Someone posted something at work the other day that really got me. It was statistics on the Bottled Water industry. In order to make enough of those plastic bottles for one year, they burn 1.5 Million barrels of oil[:@][:@]. That's just for bottled water, imagine adding all the soda/Gatorade/etc. into the mix. And they say it's us driving too much[>:]
They using a lesser "grade" of oil. Light sweet Crude is what we use for gas. SA and others have a pile of high sulfar content oil. The issue is our refineries can not refine it
