Our earth is responsible for more of the practical aspects of our lives, as we know it, than we are even aware of. We make our way through our days and feel inconvenienced when we are not comfortable in our modes of transportation or in how we feel while we sleep. These issues can be attributed to the use of fossil fuels. Demonstrative of the resources that we take for granted, heating oil and gas are utilized and both exported and imported throughout the world to ensure our productivity. When we think about the evolution of our world, we often overlook the antiquity of our predecessors.

Fossil fuels evolved from the depth of materialization. The plant and animal remains went through a process of catagenesis, that resulted in the fossil fuels being liquidized and becoming gaseous. In our modern world, we are nothing without the effects brought about by this process.  They withstood undesirable conditions to develop into the very resources we need to live our lives. The decomposition of the original materials that resulted in coal, petroleum and other resources we use on a daily basis to make our world run with power and energy allow us to conduct our live effectively. They contribute to the overall productivity related to political and economic growth and competition.

We consume a large amount of fossil fuel production and this has alienated the environmental initiatives that seek to better our lives and those of future generations. We function solely on the idea that our resources will be an endless entity and yet they deplete by the day and we engage in a cyclical pattern of using and re-using with unjustified expectations that the resources will be there tomorrow. The trajectory of our actions may point to a world in which we have little to rely on to go about our business effectively.
