The conservation of minerals is so important because if it gets exhausted one day, our life will be halted.There are many ways to conserve it. The first one can be the planned use of it because minerals are limited on the surface of the earth. And the development of technology is essential for the use of low-grade ores at a low cost itself because the extraction of minerals takes a high cost. The minimization of waste during the mining and processing also should be taken seriously. We should find substitute methods for minerals. Such as the use of plastic because rubber can be re-produced within a small period of time. The use of solar and wind energies also will help as they are non-conventional methods.
