Some people believe that environmental problems can be solved by increasing the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree

Environmental problem

Suggestion

An environmental problem

has become a major issue in both developed and undeveloped countries. Some individuals share the view that

this

problem

can be reduced by raising the cost of petrol for cars and other vehicles. I strongly agree with

this

view because

this

would result in less cars on the road leading to less environmental hazards

such

as smoke inhalation and

also

lead to increase economy. Uplifting the cost of

fuel

for cars to reduce environmental problems would be a means to an end.

In other words

,

this

act will reduce the amount of individuals who can afford petroleum thereby reducing the number of cars on the road,

thus

reducing air pollution. Take

for instance

, in Nigeria, a

liter

a metric unit of capacity, formerly defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water under standard conditions; now equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters (or approximately 1.75 pints)

litre

of petrol is about 300

, which is above the minimum wage of most individuals in the

country

.

This

act alone has reduced the number of cars, which in turn has reduced the environmental problems in the

country

In addition

the increment

Thus

, improving the environment. Many countries have developed their economical status solely on the increase of petroleum and

gas which

gas, which

in turn has decreased environmental hazards. Take

for example

, China, who in 2017, was recorded as the

country

with the ‘purest air to breathe’ by the World Health Organization.

This

was mainly achieved because the Chinese government increased

fuel

prices back in 2015 and these extra funds were diverted to other transportation systems which

in directly

not in a forthright manner

indirectly

reduced environmental hazards. If the government would raise the cost of

fuel

and divert the extra funds to other means of transportation

this

would reduce environmental problems. In conclusion, increment of

fuel

prices would aid in the eradication of environmental pollution which can be harmful to the health of the citizens as well as the globe as a whole.
