my problem with the END the Era of hydrocarbons.
plastics. everyone seems to forget that part.
your phone... your clothes. your car. your medical equipment.. your furniture...your computers...LED diodes... all your equipment has plastic. ALL of it is Hydrocarbons. the lists while Not endless is freaking huge and we have ZERO replacements for hydrocarbons in 99% of it.
the future of oil is still quite firm.
The only problem is that the use of materials that affect the environment such as plastic continues to increase, no matter how much we recycle, reduce and reuse if companies continue to produce heavy plastic ware, it will definitely be useless . But if all the different countries talk about this problem, it can definitely be solved, especially if the ban on anything that damages the nature can be enacted.

Really - the negative impact of the massive use of plastic, especially for domestic purposes. And most likely, alternative solutions will be found. What will it be ? It can be a replacement from natural components, such as derivatives of flora. Or materials that, though mostly composed of hydrocarbons, are easily recyclable or degradable. The insane use of plastic is a really huge problem. At home, we probably refused by 95%, all bags are now either made of paper or starch-based materials (tactilely a very pleasant replacement for household plastic bags), disposable tableware - paper or recycling, and so on. Plastic bottles are perhaps the biggest problem. We try to buy in glass, and we collect plastic ones separately and give them for recycling.
