Oil and gas are what is considered as fossil fuel. If I were to put it in lay man's term, fossil fuels are natural resources which takes a great amount of time to gain. Fossil fuels are basically the remains of dead organisms like dinosaurs, plants, animals and even humans. I think that our current generation is being too reliant to fossil fuels, I hope that we learn to be more mindful of our resources. We cannot keep consuming our limited resources
