Resource conservation/utilization

The complementary role played by both farmer and formal sorghum genetic resource conservation for sustainable utilization is tremendous. In order to benefit from their complementarities, integrated genetic resource management, and utilization for reducing GE has to be implemented.

The problem of waste tires can be turned into an opportunity. Many benefits have resulted by focusing on an alternative way to utilize the bulky waste, as opposed to how to dispose of it. One of the alternatives is utilizing waste tires to control streambank erosion and streambed grade. In addition to saving valuable public and private land or property threatened by erosion, this option has other benefits. It provides a use for problem tires, has financial benefits, and increases public awareness in the area of natural resource conservation and solid waste management. 

Run construction low carbon ecological mining resources can not only overcome the disadvantage of occurrence condition and improve the resources comprehensive utilization, but also energy conservation and emissions reduction, from black economy to white transformation. 

A critical part of the regnlation is to rednce and, where possible, eliminate the generation of hazardons waste. Waste minimization was specifically mandated in the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Wastes Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. This has had an enormous impact on the way waste is handled by printed circuit board facilities. Prevention of pollution has become the overriding goal in design with recycle and reuse technologies implemented only where pollution prevention is not feasible for technical and/or economic reasons. Chemical treatment of wastes should be utilized only where no other options exist. 

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) emphasizes that CTRs are hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when discarded into landfills or waste incinerators. Under the DEP s interpretation of RCRA hazardous waste regulations [36], CTRs are considered as materials, rather than wastes, when reused as a substitute for commercial purposes, i.e., when utilized to manufacture new CRTs, or as a fluxing agent at a secondary lead smelter. Only CTRs disposed in landfills or incinerated are regulated as hazardous waste under RCRA.

It is only comparatively recently that we have become acutely aware of the need to utilize resources in a sustainable manner. The concept of sustainability began to receive attention during the 1970s and was first formalized internationally in the World Conservation Strategy of 1980. The initial concepts were taken from the idea of sustainable yield, as applied in forestry and agriculture. This is defined as the amount of crop that can be harvested without compromising the capacity of future harvests to produce an equal crop. The level of consumption of a resource to support an activity should meet the needs of the present, whilst ensuring that sufficient resources are available to meet the needs of the future. The concepts of sustainability include social, economic and environmental factors. All three must be taken into account if the absolute sustainability of a process is to be determined. 

Hard surfaces, such as patios, pathways, driveways, and pads for utility areas, account for most of the building materials used in gardens. They often reguire a substantial depth of foundation material, which involves excavating topsoil. Sustainability and conservation of resources should govern your choices. 

The NMFS role in fisheries development is catalytic in nature by encouraging and assisting in the achievement of full utilization of U.S. fishery resources to derive maximum economic and social benefits from those resources under U.S. jurisdiction. In practical terms, this will require greater initiative on the part of the commercial and recreational fishing industries to utilize America s non-traditional fish species, while the Federal Government will work to reduce foreign fishing in our fishery conservation zone and remove or reduce other impediments. 

The recognition that active ingredients extracted from native herbs may have potential utility in modem medicine has given new incentive to worldwide efforts to conserve vulnerable populations of wild plant species.50 During the past decade, market demand for Chinese herbs around the world has increased sharply. And these resources have been avidly sought as raw material by drug processors in the East as well as the West. As a result of mass collecting, many natural habitats and the plant communities which they sustain have been decimated and some species are threatened or have become scarce.
