Conserving Our Resources- EPSCOR Newsletter Volume 4, Spring 2005
Every person should conserve our resources. Resources of several types come to mind:
- Environmental resources - our aina, our sea, our air, our environment, our Hawaii, our planet earth, all need to be cherished and perserved.
- Financial resources - research dollars, equipment, facilities, and staff are limited and need to be utilized for maximum gain.
- Intellectual resources - our ideas, realistic or note, theories, hypotheses, and strategies, will expand our knowledge base and man's ability to think.
- Faith - the spiritual resource, such as the passion within, social consciousness, need for justice, proving one's worth, desire to seek the truth within us that drive us to expand our horizons and seek the yet unsought, to prove the unproven, or to ponder the unthinkable.
