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.
