Model Answer
Two ways for the conservation of resources:
- Sustainable Development – Resources should be used carefully to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs (as recommended by the Brundtland Commission, 1987).
- Judicious/Planned Use – Irrational consumption and over-utilisation must be avoided through proper resource planning at national, state and local levels to prevent socio-economic and environmental problems.

Explanation
The examiner expects two distinct, named methods with a brief explanation of each. The key terms from the textbook are sustainable development and resource planning/judicious use. You can also mention Gandhiji's idea (avoiding greed-based exploitation) as an alternative second point. Avoid writing vague answers like "don't waste resources" — always link to textbook concepts for full marks.
