continuously cycled and reused. Sunlight, wind, geothermal heat, tides and flowing water are perpetual resources.
Water is a resource that is typically considered renewable. However, over usage of water can cause us to use it faster than it is replenished.
The chart below approximates daily water consumption in the United States:
1. Thermoelectric Utilities 187 billion gallons/day
2. Irrigation 137 billion gallons/day
3. Public Water Supply 36 billion gallons/day
4. Industry 26 billion gallons/day
5. Rural and Livestock 8 billion gallons/day
Total 394 billion gallons/day
What are the threats to our environment?
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is all of the Earth's plants, animals, ecosystems and genes. It includes the tallest tree, the smallest insect, and the most delicate coral reef ecosystem. Biodiversity is what allows the Earth and all of its creatures to adapt and survive.
As humans, we are completely dependent on biodiversity for survival. Yet we are destroying large parts of our natural world. In places far and wide, humans are squeezing out other forms of life, sometimes causing the extinction of entire species.
We have the power to change our course. Each of us can act to protect our biodiversity and help create a sustainable future for life on Earth. Learn more about biodiversity and how

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

NATURAL
RESOURCES

2. Natural R esources -
Introduction
Natural resources are the materials that are
needed to sustain life and livelihood on earth.
A natural resource is anything people can use
which comes from nature.
People do not make natural resources, but gather
them from the earth.
They include AIR to breathe; WATER to drink;
LAND to live on, walk on and grow food on;
FOREST for timber, paper, wood, products and
medicinal plants and MINERALS for metals, fuel,
energy, etc.
3. Natural R esources
Energy resources
Mineral resources
Forest resources
Water resources
Food resources
Land resources
4. Classification of Natural
R esources
We often say there are two sorts of natural
resource: renewable resources and non-
renewable resources.
A renewable resource grows again or comes
back again after we use it. For example,
sunlight, water, and trees are renewable
resources.
A non-renewable resource is a resource that
does not grow or come back, or a resource
that would take a very long time to come back.
For example, coal is a non-renewable resource.
5. Classification of Natural
R esources
Renewable
Non-Renewable
Fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) Renewable energy
Metallic minerals (copper, (solar, wind, biomass,
hydropower, ocean
aluminum, iron, gold etc)
energy, geothermal
Non-metallic minerals energy)
(nitrate, sulfur, salts, coal,
Water
petroleum etc)
Air
Soil
Plants and animals
7. Conservation of Natural
R esources
When we use coal, there is less coal afterward.
One day, there will be no more of it to make
goods.
The non-renewable resource can be used
directly (for example, burning oil to cook), or
we can find a renewable resource to use (for
example, using wind energy to make electricity
to cook).
It is important to conserve (save) non-
renewable resources, because if we use them
too quickly there will not be enough.
8. Conservation of Natural
R esources
Every thing that human beings use is drawn from the
natural resources. Hence, the human population is making
an increasing demand over the natural resources.
The increasing demand is attributed to the increased
standards of living and excessive consumption of natural
resources.
Due to these factors the natural resources are depleting at
a faster rate both quantitatively and qualitatively, which
draws serious attention for conservation.
9. Conservation of Natural
Resources
The wise use of the earth's resources by
humanity.
The term conservation came into use in the late
19th century and referred to the management,
mainly for economic reasons, of such valuable
natural resources as timber, fish, topsoil,
pastureland, and minerals, and also to the
preservation of forests, wildlife, parkland,
wilderness, and watershed areas.
10. Conservation of Natural
Resources
In recent years the science of ecology has
clarified the workings of the biosphere; i.e.,
the complex interrelationships among
humans, other animals, plants, and the
physical environment.
At the same time burgeoning population
and industry and the ensuing pollution have
demonstrated how easily delicately
balanced ecological relationships can be
disrupted.
11. Conservation of Natural
Resources
Conservation of natural resources is now
usually embraced in the broader conception of
conserving the earth itself by protecting its
capacity for self-renewal.
Particularly complex are the problems of
nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal
and other minerals in great demand.
Current thinking also favors the protection of
entire ecological regions by the creation of
"biosphere reserves“.
12. ENERGY RESOURCES
Conventional/Commercial: sources used for
mass generation of power/energy – Fossil
fuels (coal, oil and gas), hydropower and
nuclear energy
Non conventional/Non-commercial: sources
used for generating power/energy in lesser
magnitude – Biomass, solar, wind, geothermal,
ocean energy.
13. ENERGY RESOURCES
Renewable/Non-Exhaustable: sources which
are continuously restored by nature – Water,
solar, wind, biomass, geothermal etc.
Non-renewable/Exhaustable: sources which
once accumulated in nature, have practically
ceased to form under new geologic conditions
– Fossil and atomic fuels.
14. Renewable and
Nonrenewable Energy
Sources
Nonrenewable
Renewable
15. Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels take millions of
years to form. They are the
product of the fossilized
remains of dead plants and
animals that have been
exposed to the heat and
pressure deep within the
earth’s crust. There are many
types of fossil fuels, such as
petroleum (gasoline), natural
gas, and coal.
16. Fossil
Fuels
Fossil fuels are arguably
one of the most valuable
natural resources in
modern times. It is
estimated that 86 percent of
the world’s energy comes
directly from burning fossil
fuels. Fossil fuels are the
source of energy for almost
every machine, including
the generators that produce
electric energy.
17. Fossil
Fuels
Because fossil fuels take so
long to form, they are being
consumed faster than they
can be produced. Fossil
fuels are a major contributor
to air pollution because
when they are burned they
release many dangerous
gases such as nitrogen
dioxide, methane, and
carbon dioxide.
18. Questions

21. Solar
Energy
The sun is the closest
star to Earth. It brings
heat and light to the
world. Some areas of
the world, such as
those closest to the
equator, have more
sun than others.
22. The sun shines naturally
but it is not affected by
human activity. It cannot
be used up. However, its
intensity varies with the
seasons, and it is not
available at night.
Solar
Energy
23. Solar
Energy
The sun’s rays are used
for energy by organisms
that undergo
photosynthesis. Nearly
every organism on the
planet gets energy
through photosynthesis,
directly or indirectly.
There are also ways that
people can utilize the
energy that the sun
provides.
24. Solar
Energy
We can use solar
power in simple
(facing the sun to get
warm, using
greenhouses to grow
food, etc.) and more
complex (solar panels
for heating) ways.

28. Wind
Wind is caused by
the uneven heating
of the atmosphere.
Some areas of the
world, such as costal
regions, have more
wind than others
because the terrain
of the area is
relatively flat and
has few obstacles to
block the wind from
blowing.
29. Wind
The wind blows naturally – it is not
caused by human activity, and it
cannot be used up.
The power of the wind drives
sailboats. It has been used to
power windmills that grind grain.
Windmills can also use the circular
movement of the blades to turn a
turbine. This is increasingly used
as a means of generating
electricity.
30. Wind
Wind power does not make
greenhouse gas emissions.
It does not directly cause
pollution. However, critics
of wind power say a large
number of windmills could
cause problems for
animals, especially
migratory birds. Some
people think the windmills
are unattractive.

34. Forests
• A forest is a natural ecosystem having diversified
species of plants, shrubs, small and large tress in
different stages of lifespan.
• There are forests all over the world. Forest cover about
1/3rd of the earth’s land surface, of which about 50% is
occupied by tropical forest.
35. Forests
Forests serve as home to
many of the organisms
that live on the land.
Forests are also very
important because they
are major contributors to
recycling and cleaning
the world supply of
oxygen. Forests also
provide wood, which is
useful both as a
construction material
and as a fuel source.
36. Forests
Forests occur naturally, but they
can be affected positively and
negatively by human behavior. If
a forest is carefully replanted
and allowed to grow, it can exist
in balance. If the forest is cut
down faster than it can grow
back, then it will be used up
quickly.
37. The Importance of Trees
• wind barriers
• filtration
• biodiversity
• shade
• erosion control
• decreases noise pollution
38. Benefits of Trees in the Rural Environment
• Wind protection for crops
• Erosion control
• Creates diverse plant and animal habitats
• Purifies the air absorbing carbon monoxide, sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen dioxide
39. Benefits of Trees in Suburban Environments
• Shade canopy
• Building Ecology
• Noise Buffers
• Habitat for suburban wildlife
40. Benefits of Trees in Urban Environments
• Tree muffle urban noise.
• A mature leafy tree produces as
much oxygen in a season as 10
people inhale in a year.
• Trees help cleanse the air.
• Trees can be cool!
• Energy savers and windbreakers.
