Some people think an international car-free day is an effective way to reduce air polution. Others think there are more effective ways to do this. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

There is no doubt that lowering air

is vital for the humanity.

However

activity, helping

to achieve

this

goal, in my opinion, there are other more effective ways to tackle

this

issue. On one hand,

car-free

day

is beneficial in several ways, one of which is that it helps people to understand that a self-owned car is not vital for their daily life. Forced to leave their vehicles at home, people will have to explore new means of

transport

,

such

as public

transport

and car sharing services,

consequently

it will be easier for them to constantly switch to these types of

transport

in the future, reducing the level of

pollution

in the air. Alternatively, if people were not informed about substitutions to self-owned cars, they would struggle against the public

transport

development.

However

, there are some other activities that help to lower the emission level more effectively;

for example

, switching to green

energy

. If

cars

become electric-driven and power plants use sunlight and wind as

sources,

then

sources will be eliminated. The reason for the advance in the effectiveness of

this

method in comparison to a

car-free

day

is that it allows people not to change their habits, but changes infrastructure

instead

.

Moreover it

benefits the economy because in the long-

run, the

will be cheaper than the one

that is

made from fossil fuel. In conclusion, taking everything mentioned into account, we can argue that

although

a

car-free

day

is an important part of the struggle against air

polution

undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with harmful substances as a consequence of human activities

pollution

, forcing people to explore the benefits of public

, I feel that switching to green

is more effective because it allows people not to change their behaviour and it will reduce the cost of

energy

in the future.
