why fossil fuels are bad for nature:
- when burning fossil fuels they release a gas called CO2 which eventually causes a problem that we know as climate change
- most fossil fuels are found underground meaning that we need to dig for them. sometimes that means taking away from the environment such as destroying forests
Using fossil fuels had a really bad impact on the climate, because using fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat, making the climate warmer. It is estimated that the oil is going to run out in 50 years and the natural gases in 70 years, although coal will last another 250 years we need to stop using them.

Economy
the problems that finite sources have created in the economy are not issues that we are facing as much now, but ones that we will face in the future. we are using fossil fuels which are obviously not good for the environment and they are finite therefore, we cannot use them forever. we need to switch to sustainable energy without causing an economic problem

Society.
Opportunities.
If We as a society resolve our energy issues and make the
change to sustainable energy we can use the recourses and money we are currently wasting on non-renewable energy to develop cures for diseases, prevent climate change and overall improve our world.
