Do you wear clothes?
Do you live in a house or apartment?
Do you work in a building?
Do you sleep on a bed?
Do you use a toothbrush?
Do you floss?
Do you shave?
Do you eat food from the supermarket?
Do you eat out at restaurants?
Do you watch tv?

If you do any of these things, you are a consumer of crude oil and you're actually part of the "problem"
