Good Morning! Today, we will be learning about sustainability conservation of Fossil Fuels and Petrochemicals.
Ma'am, what are Fossil Fuels ?
Good Morning, Ma'am.
Slide: 2
Fossil Fuels are made up of dead plants and animals buried under the Earth millions of years ago. They are decomposed under extreme heat and pressure.
Correct answer. Very good.
Slide: 3
We should minimise carbon dioxide emissions and be energy-efficient. Avoid conventional bulbs and use LED Bulbs.
Back to today's topic. Let's start with Conservation of Fossil Fuels. Can anyone say what do you understand by that ?
We should use renewable sources of energy. Installing solar panels help in reducing energy costs. Use solar, wind or tidal energy as an alternative.

Yes ma'am.I have two points. 1. Reduce the use of plastics, it is non-biodegradable and hence we should minimise the consumption of non-biodegradable materials.
Awesome job, Aarav. Very proud of you all. I got all the points.. Good
Thank you, ma'am.
2. Opt for active travel options. Reduce the use of cars, it would improve the air quality. Choose cycling, public transport or car pools.
Slide: 5
Let's move on with PETROCHEMICALS. I am sure this is a new word for all of you. So, I will explain the topic to you all.
Ok ma'am.
Slide: 6
That's it for today's class. Class, any doubts regarding Conservation of Fossil Fuels and Petrochemicals ?
Petrochemicals are derived from petroleum and natural gas. They are made of hydrocarbon molecules. There are over 4000 products classified as petrochemicals.
No ma'am. Thank you so much, ma'am for today's outdoor session.
They range from simple wax candles to aviation fuels. Raw materials required to manufacture these commodities such as synthetic rubber, plastic, explosives, polymers, dyes, drugs, pesticides, shoe polishes and detergents are provided by Petrochemicals.
