Essay on Conservation of Petroleum Products to young bright minds for Class 8
Petrol is a naturally occurring product used in vehicles to run them such as trucks, cars, motorcycles and many more. These products are also called as energy packets which are running the whole transport business. High pressure and temperature convert carbon material into fuel such as trees convert to diesel and fossils and remains of animals and humans convert to petroleum. Petrol is extracted via destructive distillation of crude oil at high temperatures in which kerosene, petroleum jelly and many other products are also formed.
BODY
Petroleum is a yellow colored liquid which does not freeze at any temperature and that is why used in vehicles at very cold places too. Talking about development of any country or any state, petrol and other resources are considered as an asset to take measures at. Petrol conservation is one of the most discussed topics among the youth and state affairs as it reflects the mindset of any state towards sustainable development and conservative nature. Burning of petrol also produces a lot of carbon dioxide and other gaseous particles which pollute the environment.
Conservation should not be an option when we already know that it is on the verge of extinction. We as good citizens should actually learn how to sustainably use petrol and petroleum products so as to save the environment as well. We need to conserve for the future generation to let them know what petroleum looked like as the quantity available on earth right now is threatening and very low. The production has decreased due to low quantities available in the soil layers. It takes millions of years for the formation and thus by the rate we humans are using the products, it might go extinct in some years only. Sustainable development means using the resources within limits so the next generation gets to use the same resource without any fail. Petrol conservation can be done by various methods, some of the methods are mentioned below which can be taken in consideration :
- USE CYCLE WHEN DISTANCE IS SHORT
It is not mandatory to use car or motorcycle even if the distance is walkable or cycle can cover it too. Cycle technically uses zero fuel and can be a healthy alternative to car and bike.
- DO NOT USE VERY OLD VEHICLES
Old vehicles are tarnished and used and that is why consumes a lot of fuel to run. They also produce a lot of smoke which pollutes the air and can harm health of people directly and indirectly both.
- USE CNG AT THE PLACE OF PETROL
CNG is a clearer fuel as compared to petrol and comparatively produces more energy and less pollution. It can be used in heavy vehicles, cars and vans which can reduce a lot of smoke from the air.
CONCLUSION
It takes a lot of time for the process of conversion of fossil to convert to petrol and thus we should be careful while using it. With growing population day by day, we can surely say that by the rate we are moving and using all the natural resources, the earth will be depleted of it in few years. So as to conserve it, we all have to come together and work towards conserving via methods mentioned above. We can do it if everybody pledges to do their bit of work.
Work together to bring change and save our planet from pollution and depletion of natural resources.
