When I read the article "Squeezing More Oil From the Ground", it made me think of how much oil I use. Oil is in almost everything whether I like it or not, but when it comes to gasoline, I try to limit how much is being used. I like to carpool as much as possible. I also walk when I need to. Unfortunately, I don't have a bicycle at the moment or else I would ride that instead. I just think more people should be more aware of what they are doing to the environment. The oil that’s being drilled is very hazardous to our environment. Also, when reading the article, I had questions over how reliable it is. Yet, when watching the video Crude Awakening, it brought everything into perspective. It seems as if countries such as the Middle East and Venezuela may not be using the right techniques which makes it even more of an endangerment. I also couldn’t believe that a country like China doesn’t even seem to try to limit the damage they are doing to the environment. There is still so much coal being used. There was one father in the movie who was worried about life for his daughter, but it does not seem that many had that same viewpoint. In addition, it is a little, if not more nerve-wracking to think about what will happen when all the oil seems to have been sucked out of the ground. We just want to be greedy and take as much as possible of what we can get.
