Petroleum is a non-renewable resource which means that once it is used up it cannot be replaced or used again. So it cannot be recycled, but it can be conserved and saved.

There are various methods which can be taken against the exhaustion of petroleum:

1. reducing the usage of private transportation ..and prefer public transportation

2. using petroleum in limit not excessively

3. don't let your engine idle when you have stopped your car

4. while driving minimize the use of breaks

5. don't be a fan of Michael schumacher .. drive your car at a constant speed

You can add more to the list.

What are some common plastic objects that can be recycled?

Bottles can be recycled, but they can only go through recycling only once. Styrofoam can be recycled, but now some are produced with a different quality plastic that is bio-officiant. That means that if the Styrofoam is placed under water and soaked, it will break down and disappear. Plastic Bags, for example, can not be recycled because of the polyethylene and petroleum in the plastic. So that means it will take hundreds of years for a plastic bag to decompose and recycle!
