Gas prices are going down. That's not a particularly unique observation.
Many of us know that the gas prices in the United States have plummeted
recently. Here's a novel idea: these gas
prices have gone down because there is less demand.
With
the advent of more efficient and eco-friendly vehicles the demand for
gas has diminished. That paired with the fact that supply was increased
when more drilling occurred in the
United States caused the lower prices. I think that in the United States
demand decreased, supply increased, and the prices followed the laws of
economics and decreased. Here is the important thing to learn from this
phenomenon: we as consumers impacted that reality. The corporations
could not change the fact that when our habits of buying large
quantities of gas decreased, then the value of their product also
decreased. Look at how much power we have! I saw that the direction that
gas prices were going, and as soon as I had the opportunity to live in
town and walk to schools and grocery stores I took it. I saw how trends
were going, gas prices were going up, my income was certainly not
increasing, so in order to just keep surviving I planned that as a back
up plan I would just walk everywhere if I ever couldn't afford to drive.
I ended up not being able to afford the upkeep of my car for a while,
so I decided to walk or take public transportation while I saved money
for fixing my car. The result was that I learned it was possible. I
could live for months at a time without a car, and this saved me money
on gas as well. We can make a difference by buying cars that don't use
gas, if we can afford that option, or by walking and taking public
transportation if possible. This helps us to take our lives and our
future into our own hands. We can do it. Yes we can.
