6. Explain the key features of: Managing Consumption
1.Education - trying to change behaviour -Educating people can be done through advertising, schools and general public awareness. - They can publicise simple messages to aim to reduce the use of non-renewables and to use them more efficiently e.g. walking not driving, turning off lights, turning taps off when brushing teeth,
2. Conservation - maintaining health of natural world
This can be done through grants, quotas, programmes, laws, taxes
For example, grants and subsidies for renewable energy, reducing car tax for less polluting cars, grants for solar panels and insulating homes.
3. Recycling
Local councils can provide recycling centres at supermarkets so people can recycle when they go shopping - they don't have to go out of their way. Door-to-door recycling collection
Fines for companies and people who don't recycle
4. Potential of renewables
Examples of alternative and renewable resources include:biomass and biofuels, solar power, wind power, geothermal power
