The document discusses various topics related to conservation and preservation of the environment including sustainable use of natural resources, renewable and non-renewable resources, the views of conservationists on development, and preserving areas not impacted by humans. It also discusses recycling and how recycling can prevent waste and reduce energy usage, air and water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The document contains information on ISO recycling standards and examples of materials that can be recycled like glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics.

3.  Conservation of environment simply implies
the sustainable use as well as management of
natural resources which include
wildlife, water, air, and earth deposits. There
are renewable and non-renewable natural
resources. Conservation of natural resources
generally focuses on the needs & interests of
human beings, for instance the
biological, economic, cultural and recreational
values.

4.  Conservationists have the view that
development is necessary for a better
future, but only when the changes occur in
ways that are not wasteful. Read on to know
more about preservation and conservation of
environment.

6.  As far as preservation of environment is
concerned, it tries to maintain the present
condition areas of the nature or Earth which
are not yet touched by humans. This is
because of the fat that mankind is
encroaching onto the environment at such a
rate that various wild landscapes are being
given over to
farming, industry, housing, tourism and other
human developments.

7.  And we lose much of the natural areas.
Preservationists also strongly support the
protection of nature for purely human-centered
reasons. However, some adopts less human-
centered approach to environmental
protection, placing a value on nature that does
not relate to the needs and interests of human
beings. But is a fact that by preserving and
conserving environment we can make a
healthy atmosphere to live in.

9.  Materials can be reused in many areas of a retail
operation, starting with the construction of the
store. The Greening Retail database contains two
case studies of retailers who have incorporated
reused materials in building and in fitting out their
stores.
 Like waste reduction, reusing materials and
products can happen at all points in a supply
chain. Of the 27 examples of materials reuse in the
database, there is one that deals with reusing
packaging for transporting goods to the store.

10.  Five of the cases are about reducing packaging at the store
level, while 14 are in regards to packaging for customers.
This large number is due to the movement to reduce the
number of single-use bags used for purchases.
 A store may provide services that will extend the life of a
product by implementing a product return policy. Five case
studies in the database tell about retailers who do this.
 The following table summarizes the types of practices
found in the Greening Retail best practice database that
pertain to the reuse of items and includes the number of
companies for which this practice is described in the
database.

12.  Recycling is a process to change materials (waste)
into new products to prevent waste of potentially
useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh
raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air
pollution (from incineration) and water pollution
(from landfilling) by reducing the need for
"conventional" waste disposal, and
lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to
plastic production.[1][2] Recycling is a key
component of modern waste reduction and is the
third component of the
"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

13.  There are some ISO standards related to recycling
such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO
14001:2004 for environmental management control
of recycling practice.
 Recyclable materials include many kinds
of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electroni
cs. Although similar in effect, the composting or
other reuse of biodegradable waste—such
as food or garden waste—is not typically
considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are
either brought to a collection center or picked up
from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and
reprocessed into new materials bound for
manufacturing.
