Drilling: ◦ Digs into earth to get the oil. ◦ The OIL that is used to run the machine creates air pollution. Extraction: ◦ Air pollution can be caused by the oil escaping during extraction. Off shore drilling: ◦ Occurs 200+ miles off coastline FRAC-ing (alternative to drilling): ◦ Used in PA and NY where companies can drill into underground rock layers where the oil or gas is trapped.
Oil Spills: water/ocean pollution Air pollution: carbon dioxide/sulfur Mining: dirt pollution Drilling: dirt pollution Transporting: (oil spills) water/ ocean pollution Burning: air pollution Factoring: air/ water/ dirt pollution
If we were not to extract the oil, we wouldn’t have medicine, no means of transportation and no plastic! No roads, glue, boats, tires, plastic bags WAR! Petro-dictators OIL USIRAQ
Industries, such as BP, are trying to clean up the oil spill by funding volunteers to clean up the oceans and beaches that have been affected. Government is trying to put a limit on how much oil can be shipped at once. More companies are constructing more eco-friendly buildings.
