Why I am doing this

Hello everyone - I have a blog! I was not even sure I really knew what a blog was until I made this, but obviously it was not to hard to set up I am learning how to use this tool as I go. I hope to do the same thing with the way I consume petroleum, learn as I go. Listed below in bullet format are the reasons that I have entered blogdom:

• I am very concerned about the immediate future of our country and the future of mankind as they relate to the dependance on petroleum and the useage of petroleum
  
• I do think that it is healthier to have a positive outlook and doing something proactive rather than preaching and believing in a doomsday scenario
• I feel like I am ignorant about the situation as are most people and would like to use this tool as a way to educate myself and to educate others
• I want to share ways that we can all reduce the amount of petroleum that we use and still maintain a healthy and comfortable life

On this blog I will try to be careful and aware about the statistical information that I post as well as any other articles, charts, videos etc. Once again, I am not trying to scare everyone, but I do believe we all need to be informed and be proactive. I am not living in a tent growing my own crops so I am far from being perfect in regards to petroleum usage, but once again, every little bit helps and we all have to be realistic as to how far we will actually go to help change things.
