Environmental Impact and Fossil Fuels

The video discusses the evolution of travel from ancient times using animals to modern times with fossil fuels. It highlights the convenience brought by fossil fuels and the challenges of resource depletion and pollution. The importance of conserving fossil fuels is emphasized, with a focus on the role of the Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) in India. Practical tips for saving fuel while driving and personal conservation efforts are also provided.
