CONSERVE OUR OIL
natural resources need to be saved
By: Adam Forrest
The Situation
The problems we have and reasons why we need to conserve our oil.
Way To Much Oil
America relies too much on oil. We have the highest use of oil in the world.
We use 52% of the world’s oil consumption.
Oil Consumption
USA
Russia
China
Japan
Rest of World
Not Just Gas
Oil is not just used to make gasoline. It is also used to make heating oil, jet fuel, propane, asphalt, and otherproducts.
These “otherproducts” actuallymake up a higher percentage of theoil we use thangasoline does.
Barrels and Barrels and Barrels, Oh My!
Americans import 10,031,000 barrels of crude oil a DAY!!
Of these 10,o31,ooo barrels of oil, we consume 9,286,000 barrels of motor gasoline a DAY!!
That’s about 390
million gallons of
gasoline a DAY!!
It Won’t Last Forever
Oil, like other
nonrenewable energy
resources, will eventually
run out.
It is imperative that we,
as a world, can find other
energy resources before the fateful day comes and we run out of oil.
The Very Last Drop
The Solution
The things we can all do to conserve our oil and support alternative energy resources.
Long Term Energy Goals
Could you imagine a world where renewable resources reign and oil is kicked to the curb?
It would be such a better place.
Less air pollution
More money
A better economy
A better Earth
The Easy Things
Conserving oil can be easy. You can conserve oil by simply putting a
sweatshirt on instead of turning up the heat.Or
Getting a ride from a friend instead of having our parents come and pick you up.
Or Y0u could walk or bike to school instead of
taking a car.
The Big Things
Converting to nonrenewable
resources is the best way to
conserve oil.
Solar, wind, geothermal,
biomass, hydroelectric… it doesn’t matter which one, they’re all better than oil.
Although they may be expensive, they will pay for themselves in the long-run.
You’re the Answer
Everyone has the right to cleaner air and to a cleaner Earth.
However in order to have clean air and a clean Earth, everyone needs to put their time and money into conserving oil and promoting renewable resources.
Time and money is all that is needed.
Donate
Take the extra time and walk to work or to the store.
Spend some extra money to install a wind turbine or a solar panel.
Donate some money to conservation organizations like the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE).
In a nut shell, turn this oil chugging country into a green energy powerhouse. It’s all up to
YOU!!
