NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION  Energy  Petroleum  Forests  Urbanization  Environmental pollution  Sea and waters  Air pollution  Earth  Recycling

ENERGY SAVING POLICY  Present resources – Chemical energy, Electrical energy, Heat, Mechanical energy, Nuclear energy  Alternative energy sources – Solar energy, Wind energy, Wave energy, Bio-Gas, Bio-Diezel, Hydrogen  Energy saving  Rechargable battery use  Energy saver bulbs  Insulation of buildings

PETROLEUM SAVING POLICY  Reducing the use of petroleum, coal and natural gas (fossil fuel)  Not driving vehicles unless necessary (Low aired tires consume more oil. Unnecessary and sudden push on the breaks increase oil consumption by 5 %)  Prefering public transportation to private cars  Applying insulation to all buildings to reduce heating energy.

SAVING FORESTS  Growing more forests  Forming new areas for plantation  Preventing fires in forested areas  Protecting Flora(plants) and Fauna(animals)  Prohibiting buldings in or near forested areas

PROVIDING PROPER URBANIZATION  Forming restrictional rules to unhealthy urban developments and applying these rules without any privelages  Keeping constructions away from forests  Prohibiting sea-shore fillings  Protecting and increasing green fields in cities

DECREASING ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION  Water and Seas  Controlling the use of detergents: minimum use is essential  Purification of polluted wastes and re-use  Releasing factory wastes to nature after cleaning process  Protecting fish species  Controlling fish-farms  Air Pollution  Filtering the chimneys of industrial plants and houses  Using alternative technologies in vehicle production – hybrid technology and bio-diesel oil

 Keeping the filters of vehicles clean  Increasing the emission power of vehicles  Encouraging the use of low engine power vehicles

RECYCLING RECYCLING  Constructing power plants to recycle residential wastes  Separation of wastes – plastics, glass, paper, chemical products  Consuming food provided in recyclable boxes and packages

POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION  No need to say that environmental protection must be the most important policy that countries should take into account.  Local organizations and NGO’s must take action against ones who try to break present rules.  Schools as well as families must act proactively to provide education to these organisations.
