Sci 275 Week 2 Conservation And Preservation

Week 2 CheckPoint: Conservation and Preservation. Conservation is when a person uses something and tries to conserve it by using the minimal amounts that are necessary.

Preservation is when you try to save something, you don’t use any of the resources and you try to preserve it for years to come.
