I asked work colleagues (aged from early 20s to their 30s, 3 from UK, one from RO and other from ZW) if they had been taught about processing and #refining of #crudeoil during #science lessons at high school during 90s/2000s.
When I was in high school myself, every other science lesson was about it (and a good portion of teaching materials were corporate propaganda from #BP / #Shell)
Only the lady from Zimbabwe had been taught about #oil and #coal (possibly with similar material to my generation!), the chap from Romania (with an interest in cars) did know a bit about it but had not learned in school.
It is not surprising there is limited knowledge of the impacts of #fossilfuel amongst recent generations (ironically, it may even have been #greenwashed out of #education !)
