Save Fuel for Better Environment and Health
The energy sources which are termed as the ‘Fossil fuels’ are petroleum and coal. These are the treasures that were accumulated by Mother Earth through millions of years. But man advanced rapidly in his exploration of earth and its resources. His scientific knowledge and inventions taught him how to exploit these caches of energy sources.
Once he discovered them he began to use then prodigally. He knew that these resources are not easily renewable and they will be exhausted one day. But each generation of human beings turned a blind eye to the fact and continued to use them irresponsibly, depleting the hoard at an incredibly fast rate.
He also knew about the havoc the burning fossil fuel was creating on the environment. But once again, his selfishness and love for luxurious life made him neglect it. As a result, the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere increased to a dangerous level. The carbon dioxide and other similar gases accumulated and formed a cover over the earth, trapping the sun’s heat to create a phenomenon called ‘green house effect’. This increased the global temperature causing the extinction of many useful species of plankton, thus affecting the food chain. The sea level went up submerging the land.
At the same time these gases bore holes in the Ozone blanket that was protecting Earth and its inhabitants from the harmful ultra violet rays of sun. This causes many diseases like skin cancer.
In spite of knowing all these man still continued his tyranny over nature and its resources till recently. Presently, thanks to the efforts of many scientists we know the level of devastation that was brought about by man’s carelessness. Now that we know the facts, it is our duty to do something to negate the effects or at least prevent further disasters.
The fossil fuels are formed deep down the surface of earth through centuries of pressure and temperature exerted on the decayed bio matter. If we are not careful in extracting them they will naturally be over and it will take centuries to replenish the caches.
Environment is an essential part of our life. It includes surrounding water, air, trees, wildlife, birds, minerals etc. Quality of our life depends on the quality of our environment. Our health depends both on ourselves and our environment. We need a clean environment as we want to live healthy. So we need to save fuel.
Use Fuel Less, Us Earth will Bless !
