Even if you don’t care about the climate/environment, the impact of petrochemicals on human health cannot be understated.

They have filled our biosphere with carcinogens and endocrine disrupters for profit. It’s about more than just energy consumption, we need to eliminate the entire petrochemical industry.

Nothing has expanded the human lifespan more than petrochemicals. A LOT of medicine/medical machines are made with petrochemicals
