How do you conserve petroleum?

Answer 1

There are a huge number of ways to conserve petroleum. This are just a few of the major ones.

• Don't leave lights on when you're not using them, or waste electricity in other ways. A fair portion of electricity is made by burning petroleum, so the less electricity we use, the more petroleum we save.
• Find ways to save gasoline. These can include walking or cycling, carpooling, or using public transportation. Electric and hybrid cars also save some petroleum (but remember, the electricity they use possibly had to come from a small amount of petroleum).
• Use products that are made, and foods that are grown and processed locally. Shipping foods and other goods uses up a tremendous amount of fuel. Also, certified organic food products don't use chemicals, whose production uses petroleum.
• Reduce the amount of packaging that you use by buying products with minimal packaging. This is because packaging is usually made of plastics (which are made of petroleum), and it requires energy (usually from petroleum or coal) to make packaging.

Answer 2

Making oil conservation a way of life is in truth a very feasible concept. The simplest way to do this is to cut down on your use of cars, bike, walk, roller blade, skateboard, or run to your destination. Not only does it conserve oil but it gives your exercise as well. Another way to make oil conservation is to choose materials other than plastic which uses crude oil for household items; you should also use cloth or paper bags instead of plastic bags when shopping. One very simple way to conserve oil is to use a push lawn mower as opposed to a gas using one that uses up oil in a way which is very easily avoidable. While we're on the topic of gardening studies show that chemical fertilizers use fossil fuels in the process of making the fertilizer. Therefore one way to not use oil is to use organic fertilizer which includes the basic household foods of fruit peels, bread crusts, and coffee grinds. I hope now that it is clear that making oil conservation a way of life is simple and that by doing even one of these suggestions you will be preserving one of the earth's most precious and diminishing commodities.

I am doing a paper on this and I found out that you can conserve oil by riding your bike to close places. That way you are not using the oil in your car. You can also pave your driveway with cement and not asphalt. Asphalt has oil in it but cement does not.

Try not to use it as much. Buy a hybrid car so you can save the oil and money too. Oil takes over 1,000 years to make.
