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.
