Where fossil fuels are lurking in your home - room by room ->Grist | More on "Fossil fuels in everyday products" at BigEarthData.ai | #FossilFuel #ClimateChange

grist.orgWhere fossil fuels are lurking in your home - room by roomFreeing yourself from oil is a downright impossible task in modern America. You could put solar panels on your roof, bring tote bags to the grocery store, and drive an electric vehicle, but try as you might, your home would still be brimming with products derived from fossil fuels. Roughly 9 out of every 10 things in a typical home have some kind of chemical basis in petroleum, according to John Warner, an inventor who co-founded the field of “green chemistry.” It’s easy to miss all these innocent-looking items, because they’re hiding in plain sight. After World War II, a budding industry fueled by petroleum rapidly expanded — and the products hardly resembled crude oil. They were Tupperware containers, nylon stockings, and Tide laundry detergent. Chemical companies called these synthetic items “miracle” products that would revolutionize home living, promising comfort and convenience. For oil companies, the home was a new frontier. In an alphabet-themed advertising campaign from Shell in 1956, “H” was for Home; the company pointed out that oil research helped with everything from quick-drying paints and no-polish floor tiles to weather-defying asphalt-shingled roofs. People usually think that dependence on fossil fuels is about what we burn: the gasoline...
