Gas will not make it last

In A Lost Woods by H.M. Tomlinson, Tomlinson writes about how the petrol and car engine companies were affecting the atmosphere by building roads on rural land. The author describes how certain crops are not able to grow due to the fact that the gas fumes are ruining the ecosystem and not only that but the fishes and other aquatic animals are being affected since sometimes the petrol gets into the water and disrupts the life under there. When this occurs the kingfishers aren’t able to feed their young, so not only are humans losing money due to the lack of fish dying but they are also losing food.

I agree with Tomlinson that the use of petrol and the power of oil companies are running down the world, slowly but surely. Humans use the transportation of cars, buses, and trains each day so gas fumes are constantly being emitted into the air which leads to pollution and many other issues. It is very clear that people do not watch over the earth as much as they should because there are alternatives to all of these issues but some are just lazy and ignorant. If we really wanted to solve the issue of petrol and oil companies being dominant, we could easily switch over to bikes and walking more to our locations. This solution would allow the amount of gas polluting the air to decrease, to more vegetation growing, and it could possibly solve obesity since people would be using their body to get places.

I also believe that it is time for citizens to stand up to these big companies to regain what is ours since big oil companies often exploit the land we live on until there’s nothing left for the citizens. Of course there are greater issues in the world such as racism but at the same time our land is dying due to human’s selfish needs, but if we can protest for racism and receive some change since the 1800’s, then we can make the same impact for our land and world.
