We use fossil fuels such as coal, wood, natural gas, Petroleum and its derivatives like petrol, diesel, LPG, kerosene etc. Since the days of Industrial revolution, there has been a rapid growth and development in the entire globe. The machines in industries, transport vehicles and domestic appliances all use fossil fuels. Even though the world adopted electricity as a source of energy, we still need fossil fuels to produce electricity.
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 is dependent both on ourselves and our environment. We need a clean environment to live healthy.
Last four decades have seen tremendous growth in electric and electronic gadgets and appliances causing the demand for energy to go skyrocketing. Combustion of fossil fuels results in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that have negative impact on environment and health. Overuse of fuels have initiated a breakdown of our ecosystem balance.
As a consequence air we breathe is polluted with CO2, soot particles and harmful gases. A large number of people suffer from respiratory diseases. The local temperatures have risen. Climatic balance is broken. Global warming is causing icebergs at the Poles and ice caps on mountain peaks to melt at a faster rate.
Greenhouse gases (fluorocarbons) are depleting the Ozone layer faster than ever before. Ozone layer shields us from harmful Ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. The holes in Ozone layer mean sunburns and skin cancer from exposure to UV rays.
Many species of birds and oceanic creatures are getting extinct. Animals too suffer from pollution. The balance in Biodiversity has become an issue. Imbalance in food-chain results in Earth's ecosystem imbalance.
To live we eat food, drink water and breathe air. If they are contaminated, then certainly our health is affected. Comparing in our minds strolling happily on a path in a village and along a busy city road. Certainly we would want a peaceful and clean environment for a morning walk to the park nearby.
The fraction of production to consumption of any fuel processed or produced better be an improper one for the betterment in sustainability of the environment and surroundings . Further Elucidation would take a far better introspection of which a brief quota is explained in the following lines. Fuels are produced by the processing of natural elements like wood and charcoal . Petroleum is called so because Petra means rock and the fuel is derived from the aforesaid. Modern day automotive technologies cannot be thought of without the sole contribution of petrol and diesel to make them function properly. If the expenditure of these fuels increases as it has been in the few recent decades then it wouldn't take long for these resources to face a catastrophic depletion . We won't even have the time neither the know of what to use as a secondary backup after these so called fossil fuels. So there has to be a proper strategic focus on the renewable resources as well for us to thrive better and until then it's quite obvious for us to save these expendable resources evaluating them by their proper value.
