Air travel causes environmental pollution, so many people believe that there should be an increase in the price of air tickets in order to reduce air traffic. Do you agree or disagree?

the third millennium

a prolific increase in people who

Consequently
, there has been a view that

increases environmental pollution.
Although

of hiking the price of airline tickets in order to reduce

To begin

the increase

this
may hinder people from flying very often.
However

this

means of transportation belong to the upper class of the society and a small hike in
air
tickets does not make any difference in their choice. At the same time,
this
might have a huge impact on students and job seekers who resort to
air

out of necessity and which is not fair.
On the other hand

to give up flying.
For instance
, in Japan

,
the preferred choice of transportation of people is bullet trains that
travel
at the speed 350 to 400 kilo meters per hour and the Japanese barely
travel
by
air
.
In addition
to that, these trains run cleaner energy
such
as nuclear,
therefore
do not pollute our

. To conclude, while some people strongly argue that an increase in the price of flight tickets could result in decreased
air
traffic, I am unconvinced of the effect of
such
strategy as it seems to me that there are much better ways to do so.
