I wouldn't be surprised if half of everything you own includes some form of plastic. Phones, cars, appliances, even clothing is made from petroleum.There's a LOT of things that could be replaced with non-petroleum products (like textiles) but there's also some fields like medical equipment that we should be saving our reserves for.

Aspirin is made from oil, benzine is derived from petroleum.

As is paracetamol and ibuprofen
