~*~::{Reading Blog #35: Change}::~*~

This week we had to write about change. I thought, what a way to talk about change than to just start talking about the global warming and pollution. All this gets turned back to petroleum oil and non renewable resources like gas, so the change I'll elaborate on is the change from old to new...too much consumption of gas to going green. The United States are the #1 consumer of gas, using almost three times as much as the second largest consumer, China. The use of petroleum gas is also giving effects to the Greenhouse Effect which is depleting the ozone layer, which is making the world hotter melting the polar ice caps killing the polar bears, which are freaking adorable. If we were to switch to using completely green ethanol fuel, it would cut down massively on depleting the ozone layer. Also, unlike petroleum fossil fuels, ethanol is not known to be a cancer causing agent which means that it would be a lot healthier for the people that smell it in the air. Also, most ethanol comes from vegetable oil, so your car would smell like french fries and such. That would be so delicious…that of course is if you used vegetable oil as opposed to ethanol. Basically, if we change from using petroleum to using other green natural devices, the endangered animals would live better and so would we, and we would live on the planet causing a lot less of a negative impact.
