    Why energy is needed? How can we conserve energy resources? Explain.

    Answer:

    Energy is needed for the generation of power that aids in industrial production by the combustion of fossil fuels. Energy is always required as a fuel for vehicles. We should take the following steps to conserve non-renewable resources.
    Prohibiting wastage of resources: Wastage of resources should be reduced. Switching off fans, lights and electronic appliances when not in use, using cooking gas economically, use of pressure cookers, using tubelights in place of electric bulbs are some ways of conserving non-renewable resources which could help in a big way.
    Use of substitutes: Alternative sources of energy like solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, energy from biomas (biogas), etc., can be used on a large scale as a substitute of fossil fuels. For example use of solar cookers for domestic uses.
    Recycling resources: All types of metal wastes, glass, paper and plastic can be recycled and used again. For example?Recycling of paper helps to conserve forests.
