Want to live without petroleum? Get ready.
Want to live without petroleum? Get ready.
Your clothes will be made from:
cotton
wool
linen
silk
leather
wood
(You could even pound tree bark for a fabric)
No plastic buttons
No elastic to hold up your underwear and socks.
No zippers. (They could be made without petroleum products, but not near as many as are around today.
Virtually no makeup except truly organic
Probably no pushups or underwire.
No asphalt for roads
Reduced numbers of engines, very few lubricants are non-petroleum derived.
No tires for your horse drawn buggy
no plastics (you’d be surprised how much we depend on plastics alone)
Forest products will become very important in every life world wide.
Back to waxed paper and brown paper bags in the kitchen.
No bunker oil fired power plants. (What percentage of the grid?)
no PCs, iPhones, electronic plug in boards, no TVs,
no modern transportation. Bicycles without tires using organic lubricants.
No modern fishing nets (good & bad).
Farming to be done with mules and elbow grease.
No modern transportation. This factor will have devastating effect on the availability of food and everyday goods that we take for granted, even if they are still available.
