Oil plays a big role in our society in the form of positive and negative affects it has on our environment and wildlife. When it comes to oil everyone one needs it, use it, and has great demand for it, but in the end it’s abused. Oil has been around for many decades that have provided energy for homes and gas for vehicles. Society has now abused the oil and the environment is suffering from high gas prices, oil spills and damaging the atmosphere.
Oil spillages in the ocean cause the oil to spread out over the surface of water that affects commercial fishing, food and tourism. Oil causes harm to the wildlife through physical contact, breathing and absorption that leaves the fish contaminated, and spreads to other animals and humans.
Oil can remain in the environment long after a spill event, especially in areas sheltered from weathering processes that has a long term effect on the environment and may never be cleaned up.
