trips, public transport is available.
For example
Linking Words
, the growing biking culture among the Scandinavian people is believed to be responsible for low fossil fuel usage in Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is clear that there are various transportation methods, that should be encouraged due to the fact that they cause less repercussions to the environment.
Moreover
Linking Words
, it is clear that some laws must be submitted on an international level. A rigid control of car ownership can minimise the negative impact on the ecology. A limitation of traffic in specific areas can contribute to reducing vehicle use.
For instance
Linking Words
, in Vilnius parking zones of different prices were introduced, according to their location.
Consequently

, there would be less cars on the road and people would opt out other eco-friendly options of commuting. To conclude, population growth caused the higher demand of cars. That lead to high emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other poisonous chemicals. To reduce pollution, strict regulations must be introduced and hopefully society will choose economic ways of travelling.
