Conservation:

The green movement recognizes the responsibility of citizens of the planet to conserve the earth’s vitality, biodiversity and beauty, for the present generation and the generations that will follow. The human race is a part of the natural world and we rely on the earth’s resources for our existence. This means that it is our responsibility to use ecological wisdom, to be good stewards of the environment, and to live within the resource limits of the earth. The green movement is committed to the conservation of the earth’s ecosystems, resources, biodiversity and all forms of life.

Conservation includes areas such as the following:

Habitat conservation: The focus of habitat conservation is to prevent the extinction of species by protecting the habitats of those species. Conservation projects include habitat restoration projects such as reforestation.
Water conservation: Water is essential for human survival. Water conservation encourages minimizing water use and implementing water-saving technology for optimum water efficiency. This can be accomplished through things like low-flow showerheads, low-flush toilets, rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling.
Energy conservation: An essential part of sustainable living and conservation is the conservation of energy. This is achieved through reduced energy consumption and efficient energy use. The best way to reduce energy consumption is by making use of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy. These ecologically friendly alternatives not only reduce energy bills, but also significantly reduce household carbon emissions.
Materials conservation: This area of conservation refers to the efficient use of finite resources and raw materials that are used in manufacturing and production, such as cotton and iron ore. Conservation of these materials includes making eco-friendly purchasing decisions that promote sustainability and ethical consumerism.

Those who embrace the green movement advocate the conservation of the environment by lobbying for changes in government policy as well as individual behavior. Activism and education play an important role in spreading the message of conservation and environmental management.
