Gasoline is rare for a moment....

This phenomenon that we often saw lately…..

Yup….people were trying hard to get the gasoline. They were in line for many hours because the gasoline began to be rare and that’s why it became the primary need. According to the news, the rare of gasoline in Pontianak was caused by the sinking ship in Kapuas River that hadn’t been lifted up, so that it blocked the distribution of gasoline. All of the gas stations in Pontianak were full of people. This phenomenon caused other problem for Pontianak:

First was the traffic jam. The long line of people who waited for the gasoline has made the road crowded.  If we look at the problem carefully, the traffic jam also caused people’s motorcycles and cars running out of gas because they took a long time in the road before they reached their destination. It was awful, wasn’t it?

Second was the high of gasoline price. This situation was used by the street vendors of gasoline to get benefit as much as possible. They cost the gasoline double or even triple of the original cost of gasoline before it was rare.

What if there is no gasoline in this world at all?? We can’t imagine it…

Now, the gas distribution gets well little by little. No more so long line and so many people at the gas station or on the road. (We hope so….)

This can be a warning for us to use the unrenewable natural sources, like gasoline wisely and economically, not to explore it as we want. If we explore the gasoline unwisely, the gasoline will be rare while the humans’ needs get more and more all the time. We hope that one day; there will be an alternative thing to replace the use of gasoline because besides gasoline is one of unrenewable natural resources, it also causes pollution to the environment.
