If renewable energy resources can be replaced why do we need to conserve them?

Answer 1

The wind and the sun and moving waters are all renewable energy sources. We really do not have to conserve them.

At present much of our electricity is generated from fossil fuels, producing extra carbon dioxide emissions and causing global warming and climate change, so it is important to conserve electricity. Conserving electricity will reduce these harmful emissions.

When all our energy is produced from renewable sources and we are no longer burning fossil fuels (some time in the future), then electricity will be cheaper (or completely free), and conserving electricity will not be as important.

Answer 2

Renewable resources should be used wisely because if we over-exploit them, the amount we have will decline because we would start to use them faster than they are produced. Just because they can be renewed doesn't mean they will still last forever.

Answer 3

Although some resources are renewable, such as fresh water which falls in the form of rain, we still have only a limited quantity of them, and the ever growing global population constantly needs more resources to consume. Many parts of the world have severe water shortages, and this situation is likely to get worse.

Answer 4

While renewable energy resources can be replenished, they are not unlimited and still require time and effort to harness. Conserving these resources helps to ensure their availability for future generations and reduces the impact on the environment. Additionally, using energy more efficiently can help to reduce overall energy consumption and lessen emissions of greenhouse gases.

Answer 5

Renewable resources need to be conserved because they are the sources of our planet. Accountable utilization of renewable resources will guarantee that they're for longer generations.
