The key issue of this cartoon is that the price for gas is too high. This is causing a lot of problems because it's too hard for vehicle owners to pay for it.  This cartoon interested me because of the way it was presented. It shows how we consume gas and the Earth pays the price for it and it shows we use it too much. This has an impact on me because pretty soon I'll have a car and the price won't be any easier to pay for then and it'll be very difficult to keep refilling. Also, my mom has to drive quite far for my soccer games now so were consuming a lot of gas, which is hard for her to pay for, then still have a bit of pocket money for herself.
