Do you think you would be a good conservationist? If so, then tell why you would be a good conservationist.

Mr. Moss added: That’s a good question. I would add “Why is it important to be a good conservationist?” and “How and what would you conserve? Water? Energy?” How you respond to these fundamental questions is really the “essence” of your conservation essays!

Check out the site: Get Energy Active to learn more about energy conservation. They have an interactive house that shows you how to reduce your carbon footprint. Have fun!
