The Future

One day we may be able to refuel our electric cars at service stations like these. This will depend upon progressive energy companies like Chevron cooperating with motor manufacturers and other energy companies.

Pollution

Oil derivates are being dumped out at sea. Not only is this a wasted resource and a recycling failure, but also a danger to marine life and ultimately to humans from eating fish that is toxic. The companies listed below operate responsible policies that will hopefully be developed to create a circular economy where ocean plastic pollution is negligible. At that point we will have reached a sustainable society to secure the future of our children.
