Many ways.

To use less gasoline, which comes from oil you can: a) Use mass transit, b) buy a fuel efficient car c) carpool to work and d) if you live close enough to work, walk or ride a bicycle.

You can use less electricity, which in many cases is generated using steam generators fueled by oil, by a) using less air conditioning or heat b) using the dryer less (hang clothes outside to dry) and c) add insulation or thermal pane windows to your house. Replacing your light bulbs with the new, electricity efficient ones also helps.

Turning televisions and computers off (I'm guilty) are other ways of conserving electricity.

Some houses use solar panels to reduce their energy use.

You may find many more ideas by searching the internet with subjects like energy conservation.

What two elements make up crude oil?

How do they make crude oil?

Crude oil is formed over millions of years when organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, are buried deep underground and subjected to heat and pressure. This process, known as diagenesis, transforms the organic material into hydrocarbons, which make up crude oil. The oil can then be extracted from underground reservoirs using drilling techniques.


Why is heavy crude oil cheaper then light crude oil?

Heavy crude oil is typically cheaper than light crude oil because it requires more processing to remove impurities and make it usable. This additional processing increases the overall cost of production, which is then reflected in the price of heavy crude oil compared to light crude oil. Additionally, heavy crude oil tends to have higher sulphur content, which can further increase the cost of refining.


Is crude oil used to make fibers?

No, crude oil is not directly used to make fibers. Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon are made from petrochemicals derived from crude oil through a series of chemical processes. The crude oil serves as a source of the raw materials needed to produce synthetic fibers.


Is it better to make ethanol from crude oil or sugar cane?

It is generally considered more sustainable to make ethanol from sugar cane than from crude oil. Sugar cane is a renewable resource that can be grown and harvested, whereas crude oil is a finite resource that requires extensive drilling and refining processes. Additionally, sugar cane ethanol typically has a lower carbon footprint compared to ethanol from crude oil.
