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?

Some individuals believe that raising the cost of

fuel

is the most effective method to solving world's environmental problems. While I accept that

this

policy is good to some extent, I believe it is not the best because there are much better measure to reduce environmental issues.

It

might be a good idea to increase the price of

as coal, petrol and gas because of some reasons.

Firstly

, by making it more costly to purchase

fuel

, government can deter people from using personal vehicles.

For example

, if gasoline is more expensive, people will start using public transport rather than driving a car or riding a motorbike, resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions, which is responsible for global warming and climate change.

Secondly

, the decrease in the demand

of high price would lead to the minimization of natural resources exploitation which reduce the problem of waste disposal in

industries.

Lastly

, as the cost of using

fuel

is higher, people might use them much more efficient.

For example

, if gas prices are higher, Europeans will learn how to cope with the cold and only turn on the heater when necessary.

However

, I would argue that there are much better methods to deal with environmental problems. The

of natural resources. By doing

, people can reduce energetic burden on nature. The

second

solution is to have stricter punishments for environmental criminals.

For example

, people who

of environmental degradation should be required to pay a huge fine or receive a prison sentence.

This

makes individuals more likely to respect the law, and environmental issues can be limited.

Additionally

, the government should launch programs or run advertising campaigns to raise people awareness about conserving nature. In conclusion, I believe apart from increasing the price of

fuel

, there are more effective ways to protect the environment.
