Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural

environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form
of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light.
Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign
substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is
often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. In 2015,
pollution killed 9 million people in the world. Major forms of pollution
include: Air pollution, light pollution, littering, noise pollution, plastic
pollution, soil contamination, radioactive contamination, thermal
pollution, visual pollution, water pollution.
Wastage of natural resources is the consumption of a resource
faster than it can be replenished. Natural resources are commonly
divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources
(see also mineral resource classification). Use of either of these forms
of resources beyond their rate of replacement is resource depletion.
The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in nature
and the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is
depleted the more the value of the resource increases. There are
several types of resource depletion the most known being; Aquifer
depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals,
pollution or contamination of resources, slash-and-burn agricultural
practices, Soil erosion, and overconsumption, excessive or
unnecessary use of resources. Resource depletion is most commonly
used in reference to farming, fishing, mining, water usage, and
consumption of fossil fuels. Depletion of wildlife population is called
defaunation.
 Responsible choices are connected to conserving
natural resources
Meaning of conserving:
By dictionary definition “The careful utilization of a natural resource in order to
prevent depletion”
Connection: It’s a responsible choice to
conserve natural resources. The way
we can do it is very accurate and can be
used. Locally, Sweden generally do very
good compared to other country that
copy with the wrong process. The way
the country does it is not good, as for
Thailand example, where is a high risk of
the country to become a garbage bin of the worlds trying to copy waste
management recycling system. The problem is even greater though. They are
trying to make a waste-to-electricity plant to save them and helm the people of
Thailand
In many countries, majority of the people don’t conserve or even try to
save natural resources. They are not even yet aware about the problem they are
causing by not having a responsible behavior in their daily lives. They are not
even aware yet because nobody informed them yet. They are still not making
connection to what they are doing and what it causes to other people. The
people who are not yet aware are the people that are not conserving natural
resources but think they are doing responsible choices All day long. That is very
wrong. Only the people who are making a difference are doing a responsible
choice toward the environment. For example, throwing reusable cardboard to
the bin in place of just recycling it. The only way to make people aware is by
telling them about it and at the same time push him to do research and act upon
it. The questions in the survey I sent out is the sting people's awareness and
challenging them to do more research and making them aware of their
surroundings. That is why I did my survey. To make people aware and think
before they do anything harmful toward the environment.
 There are responsible ways to use natural
resources
Yes, there are responsible ways to do
good to the environment ant the
natural resources. The only thing we
must do is find them out and applying
it in a responsible and
environmentally friendly process. To
find them the people need to be
aware, but nobody is making them
aware because they might not be
aware or are aware but not interested
about the topic. So, the people that
are aware and know extremely
important information that is passed
out in different places around the globe so that those people and act upon it in
different ways. To have information is very good because you know more about
it and have good ways to act upon it, but to act on it is very good and good for
the environment & the natural resources. The resources you use every day are
a resource or are made up by different resources to make your daily lives better
with luxury & no worries or care for the environment & it’s resources.
 A balanced perspective to consumption can lead
to conservation
We look for solutions and it’s not difficult. When I started to do research, I
become more and more concerned when I’ve seen how much waste we, people,
create. Many countries are not following any plan to do better, and handling
trash people create in an improper way, by burning the trash and affecting the
air too. I could see a country having good thought to copy a good example of
working with waste and recover “natural resources” and getting bad results
because of bad understanding of how it works and how it is done. I could see
very good results at Sweden level, where good plans in place lead by the
government are and I feel happy to have an active role. We need to understand
the best way of natural resources conservation is to recover by recycling in a
responsible way and to recover the materials instead for get them burnt and
polluting the air and the soil by ashes. The most important step is to have people
informed and to create as many ways possible to have them informed, by
posters, surveys, and public actions and in schools to understand how each
individual small action can prolonged our natural resources “life usage”.
 SURVEY CONCLUSION
Locally people have good knowledge about how he is contributing to a
cleaner earth and take responsible choices towards a longer and cleaner earth
meaning good education - and information - clear goals at governmental level.
