So, our groups topic is oil. When first thinking of oil, one probably thinks of transportations uses. However, since we need more for our argument, here are a few more uses.
-oil in the plastic on bandages and petrochemicals go into the cloth of a bandage
-the plastics used to make compact discs
-synthetic fiber rugs made from petrochemicals
-plastic bottles (made of polyester)
-oil-based paints(dry quickly/need less layers/costs less over time)
-oil as a preservative in canned goods
-petroleum is prevalent in plant fertilizers(we need a lot of food and this gets it to us faster)
-Sneakers (the outside covering and soles)
-Synthetic rubber for car tires(safer to drive on)
-toothbrushes (the plastic and synthetic fiber hairs)
-nylon and polyester
