For most of his time on earth man has been a minor consumer of the earth’s stores of energy. With the discovery of fire man began to increase his demands and draw on the short-term energy stores that had been accumulated over scores of years or even centuries by woody plants. We have seen a massive change in the last hundred years. With the invention of the internal combustion engine and a huge increase in population man has begun to tap the planets long-term energy supplies of oil and natural gas at an alarming rate.
We have shaped a world where our lifestyles revolve around and are dependent on oil and the consumption of energy from fossil fuels. When people think about how much they impact the planet they must consider all the energy the government and other entities expend on their behalf. The article below delves deeper into how we should look at our individual footprint and the impact we have on the environment, most likely it is far larger than we want to admit.
