Impact of Oil on Silicon Valley Life
The following is an excerpt from Silicon Valley Moms’ blog:
“Wow, so mom? My Legos are made from dinosaurs?!”I smile big. My son also realizes that Legos and gas come from the same oily source, so he knows that a tank of gas and a box of Exoforce have more in common that price.
I tell the twins to touch everything in their room made from metal, then wood. Those are much smaller lists.
We read the end of the Oil book which explains the environmental effects of using so much oil. We look at a world map of where oil is found and I tell them about the Middle East and how they control most of the oil in the world. We talk about running out of oil. This is a good conversation with six year olds. They are really in to it.
