Question from Akane.

I want to thank my friend Akane for sending me my first question.
He has his own blog. Check it out!

Hello its your buddy Akane I saw your blog and do you think we should
use fossil fuels?

Of course we should not really use fossil fuel but, sadly we have to right now. In many parts of the United States we not only use it in our cars, we heat our homes with it.
The answer is that we need to somehow use less. How do we do that? Well, the next time you are in the market for a car- get a hybrid. When it is time to replace your home's heater- get one that doesn't need oil. Until then, drive less. You can do this by grouping your errands, getting stuff on your way home form work (since you are already there), walk, car pool, and/or take public trans. Also take car of your car and check the tire pressure. If your tire pressure is low, you are leaking fluids, or your car is not running right: you car is not as efficient as it could be and you are polluting more because of this.
When heating you home lower the temp as much as you can stand it and where more clothes, put a blanket on the couch, and an extra one or two on you bed.
We should make it a daily priority to use as little fossil fuel as we can. We can start today and work hard at a nation that is not dependent on fossil fuel!

Thanks again Akane!
