Explain the concept of sustainable energy practices.

• Sustainable energy practices focus on utilizing renewable energy sources to minimize environmental impact and ensure long-term energy availability.

• Sustainable energy practices are focused on maximizing energy consumption without regard for environmental impact.

• Sustainable energy practices do not consider the long-term effects of energy production on the environment.

• Sustainable energy practices prioritize using non-renewable energy sources to reduce costs.

Why is efficient use of natural resources important in resource management?

• Efficient use of natural resources has no impact on the environment

• Efficient use of natural resources helps in sustainability, waste reduction, and preservation for the future.

• Efficient use of natural resources leads to overconsumption and depletion

• Efficient use of natural resources is unnecessary and wasteful

What is solar power and how is it considered a renewable energy source?

• Solar power is energy derived from the sun's radiation, and it is considered a renewable energy source due to the sun being an abundant and virtually inexhaustible resource.

• Solar power is energy derived from fossil fuels

• Solar power is energy derived from wind turbines

• Solar power is energy derived from nuclear reactions

Name some common energy conservation techniques used in households.

• Leaving all lights on 24/7

• Turning off lights when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, sealing windows and doors, adjusting thermostat settings, using natural light

• Using outdated, energy-guzzling appliances

• Keeping windows and doors open during extreme weather

Give examples of natural resources that are commonly wasted and how they can be conserved.

• Examples of natural resources commonly wasted are water, energy, and forests. They can be conserved by fixing leaks, using water-saving appliances, turning off lights when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, reducing paper usage, recycling, and supporting sustainable logging practices.

• Clear-cutting forests without replanting

• Leaving faucets running constantly

• Burning more fossil fuels
