Natural resources, like mining, mineral and energy is managed continuously by indirect consumption but is treated as an input to the production process so that it can optimize the value added. The output will be directed as a cumulative capital. Other alternative is by using the natural resources and balancing it with the reclamation efforts and looking for the alternative source or substitution material that is more environmentally friendly.
The education and campaign of natural resources and life environmental consciousness have to be improved, especially for the younger generation so that qualified human resources and the concern for natural resources and life environmental issues will be created and action plans remedied.
