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 information about our goals and what we can do to
help you switch over to our daily solutions, visit our website, read
our site blog, and give us a call today: (+61) 1300 88 90 70.
