People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.

It is widely believed that one solution to environmental problems would be for governments to hike up the price of

petrol

. While I consider that

this

might be an effective

measure

, I would argue that other measures might have an even greater impact. On the one hand, raising the cost of fuel for cars and other modes is one of the efficient way because of some reasons.

Firstly

, higher fuel prices can help to limit the number of car journeys. A large number of low and middle income earners are not able to afford the

therefore

they are forced to adapt to other means of

transport

such

as: bicycle, walking, train, bus, etc.

Traveling

private cars is the necessary way to cut down on car emission and reduce

Secondly

, the extra money, which collected from increasing fuel prices can be used in order to compensate for the extra expense.

Government

Suggestion

The government

can raise expenditure on upgrading and expand public facilities and transportation to suffice residents.

On the other hand

, while

this

rise in

petrol

costs might be a useful stopgap

measure

, national authorities could apply some other solutions to tackle

this

problem. The

first

measure

is to invest money in developing eco-friendly means of

transport

. People should be encouraged to use electric cars and motorbikes to prevent air pollution.

Moreover

, introducing free bus and train passes, as the increased use of public

transport

would help in the effort to combat global warming. Another

measure

is to raise

awareness of the need to cut down on emissions from their cars. Environmental campaigns
