Burning Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels can include a wide
variety of components, including
wood products, mineral products,
petroleum products, and even
refined mineral materials. You see,
fossil fuels have to do with the
burning
of
“fossilized”
raw
materials, which can be anything
from raw, dry wood to parts of the
petroleum category.
In William Bryant Logan’s book, Air,
he discusses how the burning of
fossil fuels has created an
atmospheric
condition
where,
instead of rain and clouds and
evaporation all occurring in small quantities throughout the year, the burning of fossil
fuels messes this process up. In this book, Logan describes how fossil fuel burning
releases agents into the atmosphere which actually, temporarily, hold off rain for some
time. Then, when rain finally comes, it comes as a huge, giant thunderstorm which
erupts over the land, causing lots of damage and washing out locations which have been
desert dry in between these highly infrequent rain showers.
The point is that burning fossil fuels actually prevents steady, frequent small rain
showers, and results in prolonged, violent thunderstorms which come by only every once
in a while. This means that it is necessary to keep your emissions fairly low, and that
includes all types of emissions which you may be putting out. For example, burning wood
in your fireplace contributes to this, but so does burning petrol in your car. The end
result of all of this is that we need to be able to burn fossil fuels, but only in
environments where the air is more normalized by the surrounding vegetation which,
incidentally, tends to encourage smaller, frequent rain showers.
Marine glass cleaner, radiator coolant, and glue remover are all chemicals which, in the
past, have contributed to this unnatural weather process. However, Envirosafe Solutions
brings you all of these chemical solutions and many more through our environmentally
friendly liquids. For example, we provide solvent free degreaser, as well as fabric
conditioner, both of which are eco friendly and good for the planet. For more
