An alternative resource, just as the term implies is a source of something which is different from the most common source.
For example the most common source of automotive fuel is fossil fuels pumped from the ground, however it is possible to make automotive fuel from corn oil or from sugar. These would be alternative resources.
These will help people in the future!

Energy conservation by using alternative sources?

How alternative resources reduce the natural resources?
give few alternative resources so as to reduce the use of natural resources
What are the alternative energy resources an alternative to?
Alternative energy resources such as solar power, wind power, etc, are an alternative to using fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. The benefits of using alternative energy are immense, the impact of using coal, oil and natural gas on global warming and the environment are devastating. Additionally, by using alternative energy resources we are saving the natural resources for future generations. (my hubby is a solar manager, and we are proud to be a part of this growing market that has helped create jobs during the tough economic times and keeps big companies like PG&E from making ALL of the money from consumers, basically having a monopoly on who we receive our energy from. Solar power can actually be converted and sold back to energy companies) :)

What is using fewer resources than an economy is capable of using called?
This situation is called underutilization. It can be both beneficial and harmful to a community. It's a benefit in that it saves some resources, but underutilizing resources can cause them to be produced in smaller numbers, leading to an imbalance as the resources are no longer underutilized because there is no longer a surplus.
