Fossil Fuel

Everything that needs ignitions would likely need oil, but it is running out. Is there any alternative resources out there?

Beside the use of fossil fuel and its benefits into our lives, its consummation is getting out of control. Oil use in unequal: USA consumes about 22 barrels of oil a person annually while in some developing countries consummation is as low as 3 barrels of oil a person annually.


Fossil fuel has many disadvantages but confusingly, people do not realize that or it is because they just do not care at all. Look at our environment now. It is used to be green and filled with refreshing air. But now, it is covered with pollution; whether it is air or water. It is disrupting out way of living.

Air pollution for one, is damaging our bodies. Fossil fuel emits gaseous pollutants which are toxic to our heart and lungs, growing cancer to them. It is also damaging our atmosphere, especially the ozone layer which has the role of protecting our earth from UV rays harmful against our skin.


These gases also plays a role in polluting the water. First the gases emitted go to our atmosphere and precipitate the dry disposition of them. They can also stick in cloud water and when it rains it would pour the dispositions into out earth, causing acid rain, fog, snow, uncommon weather to an area. These deleterious chemical reaction then endanger the aquatic life as well as the pH of the ground. Think of it like this, we eat vegetables and meats. Once their lives are unbalanced and we eat them unknowingly. Eventually, we are the ones who would get sick. It is a chain reaction.
