We Found Oil. YAY!

Our dependency in oil is CRAZY. We depend so much in oil; all of our products contain oil. We went from gas prices increasing so high, having a shortage of water, to not have fresh meat and at risk from getting laid off. It seems as everything is going back to normal gas prices are the going down, markets have more products, and my work schedule is going back to normal. Now since everything is going back to normal we do not want anything crazy like to happen again. Recently I started taking public transportation that way I could limit the amount of oil dependency, I also started using canvas bags for my shopping instead of plastics bags. Did you know how many barrels are used to make plastic bags? An estimate of 12 million barrels of oil is used annually to make plastic bags, and about 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are use worldwide every year. Can you imaging that. Did you ever stop to think about that it’s like OMG! Less learned we do not want another oil crisis AGAIN its horrible. I am going to reuse, reduce, and Recycle. You should too I cannot afford another crisis like this.

Gulf Spill Could Hit Your Wallet

OMG! did you guys hear about the gulf spill, it is affecting everyone. The products I need to ship are going to be delayed. The oil spilled is ruining my plans. Now I have to change the route to get to our destination. For safety reasons we had to change the route, ugh right now I don't care even about safety I just want to get through all of this and have all employees’ ship their products. Areas have been closed so by going around the oil spill it is causing delays and I will have to raise the prices because it’s going to be more costly to ship the products. This also means the products that we are shipping (Wheat, grain, fruit, coffee, corn, soy beans, and shrimp) their prices will increase. Everyone will be affected; even I am at risk to lose my job because since we are not shipping many products they don't need another supervisor. I just hope they fix the oil spill because I cannot afford to lose my job especially now that all prices are increasing. =/

Stores shuting downon us

OMG there is a Vons that closed down because they were not able to provide the community with food products. This oil crisis has been jeopardizing my community because the trucks are not able to travel so far. There is an oil shortage and gas prices have been increasing. Now in that same place where Vons was now there is a Fresh and Easy, this store provides fresh products that they produce on their own and they do not need trucks to deliver their food products. For that reason the store does not have a variety of products, it’s like the supply and demand theory, since were limited with products they fluctuate the prices of the products. This is chaotic! Recently I found out that factories have also been shut down because their machinery utilizes so much oil. Many people have lost their jobs because of these shut downs, so it’s not just affecting the businesses but also families. I have observed many businesses shut down, people losing their jobs, many food products running out, etc. I try to do my part by using fewer products that contain oil for example, when ever I go to a grocery store I take my reusable bags instead of using the plastic bags they give out. I try to reuse as much things as possible, and I am limiting my wants if I don’t need it. Yesterday I went to the dentist instead of driving there I decided to take the bus since it was close by. People should start using public transportation instead of driving to where ever you need to go. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE this oil crisis IS SERIOUS. Products that contain a lot of oil are highly increasing in prices compare to the products that do not contain oil, which are cheaper. Many people are replacing their products that contain less oil because they are cheaper and have the same purpose.

Food supply and water are running out!!!

I'm so thirsty! I ran out of water, I went to the store to buy water but as I was walking down the aisle I notice that the shelves were empty. I went ahead and asked the clerk where do they have the water and she said “we are out of water, they haven't sent any deliveries for water". I went back home and started researching why there is no water for us, I thought to myself could there be a shortage in water? As I was researching, I found out that the oil shortage is affecting us because gas prices are rising. The company doesn't want to pay gas for the trucks to deliver water to Los Angeles markets. The water is sent from Greenwich to Los Angeles; that is 2,476 miles they have to travel to supply us with water. It’s just crazy! We need water to keep living, now where in the world would I get WATER!!!?? Imagine this is just water right now, what’s next? MEAT? Our closest Farmers Market is in Santa Monica. For fresh meat I shop at Ralphs, Fresh and Easy, and Vons because it’s one of the closest markets that has fresh meat. Will they stop providing us with fresh meat; will I need to go all the way to Santa Monica to buy my red juicy meat? I do not want to eat frozen meat that has been in the cooler for days. Ugh! What has California come to! California depends on other states to deliver our food products, but now since gas prices are increasing dramatically will we continue to have food products delivered? For example I love fresh meat and it is healthier, if gas prices continue to increase we will not have any fresh meat to enjoy?

Gas prices keep rising

I have been noticing that gas prices keep rising every week little by little. The oil shortage is already taking effect. There is not enough oil. How many gallons of gas do we use in a day? Imagine every person in California uses at lease 1 1/2 gallons a day, now imagine worldwide. Every week I use about eight gallons in total. We need to find a solution, for example I just started using public transportation, and another option could be bicycling to work or school, there could be a couple of solutions to this problem, but will it stop the gas prices from rising, because i cannot afford it anymore. If people were to start using one of these solutions everyone will benefit from it starting oil crisis and the economy down to every ones well being. Three weeks go gas was $2.95 per gallon now its $3.45 per gallon that is RIDICULOUS. I had to limit my wants and some needs because of these crazy prices of gas. So recently i decided to take pubic transportation to school. It saves me money and i help the oil crisis from worsening.

Who Gets the Oil?

Today I read about supply and demand. Our country has an oil shortage, there are other country that have oil and the US need to purchase that oil. In these case the country that has the oil, will supply us with oil and the US will need to have the ability and money to buy the oil which will be the demand. I use to think that the country that have money will be one of the first to purchase the oil and the richest people in the country will be the ones with the advantage to use it the product that use oil, but i was wrong.

Uses of Oil

Today I read an article and found out there is an oil shortage. It gave a list of things that are affected and as I was reading down the list I realized that many things that are being jeopardized are our personal utilities. Our world is relying on oil and it’s running out; we need to find a solution to this problem soon before it’s too late. What will the world do without these utilities such as medicine, soap, clothing, shoes, shampoo, etc..??Everyone will get sick, go in to depression, and maybe go crazy. I cannot afford to lose my family if this were to happen.
