One of the hidden costs of COVID-19 is a dramatic increase in single-use plastics – more plastic bags, more take-out containers, more disposable cutlery, and tons of PPE.
This increase may have temporarily been necessary, but our plastic waste is everywhere and is itself a global health issue. We know it is killing birds and fish, is in our bloodstream, and is even in the arctic ice. Petrochemicals Enzymes CrudeOil ACN
And plastics may be worse than we thought. According to a recent report by the Center for International Environmental Law, (CIEL), plastic production and disposal are a major driver of climate change.
-Oil Demand Isn’t Roaring Back Yet
It was too good to be true. Last weekend’s OPEC+ meeting took a decision in record time to extend deep output cuts that had halted a dramatic slide in prices — and members even agreed to abide by them. The timing was perfect. The deal would keep oil from flooding the market, allowing time for demand to recover as economies around the world fire back up after draconian coronavirus lockdowns.
Yet oil prices aren’t recovering as the bulls had hoped. Yes, there is a rebalancing of supply and demand in the offing, but consumption hasn’t picked up quite as much as they hoped it would by now. Petrochemicals Enzymes CrudeOil ACN

-The oil and coronavirus crises may hasten US geopolitical decline
The economic and oil crises could usher in a period of higher tensions between the US and China.Petrochemicals Enzymes CrudeOil ACN
The continuing COVID-19 crisis has complicated geopolitics in many different ways. The geopolitics of oil is one prominent example.
The economic misery enveloping the world, deepened by the crash in oil prices, has sharpened a split within the United States ruling elite. Those who support and fund President Donald Trump are aligned with domestic US energy companies that suddenly face a great risk from plummeting oil and gas demand. This abrupt market downturn has forced Whiting Petroleum to file for bankruptcy and there are already reports that Chesapeake Energy is preparing to do the same. Many others may follow.
