Conserving scarce resources will make the scarce resources to be in plenty.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we conserve scarce resources, the availability of such resources will be gradually increasing and at one point there will be huge store of scarce resources. It is agreed that scarce resources when conserved affects the consumption of it however, at later stage there will be huge availability of it which will be at store during emergency.

Scarce resources may also pave way for the need to invent alternate source to conserve it. Resource scarcity may result in technical innovations which would find ways to use the scarce resource efficiently.
