English term or phrase: to slow their depletion rates

Effectively, fossil fuels cannot be avoided completely, but their use needs to be optimized in order to slow their depletion rates and enable a more sustainable development, in our view.

Wie findet ihr folgende Lösung:

Der Einsatz fossiler Brennstoffe lässt sich nicht völlig umgehen, muss jedoch reduziert werden, um Ressourcen und Umwelt zu schonen.

Oder hab ich das zu frei übersetzt?

Explanation:
Evtl. kannst du das so umschreiben:
Der Einsatz fossiler Brennstoffe lässt sich nicht völlig umgehen, aber er muss eingeschränkt werden, damit diese Ressourcen weniger schnell verbraucht werden und eine nachhaltigere Entwicklung ermöglicht wird.
