Humankind is responsible for the massive use of fossil fuels which has changed the atmosphere and temperature of the planet. Toxins and plastic are an accumulating problem of the oceans, land and air, while technology is becoming our second if not our first nature.

The use of fossil fuels
Fossil Fuels play a vital role in our everyday life. We use fossil fuels in order to:
Heat our homes
Fuel cars, airplanes and other means of transportation
Make medicine
Make cosmetics
Make materials for clothes

Advantages Fossil fuels are easily accesible as they exist in
many parts of the world. More and more extractions are being made by the geologists in order to cover our needs in energy.

Fossil Fuels produce a large amount of energy as they are really combustible. We prefer them for devices and machines and they were always our first choice in factories.

Fossil Fuels have great stability as they are formed by molecules of carbon and hydrogen. This constitution makes them very stable.

Fossil Fuels are easily stored. Industries want a big amount of fossil fuels regularly so it is a big advantage they are stored and transported easily.

Disadvantages Fossil Fuels cause huge environmental
problems. The emission of carbon dioxide gas provokes global warming.

Certain countries controll the prices of fossil fuels and as a result we have high prices and often wars in the Middle-East.

The emission of fossil fuels cause acid rain. Sulphur dioxide is released ans as a result it destroys remarkable monuments which are from marble.

Fossil Fuels have a huge impact on our health.The gases provoke serious diseases such as lung cancer and asthma. Most vulnerable are the elderly and the children.

Fossil Fuels are not renewable. They will not be available forever and this will cause huge problems in the world.

Overconsumption has led to serious consequences. It is estimated that in 40-50 years fossil fuels will not be available causing huge problems and commotion in the world.
