What I learned from an oil crisis


One of the main things that I learned from the oil crisis was that a lot of people depend on oil. Most of the people use their car for transportation and if there is no oil available then the people are not going to be able to use their cars. Some of the personal things that I and my community had to do due to this oil crisis was use our car less than what we normally use. We also had to eat and cook foods that don’t use oil or that use a little of oil in order to save the more oil than we can. Our government had to close most of the biggest companies because they used too much oil and we had to save that oil. One of the things that I could do more in an oil crisis is recycle more to not cause more pollution to this world. I can also donate things like cloth or some utilities that others might need that I don’t use no more. I wouldn’t like to back to the days were we had to use the less oil than we needed because we had it to limit ourselves on what transportation to use and what kinds of foods to eat.

My Family Member Resting Underwater


The oil spill really affected me in my life for the reason that I lost my only son in this incident. Mu son was like my life because now I have lost everything that I loved in this world. I lost my wife and now my son who I don’t know were his body is located at. All I know is down in the water all mixed with oil. I don’t have the opportunity to go to the cemetery and take him his flowers and pray for him. I have to go to the ocean and think that he is resting under water and not resting in peace. This could also affect many other families that lost their loved ones in this accident because this people like me are going to suffer the death of their loved one and the reason that they don’t know were is the body of their loved one. This oil spill could affect all the entire world in the way that many people are not going to be able to be fishing, their water is going to be contaminated. This could affect us ion what we eat because all the seafood that we eat like shrimp and fish are going to be contaminated and death. Many of us the people might loose our jobs and as well as me people are going to feel lonely and depressed and they are going to use alcoholism.

How increasing the prices AFFECT the Community





Oil shortage is affecting a lot of people around in my community. The tortas restaurant across my street has closed because they don't have any oil to be selling their food. Less people had consumed from their food because the prices of the tortas went too high. The tortas used to cost $4.00 and now they cost the double which is $8.00. The gas station around the corner of my house also closed because less people were using gas for their cars because now most of the people walk more or use their bikes, scooters, and their skateboards. Some of the things that I have to do to become self sustainable is not going out too much when I don’t need to not waste oil. I am also eating more foods that don’t need oil for example salads, more vegetables, beans and more to save the most oil that I can. Some of the things that I have been doing to get from one place to another are by walking, using my bike, scooter or sometimes the bus which is also more expensive. The role that elasticity because many of the people around the area that I live in are saying that now to eat a torta is like wasting an hour that you work in the week. Many of the people are no longer buying tortas because they are too expensive and they can’t afford to buy for all their families.
