Curb Fossile Fuel Use

From Wikipedia…

Decreasing our use of plastics and concentrating household cleaners with more material per bottle will also reduce the number of trucks on the road. As a result, this environmental strategy will reduce the amount of pollutants and fossil fuels used. Fossil fuels are also used to make plastic; which draws a double-edged sword on the environment considering that more fossil fuels are being used than being found anymore. The world’s supply of fossil fuels will run out by the year 2080 if the usage of fossil fuels are not either reduced or stopped. Our society will not necessarily fall back into the Stone Age or into World War III due to the lack of oil in the world; coal will supply the world’s electricity for hundreds of years more before we need to be totally dependent on wind, solar, and nuclear fusion energy sources. Nanotechnology simply will bypass the use of fossil fuels and focus on making renewable energy more efficient and affordable to the people. Should the use of plastics still be necessary after the oil reserves run out, the new ingredient to make them would most likely be fructose. Usage of plastics will be banned in bottled soft drinks and water after the harmful side effects have been known by all doctors.

Fossil fuels will eventually become obsolete even with fewer trucks on the road shipping plastic products to retailers and wholesalers. The only negative point with decreasing the number of trucks is reducing the number of jobs slightly. While it is a difficult move to make in an economic recession, it is a logical strategy to make in the interest of the environment. Fossil fuels will be ultimately replaced by renewable fuels like solar that don’t rely on fossil fuels in order to maintain their sustainability. As technology improves and sources of fossil fuels start to run out of natural resources, solar power becomes more cost efficient. This is because companies will eventually seek alternative sources of power in order to escape extremely high price of oil that the companies will be forced to charge in the future. Just 0.3% of the nearly infinite amount of solar energy will be needed to power everything in the future. Solar panels created through nanocomposite materials will be more efficient at gathering the needed sunlight than solar panels created through conventional materials.
