Taking action has to occur on two separate fronts. First, governments must take action. They must help to enforce ways to conserve the energy resources that remain, while constantly promoting these environmentally friendly energy alternatives. On the individual level, each person must take responsibility for his or her own actions. Simple tasks, such as switching off a light not in use or a more complex undertaking of installing an alternative energy system in their home can make a huge contribution to the conservation of our fragile environmental resources.
Time is of the essence.
The planet's non-renewable resources will run out soon. The solution to this dilemma lies in the use of biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, ocean wave, solar, and wind energy. By increasing the usage of these sources of energy, the burden on non-renewable resources will be relieved.
