Petroleum

What are something that we use petroleum products for? Do we use them for too many of our items? What can we do to recycle and reduce our use to products?

We use it for shirts, fuels, plastics, and synthetic fabrics. Its also for grease and motor oil and asphalt. We could reduce the use of these products and use use less petroleum based products. YOu could use them made of cotton or use aluminum. We can make recycling centers for the plastic bottles and other items.

we use it for things like plastics, synthetic fabrics, fuels, grease, motor oil, asphalt, and some types of synthetic materials. I think we use it for too much stuff considering it is a non renewable resource because if we just used it for fuel, we may have more of it left because it isnt be processed into other things. To reduce it, we should recycle, or just not use it to make so much stuff. Keep it simple with fuel and plastics, and grease

We use petroleum fror shoes, shirts, and bottles. We can recycle petroleum by reusing shirts and recyclying shoes. We can alsp reuse petroleum by recycling bottles like 20liter bottles of pop.

Some things that petrolum do for us are that most of the petrolum based substances that are used int eh US go toward non fuel uses. There is also motor oil that petrolium is used in adn also in asphalt. Some plastics are even made out of petroleum. We do use petroleum for many of the materials that we have and use. WE can recycle and use renewable resources.

Petroleum is a highly flammable liquid formed by decayed ancient organisms, such as micrscopic plankton and algea. We burn it to produce energy, shoes, grease, motor oil, synthetic fabrics, and plastics. We can recycle plastics.

We use petroleum for a lot of things. We use it in our cars, plastic, and synthetic fabrics. We also use petroleum in asphault that we use to pave roads. I think that we do use too much petroleum. Petroleum is not a renewable resource and it polutes the earth. We could use hybrid cars, and recycle plastic bottles so that we dont run out of petroleum.

we use it for many different things like clothes, fuels,plastics, syntheic fabrics. WE could use less of them by using different types of them but with different products. And it is also a non-renewable resource.

We use petroleum for fuels, plastics, syntehtic fabrics, grease and motor oil, and asphalt. We do use them for a lot of items. We can recycle plastics and try not to use so many fuels. We can cut down on the amount of syntehtic fabrics. We can try not to use as much asphalt.

Petroleum is used in fuels, plastics, and snythetic fabric, grease and oil. We use to much we use Petroleum based products and need to recycle petrolem based products like plastic.

We use petroleum for things like plastic and oils. We also use them for things like grease and surfacing roads. We can reprocess the the things that we use like plastic is a really big one. I think that we can just reuse to cut back.

We use petroleum for products like plastics, syntheyic fabrics, and lubricants. The main use is for fuel, and we burn it for energy. We do use too much- millions of gallons of petroleum are pumped every day. If we recycle, we can reduce our amount of petroleum we need.

We obviously use Petroleum in things like in things like gas. But we also use them in plastics asphalt and synthetic fabrics. We could use less of these products by using cotton and other things. And try not to use as many plastics
