Which of the following explains why using locally-produced resources (as opposed to those produced a great distance away) can be considered a form of conservation?
a)
transporting resources consumes additional resources.
b)
using local resources reduces the requirement for transport.
c)
buying local with tax revenue.
d)
both a and b.

Option D, Both A and B

Explanation:

Conservation is a process or an attempt to save resources by reducing its consumption in a sustainable way.

Here, usage of locally produced resources is encouraged in order to conserve resources by reducing the transportation services required to transport resources that are not produced locally.

Since transportation itself uses additional resources, thus increased transportation activities will cause wastage of resources.

Hence, option D is correct.

d) Both A and B.

Explanation:

The use of locally produced resources brings many benefits not only to society but to the environment itself. This is because local resources usually have a better economic cost, because these resources did not need to include the price of transportation in their momentum value. In addition, as we know, vehicles emit polluting gases into the atmosphere, damaging the air and degrading the environment and consuming additional resources. With the consumption of locally produced resources, the need for transport vehicles is reduced.
