The oil industry and our global dependence on it have wrecked havoc on human health and the physical environment. The exploration, extraction, distribution and consumption of oil has destroyed natural habitats, affected animal and plant populations, thrown our oceans off balance, and eroded typically fertile agricultural land. In addition to the devastation caused to the physical environment, the consumption of oil causes staggering health problems, including cancer, asthma, and other lung diseases/conditions. The longer we wait to change our behavior and correct the harm we have caused through oil consumption, the greater the cost of reducing the impact on, and cleaning up, our health and environment.
