Answer 3

Burning fossil fuels is not a method of conserving nonrenewable resources because burning fossil fuels actually depletes nonrenewable resources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and air pollution. Therefore, burning fossil fuels is not a sustainable method of conserving nonrenewable resources.
