Exploration 8: Naman Patel

The Blog i chose to do is A Little Lesson on Gasoline. In the blog it show who the gasoline can affect us in the long run. In the blog he didn't do much talking but the video he posted pretty much explained on how gasoline can affect us in the long run. The average US driver only cares about the price of the gas, but in the real world that gas price can add up in the long run and can hurt the environment. The less we pay on bass right the worst we will be in the future. The average cost of gasoline in the US is about 3 to 4 dollars, but the experts say that the real cost of the gasoline is much more because of all the population that the gasoline creates. American drivers use an average of 557 gallons go gasoline per year. A single driver creates about 10,000 lb. of green house gases per year, and it  that can kill a lot of plants and trees in the forest, and that only one driver imagine the whole US. The pollution begins as soon as it is pumped up from the ground, and when it comes up it reales gases, that then is pumped in the the ships, and when it is being pumped some of the gases are released, then it transfer to the trucks and more gases are released, and then the trucks transfer it to the gas station and more gases are released and this happen almost everyday. One of the deadly gas that is being released when all of this happen is Benzene, Benzene is really bad for you health, and thats what you smell when you pull into the gas station. When the gas evaporates more and more gases are being released. this process happens everyday. the amount of population you create depends on the type of car you drive. The quote that i liked was "I think of the cheap gas we have here in the US as a guilty pleasure. It is great for me personally that it costs virtually nothing to fuel a car." this shows that the price of gas is really nothing right not but in the long run it will up and affect us. The population will get worse, and so will our health.

I think that this blog post was good because it shows us how the gas can and will affect us in the long run. we can make the environment better if we use fuel efficient cars. The thing with the fuel with the fuel efficient cars is that they cost more and there aren't many places you can charge your car. The can make an affect the environment by one car at a time. Getting a fuel efficient car your only improving your health, and saving money, and also helping out the environment a little bit. It is doable if people are able to make the effort.

  1. Thats crazy when you said an average driver you said 557 gallons of gas a year. Also when you said "A single driver creates about 10,000 lb. of green house gases per year, and it that can kill a lot of plants and trees in the forest, and that only one driver imagine the whole US."

  2. This article has made me a much more conscious of the environment. I think that it is terrible that a single diver can produce 10,000 lbs. of green house gases per year.

  3. The fact that a single driver produces over 10,000 pounds of greenhouse gas a year is unbelievable. Additionally, the price of gas is tremendously high, and rising. Fuel efficient cars would be more efficient for drivers.

  4. I really enjoyed reading your blog. It is eye opening to find out how much gasoline we use in a year. We need to think more about the environment and find different alternatives to get around. "One of the deadly gas that is being released when all of this happen is Benzene, Benzene is really bad for you health, and thats what you smell when you pull into the gas station." I was never aware of benzene and its harmful effects. Great Job!
