Fossil fuels are made from fossils. But why do we use them? They are nonrenewable resources like coal, oil and gas. They can run out and never be used again. We keep using them because we haven't found a replacement resource. By Cassie, age 9.
Driving a car involves using fossil fuels directly by burning gasoline to power the engine. Using electricity generated from fossil fuels to charge an electric vehicle involves using fossil fuels indirectly.

One major problem caused by using fossil fuels is air pollution. The burning of fossil fuels releases harmful pollutants into the air, leading to smog, respiratory issues, and other health problems for humans and wildlife.
Burning fossil fuels contributes to air pollution, climate change, and ocean acidification. Extraction and transportation of fossil fuels can also harm ecosystems and cause accidents such as oil spills. Additionally, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources, leading to concerns about energy security and sustainability.
