Essay on Conservation of Petroleum Products to young bright minds for Class 9
Petroleum products are the fossil fuels which are products of burial of carbon components such as trees and animal fossils under layers of soil. 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.
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 :
- GO FOR PUBLIC VEHICLES
Public transport reduces a lot of carbon emission in air as compared to private vehicles when used by so much of crowd. Public vehicles nowadays have started to use CNG (compressed natural gas) which produces negligible amount of pollution and considered an amazing fuel.
- USE EFFICIENT VEHICLES
Market is full of various vehicles to choose from, and when thinking of future we should always go for vehicles which have lead purifiers, high mileage and long life. When we choose vehicles with nice mileage, we are also choosing a healthy alternative for environment.
- RUN ON SPEED LIMITS
Speed limits are provided to make our drive more efficient depending upon the length, business of the road and many more factors. Speed limits have proven to increase the efficiency of fuel and reduce the consumption as well as reduce carbon emissions.
CONCLUSION
Conservation has always been a topic of nowadays so as to provide sufficient resources to future generations as well. 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.
