urgently need to transform the way we use resources by completely changing the way we produce and consume goods and services.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The case of high resource consumption occurs primarily in the bigger cities of the world.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><i>Cities worldwide are responsible for 60-80% of global energy consumption and 75% of carbon emissions, consuming more than 75% of the world\u2019s natural resources.<\/i><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To turn this unfortunate way of life around, we all have to play a role.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Education and Public Awareness<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All stakeholders must aim to provide information and raise public awareness about the natural resources we have and the need to ensure their health. Even though there is a lot of information in the public domain, campaigners must try to use less scientific terms and avoid complex terminology to send the message across. Once people understand how useful our natural resources are, they will be better at preserving them.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Individuals, organizations, and nations<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">People and organizations in developed nations with high resource consumption rates must be aware of the issues of natural resources. People should understand that it is OK to enjoy all the items and gadgets at home but also give back to the environment by way of reducing waste, recycling waste, and becoming a part of the solution. We can achieve this in our homes and workplaces by reducing waste and also by recycling the waste we create.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><b>Governments and Policy<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Governments must enforce policies that protect the environment.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, a part of the Ross Sea in Antarctica is to be protected beginning from December 2017 (READ MORE HERE)<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They must ensure that businesses and industries play fair and are accountable to all people. Incentives must be given to businesses that use recycled raw materials and hefty fines to those that still tap from raw natural resources. Businesses must return a portion of their profits to activities that aim at restoring what they have taken out of the environment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f64e67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9f64e67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our research for this topic included these sources:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-365b201 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"365b201\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>UNEP (2013) City-Level Decoupling: Urban resource flows and the governance of infrastructure transitions.
