Out of Gas: Using Up Fossil Fuels

Energy plays an important role in everyday life. From lighting our homes to fueling our cars and powering our factories, energy is used to make life convenient, efficient and fun. But the supply of nonrenewable resources that we depend on, such as coal and oil, is dwindling, and we are in danger of being left in the cold. This book discusses the perils of wasting energy and the negative impact fossil fuels have on our planet. It also provides ideas on what you can do to reduce the size of your carbon footprint and to promote cleaner, greener energy.
