Conservation In Your Life

Perhaps one of our societies biggest downfalls, is that we are wasteful. Incredibly wasteful actually. Our lives are spent wasting time, energy, and emotion on people and activities that do nothing for us. Everyone is guilty of wasting, and therefore everyone needs to add an important concept to many areas of their life: conservation.

Our first thoughts about conservation probably take us to picturing a rain forest somewhere in the jungle whose trees are being quickly cut down, or to a village in Africa whose meager water supply is wasted on unnecessary things. These are both situations that could rightly learn from the concept of conservation.

Any true change in the world will only happen when individuals start to change their own lives. So let's begin thinking about conservation as it relates only to our individual lives. Think about the most valuable resources you have at your disposal. Some of the most valuable resources we have are time, energy, mind, and health. It is only as we begin to see our lives as full of natural resource that we can begin the process of conservation and protection of these resources.

If time is one our greatest assets, then we must think about the ways you spend or use that resource. We can practice conservation by looking for ways to use our time more efficiently and wisely. We must also look for ways to practice conservation of our energy. This can be done by taking time for exercise, proper sleep, and relaxing activities. The great resource of the mind needs to be conserved by taking time to enrich it through reading, studying and even writing. We should consider your most valuable resources and look for ways to practice the conservation of each of them.

When you are committed to practicing conservation in your own life, you can begin to look outside yourself and see resources in your neighborhood or city that can be conserved as well.
