Reflect Upon
We are all lucky to have a chance to live because of the nutrients and minerals available on
Earth. Preserving and conserving our natural resources is all we can do to give back and show our
gratefulness to our Mother Earth.
We can conserve mineral resources by utilizing renewable resources, and make use of new
technological methods in mining. It can be very helpful in conserving mineral resources by ensuring
minimal wastage during the mining.
People should start the used of minerals in a planned and sustainable manner before it’s too
late.
