As human beings we love to have a convenient and technologically advanced lifestyle.
For most of us this is the reward for a lot of hard work in our lives.
However, in the laws of Mother Nature everything comes at a cost.
For instance, in the case of material goods they cost and consume the Earth's natural resources.
The common resources consumed include fossil fuels and energy but we also consume water and land that is used to produce food.
Fossil fuels provide the majority of energy that is used to power and heat our homes and businesses, fuel our vehicles, and manufacturer electronics and all other types of material goods.
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources meaning they will eventually expire and cannot be replenished.
Fossil fuels can be traced back to the remains of organisms that previously lived 300 to 400 million years ago.
These fuels are commonly found under the sea bed and they can include oil, natural gas, coal.
Fossil fuels are primarily composted of carbon and hydrogen.
Today when we extract these substances from the Earth we mostly use them for fuel products, such as propane, gas, heating oil and kerosene.
Uranium is another nonrenewable energy source.
It is used in nuclear power plants, which are proven to produce very few emissions.
However, these plants have other major environmental issues, especially in terms of their radioactive waste production.
Today, fossil fuel currently provides about 85 percent of the energy requirements for the United States.
But they are also responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
All of these particles can contribute and cause acid rain.
