Oil

= OIL =

I'm Lucy and this is my page on my topic oil!
===I chose my exhibition topic to be oil becaus e I think it is really important that people are awear that the amount of oil is decreasing and that we need to fing a renewable energy source to replace it SOON! ===

===Environmental Stewardship is about managing the environment to improve it for the future. People need to find energy sources that are renewable and don’t pollute the air. For example, one non-renewable resource that we use a lot of is oil. Oil is running out and now needs to be drilled out of the ground so deeply that accidents are more likely to happen. Also, burning oil releases carbon dioxide into the air which is a gas that causes global warming. As the oil is rapidly depleting it is now up to humankind to find new environmentally friendly resources to replace plastic, fuels and more. ===

===Here are my three questions and answers: ===

===1) People use many different types of non-renewable energy sources. ===


 * ===Non-renewable energy sources are: Coal, Petroleum, Black Gold (crude oil), Natural Gas, Minerals, Wildlife, Nuclear energy, Uranium, Gold, silver and metals. ===


 * ===Non- renewable energy sources are nature resources that has a limited amount and cannot be produced in a large scale. They are also known as an exhaustible resource that takes thousands of years to form. ===


 * ===Non-renewable resources will eventually run out, unlike renewable resources, because things like wind, solar and geothermal power will always be available! ===


 * ===Fossil Fuels are non-renewable, but not all non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels. Fossil fuels: Coal, Petroleum, natural gas and propane. ===


 * ===Fossil fuels were formed from the remains of buried animals and plants from millions of years ago. ===


 * ===Basic non-renewable energy sources: Oil and petroleum products, Natural gas, Coal, Uranium (nuclear energy) ===


 * ===Non-renewable energy sources come out of the ground as solids, gases and liquids. ===

===2) By doing daily things and using renewable energy we can conserve our oil, so it doesn’t run out. ===


 * ===There are two types of energy sources: Non-renewable and renewable. Renewable energy sources, unlike non-renewable energy sources renewable energy won’t run out because it can be replenished. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A lot of the world functions on non-renewable natural energy sources which are going to run out eventually between 2028 - 2070 or even possibly 2036 - 2050, but they can be replaced by renewable energy sources. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finding a new renewable energy source is becoming very important because non-renewable energy sources are becoming expensive and scarce. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Humankind has used renewable energy sources for hundreds of years.Some examples are: : Wind energy, Solar energy, Grass, Trees, water (hydro power), Geothermal and Biomass. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Renewable energy has been generally more expensive to produce than fossil fuels in the past. Now though use and the production of renewable fuels has grown quicker in these recent years because of the increase in price for oil and natural gas. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For over a century the amount of oil that’s used has risen nonstop and people will have to use less oil because we face a double disaster! First, burning oil and fossil fuels is making the climate of the earth warmer. Second, the world could be running out of oil!! ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our dependence on oil can decrease by changing to alternative energy sources and many people think it is very important to find ways to use less oil. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ways we can save our oil: ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Bicycle riding or walking (instead of riding in a car) for short journeys. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Taking the train, tram or bus which uses less energy than cars. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Shopping locally! The food you buy has usually traveled thousands of miles to get to the supermarket, so instead of driving there to buy food that has been transported from far away we can save oil by shopping locally. Especially at farmer’s markets because their food has came directly from a nearby farm. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Save energy by turning down the heating, turning off unused lights and switching off TVs and computers instead of leaving them on. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Recycle our waste, so it can be reused. (this saves oil because plastic is mostly made of oil. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Reduce heat loss by making sure roofs, windows or other open areas cover the exits. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Finally, In the future more roofs could be green (covered in living plants and grasses) because this means less energy is used for air conditioning, central heating. Also these roofs keep the heat out in the summer and keeping it in during the winter. ===

===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3) We use oil for lots of different things. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Oil is not just an energy source, it’s also a natural material. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons which are processed together into substances called petrochemicals. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A lot of objects and materials are made from petrochemicals. For example: Plastics, perfumes and bed sheets. ===

They cling to dirt, loosen it and then it gets removed during washing. ===


 * ===<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: circle; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lots of beauty products, for example: lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, moisturizer and hair dye are a few, out of many beauty products that are based on petrochemicals. ===
