Hey everyone!
Today, I’m going to talk about something that’s super connected to our daily lives—”oil”!
Did you know that so many things we use every day are possible because of oil?
Let me explain in an easy-to-understand way, with specific examples of how oil supports us! Ready? Let’s go!
1. Oil is the Hero of Energy
First of all, the most obvious way oil supports us is through energy!
For example, the gasoline you put in your car at the gas station, the diesel that buses and trucks need to run, and even the kerosene used for heating homes—all of these are made from oil!
Everyday commuting, going shopping by car or bus, and even trucks delivering goods to stores—all of this is powered by oil. Isn’t that amazing?
If we didn’t have oil…
What? Bicycles? Walking everywhere?! That kind of life would be way too tough!
And if transportation stopped, the shelves at supermarkets might run out of food and daily necessities!
For example, the bread and fresh vegetables we eat every day are transported from far away by trucks, ships, or planes. Without oil, our lives just wouldn’t function!
2. So Many Things Are Made from Oil!
Oil isn’t just for energy!
In fact, many products around us are made from oil.
For example, smartphone and computer parts, TV sets, plastic bottles, plastic bags, food packaging—they’re all made from plastics that come from oil!
Even more familiar examples include refrigerators, washing machines, and microwave parts—all of these use plastics made from oil!
And that’s not all! Sports equipment, bicycle parts, and even car components are made from materials derived from oil!
Even the ballpoint pen you use and the shampoo bottles—amazing, right?
And get this!
Oil plays a huge role in the medical field too!
For instance, disposable syringes, blood transfusion bags, and IV tubes—all the tools used in hospitals are made from plastic, which is derived from oil!
Without oil, we wouldn’t be able to make the tools needed to keep everyone healthy…
3. Oil Is Used in Clothes Too♪
Next up is fashion!
Yes, oil is used in clothes too!
Especially synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon—they’re actually made from oil.
Light and durable clothes, such as sportswear, outdoor gear, jackets, and raincoats, mostly wouldn’t exist without oil!
For example, polyester jackets, nylon sports shoes, and even bags—our fashion and sports life are supported by oil too!
4. Transportation and Logistics Are Powered by Oil♪
On top of that, oil is essential for our transportation and logistics!
Cars, motorcycles, airplanes, ships, and even trains—they all run on fuel derived from oil!
Overseas vacations by plane and packages ordered online that get delivered to your house—they all depend on the hard work of planes, ships, and trucks, and behind all of that is the power of oil!
If transportation stopped, the products you ordered might not get delivered!?
For example, the food you buy at the supermarket is transported by truck, and many items require planes and ships, so without oil, we’d be in trouble!
5. We Need to Consider the Environmental Impact Too!
But, while oil is convenient, we also have to think about its impact on the environment.
Burning oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes to global warming (according to some theories).
Also, if oil leaks into the sea during extraction or transportation, it can cause a huge environmental disaster!
It can harm marine life and the environment, so we need to be careful.
That’s why there’s a growing movement to use renewable energy sources, such as solar power, wind power, and geothermal energy!
However, we still rely heavily on oil, so we all need to think carefully about how to use it!
Oil Is So Important!
As we’ve seen, oil plays a super important role in our lives!
From energy to everyday products, medical care, fashion, and transportation—our rich, convenient lifestyle is all thanks to oil!
Driving cars with gasoline, using plastic products, wearing polyester clothes—our everyday life is entirely supported by oil!
But we also need to think about the environment and use oil wisely while keeping sustainability in mind!
Let’s all be conscious of it, okay?
How do you feel? Now you know just how important oil is, right?
