The Best Way to Solve the World’s Environmental Problem

The best way to solve the world’s environmental problem is to increase the price of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?


Introduction

Excessive traffic and increasing pollution are affecting every major city in the globe. To lessen Excessive traffic and increasing pollution are affecting every major city in the globe. To lessen such problems, some people say that governments should raise the price of fuel such as petrol and diesel. It may help to some extent, but I disagree that it is the best solution to solve the problem of the environment.

Body Paragraph 1

To begin with, the number of cars in a country directly depends on the proportion of the population, affluent enough to own cars. As a result, raises in gas prices could invoke hard feelings among this segment of people, but would not drastically change their behaviour in using cars. Even if the number of cars on road is reduced due to higher gas costs, this is not the best way to solve traffic problems. Such policy would hurt the auto industry, place higher costs on current and prospective car owners, and be detrimental to the economy of a nation. In the long run, the final way out could be the construction of better roads and more effective use of available public transport facilities.

Body Paragraph 2

Secondly, there is evidence that waste gas from cars is not the leading cause of air pollution. The culprit may be the discharge of polluting substances into the atmosphere due to the rapidly growing manufacturing industry. As a result, a reduction in the number of cars would not return us a blue sky and fresh air. We could better handle this problem if we could increase control over industrial waste discharge and adopt more environmentally friendly materials and production equipment.

Body Paragraph 3

Finally, other measures like the application of cheaper and cleaner energy resources could also be a better solution. For example, we now have the ability to make cell-powered or even solar-powered cars. Such energy is completely clean and plentiful.

conclusion

Summing up, it is not the best way to control traffic and pollution by increasing the gas prices because such action will hurt consumers and the economy without achieving what it is aimed for. Measures such as the construction of better transport facilities and the development of new energy resources could be more effective solutions.
