Oil Conservation
Making oil conservation a way of life is in truth a very simple concept. The simplest way to do this is to cut down on your use of cars. Bike, walk, rollerblade, skateboard, or run to your destination. Not only does it conserve oil but it gives you exercise as well. Another way to make oil conservation a part of life is to choose materials other than plastic which uses crude oil for household items; you should also use cloth or paper bags instead of plastic bags when shopping. One very simple way to conserve oil is to use a push lawn mower as opposed to a gas using one that uses up oil inn a way which is very easily avoidable. While we're on the topic of gardening studies show that chemical fertilizers use fossil fuels in the process of making the fertilizer. Therefore one way to not use oil is to use organic fertilizer which includes the basic household foods of fruit peels, bread crusts, and coffee grinds. I hope now that it is clear that making oil conservation a way of life is simple and that by doing even one of these suggestions you will be preserving one of the earths most precious and diminishing commodities.
Hi ankur, oil(petroleum) is one of the commercial fuel and we get it from lithosphere(soil).For the formation, from the buried ocean creatures and land animals due to natural catastrophes require millions of years.therefore, once we extract the oil from such deposits, amount is depleted and we have to wait another thousands of years for its formation.therefore it is called non renewable resource.And due to the industrialization,large usage of automobiles,our oil resources exist all over the old are depleting at faster rate.And oil and petroleum exporting countries are dominating and they determine the price of oil in the world market.Mostly developing countries like India and China need more oil to meet out their large demand(for production of electricity ;transport sector )as a result, more money is spent by them for importing fuel from countries

    Furthermore, society currently needs oil. The United States and numerous other countries are working on ways in which we will lessen, and possibly eliminate, our reliance on oil. However, until that happens we need to continue using the resources that are currently available. Mankind is a very intelligent species and is able to create ways to improve our reliance on fossil fuels. Based on current trends it appears we will someday soon be using more “green”…

    We Americans have a comfortable lifestyle, for the most part. A large part of being comfortable comes from the use of natural resources. Freon keeps your refrigerators and homes cool in the summer. Liquid propane, kerosene, and other natural gases keep your houses warm in the winter. Oil is used for so many products it is mindboggling. Not only is it used to create the gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and other fuels to propel our transportation, but is used to lubricate those engines as well. It’s not just transportation engines it is used to lubricate; it is used…

    Renewable energy sources are vital to the survival of our population as well as saving the environment. Fossil Fuels are going to run out, it is inevitable, so more needs to be done to increase the utilization of renewable energy. One of our main sources of energy is oil. There is only a finite amount though, and even though we only started using it around the 1900s, it will all be gone around 2100. This gives us time to learn more about renewable sources, but in the end the clock is ticking.…

    Hoover Dam Pros And Cons

    Continued apathy and negligence of of the environment is just not viable any longer. The only fossil fuel that is capable of lasting into the next century has the most concentrated, detrimental, and long term effects on the environment. Oil has some of the most horrific and immediate effects on wildlife when mishandled. Oil spills, while on the decline, produce abhorrent conditions that harm not just the wildlife present, but that ecosystem as a whole. Additionally, oil is the biggest player when it comes to fuel in the transportation sector, which is notorious for the greenhouse gas emission that arise from it. If those were not reason enough to make significant strides away from oil, oil is not projected to even make it into the second half of the century. Given this, and that we have the resources to pursue renewable energy, it is simply impractical to continue to maintain oil as a primary fuel source. Natural gas seems to me to be equally dangerous despite having the lowest emissions of the three because it is deceptively harmful. On the surface it burns clean but often methane gas leaks in transportation and even the enormous pool of issues that fracking leads to are too frequently overlooked. Again, irrespective of these, natural gas must be abandoned soon or we will exhaust natural gas reserves before oil is totally depleted. The solution to the fossil fuel problem lies in renewable and green energy. Solar energy is still young but it has enormous potential. Wind energy works very well but it can be a nuisance and an extreme hazard to airborne wildlife. Hydroelectric energy can be more widely implemented but the dams are liable to disrupt spawning patterns of some fish, particularly salmon. Nuclear energy is incredibly efficient but runs into social and economic barriers. After my research, I have come to the conclusion that the best solution…

    In figure 5, instead of throwing out used oil, in the image oil is poured out in the explosives. The oil is making the bombs active. Therefore, the message is clear that the left over oil that people may think that it won’t work anymore, and it is good enough to be thrown out, people must take it to the dealer instead where they can use it effectively. The message is mostly intended for women, seeing that they are the ones who cook.…

    The United States consumes more than 25% of the world’s petroleum products which is a large percentage, considering only 3% of the world’s oil reserves are produced by the United States. Given the demand for petroleum products such as gasoline, understanding why Crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, is not hard. According to the article “Ending America’s Oil Addiction,” the surge in crude oil prices can be reduced in large part to the simple concepts of supply and demand. (Cooper, 2008)…

    The leading producers of petroleum are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States; because 80% of this natural resource is found in the Middle East they have the majority of the control on the price of petroleum and being at war with the Middle East raises the price that Americans pay at the pump. In 2001, in the state of California, just before 9/11 the cost per gallon of gas was $0.89. Today we are seeing prices over $3 a gallon. This is an increase of 200% since we went to war. Petroleum is a fossil fuel that is a non-reusable resource. Once, the fossil fuel is gone there will be no more.…

    Fossil fuels do provide an inexpensive form of energy, but in contrast, they also pollute the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, thus contributing to climate change. Global warming is primarily due to increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the single most important source of this carbon dioxide is the combustion of fossil fuels” (Bostrom, Read, & Morgan, 2010). Oil is the energy source of our time. We refine the crude, extracted oil into different products like gasoline, jet-fuel, diesel and even plastics. Fossil fuels have promoted global commerce and are behind many of the greatest technological and social innovations of our day.…

    It is estimated that the world may have enough oil to year 2030 at current consumption, and enough natural gas to year 2060 if all known reserves were recoverable. Life will not continue as is until every last drop is gone. There continues to be small amounts of oil suspected as reserves around the world, but not in the quantities that will alter the clear shortages and competition for it. It is very unlikely that a child born after 2005 will ever need a driver license, and it is very likely that before 2020 many people around the world will be living without the benefits of oil and will lose the use of natural gas at the same time.…

    As an industrial superpower, oil is an extremely important factor in maintaining that status. The United States and the entire world depend on oil to run their machines and engines. The Middle East produces over 60% of the world's oil supply. Demands for this oil increases every year. The United States relies on the Middle East for about 14% of all oil needs, but that percentage keeps on growing. As disaster and lack of reserves damage our own oil reserves, the United States needs more options for obtaining oil. The Middle East is the cheapest to extract. We need to maintain a healthy relationship with these Middle Eastern nations to be able to use these oil reserves.…

    Should Oil Be Restricted?

    The use of oil should defiantly be heavily restricted and invested as sustainable energy. Not only for our sake but for the future generations all over the world. The following facts will support my idea that planning for a future without oil should be supported. These are: it would be much better if we slowly run out of oil, rather than having none all of a sudden, preparing for a world without oil is easily done, than frantically running out, and the impact of having no oil left on our stock market.…
