Following a conversation on here I am asking for some help to work out what products are produced from crude oil and how we can produce alternatives.

I am throwing this out to the community to between us we can start to gather information and present this so we can make a better argument to reduce and eliminate our need for crude oil.
Granted some products are going to need some R&D to replace, but maybe that will inspire people to study STEM and undertake that research.

Interesting that #waxPaper and #crayons are on the list.
Crayons and some other things in that list are not strictly necessities thankfully but their are a lot in that list that obviously need a lot of work.
Re your comment about more energy intensive production methods being dismissed as not sustainable, we would be cautious to be as broad brush as that.
Btw don't forget one thing — the #petroDollar. 😉
Never see any mention of hemp building products. Bricks or any of how many other products that can be made from hemp?
@zleap phenomenal thinking. extemely high value goal. what an absolute LEGEND 💯💯
