--- 3:50 Homework at research Lab - Used computers (required oil to make and needs electricity) --- 4:20 Badminton practice - Used Carbon graphite badminton racquet (used oil to heat up the steel to produce the carbon graphite material which it is made of) - Used badminton nets (used oil to transport it from the factories) - Used paint and polished/waxed floors for the gym (used oil to produce and to transport it to the school) --- 6:05 Car ride home (Car requires the burning of oil in order to function) --- 6:35 Home and dinner - soup ( oil to cook and to transport it here) - plain rice (oil needed for the trucks which brought it from the south) - shrimps (oil needed to power the boats which caught the shrimp) - BBQ pork ribs (oil needed to transport the pigs to be slaughtered and to be transported) - Roasted capon (oil needed to transport it from south china) --- 7:20 more homework (would not be able to finish as there would be no lights and would be too dark to study) 8:00 Walked dogs (possible, does not require oil to function) --- 8:20 Even more homework (would not be able to do as it would only be even darker) --- 10:20 Night Snack (would be too dark to eat, furthermore, the food could not have been made) 11:50 Showered (hot water stored in the solar power tank) --- 12:10 Bed time (bed is made with oil in its production process) Afternoon + night still able to function without oil= 2/113

 * Afternoon + night= 113

The day total = 146 The day total able to function without oil = 3 out of 146**

Conclusion Oil is highly significant in that it is used everyday for everything that I even touch, yet I still do not realize that oil had this big a impact on my life. Thus, without oil, all my comforts in life, which I would rather die than live without, would be down the drain as they would not have existed. Furthermore, some of the even basic living conditions of those unfortunate enough to live in under developed nations would probably be better than the living condition of a person’s lifestyle without oil. Thus, oil has a high impact on our lives, including our culture, our identity, what we eat, what we do, and who we are.
