Is there anything on earth that isn't composed of hydrocarbons?

70% or more of hydrocarbons are found in oil.
70% or more of the products made in the USA contain Hydrocarbons.

Here is where 70% or more of the hydrocarbons used by American companies come from -

eia.doe.gov

My 3 examples of 70% are close but not exact.
