Some people think the governments should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles in order to solve environmental problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The growing world of automobile industry has created several environmental issues, and

thus

, raised the concerns to hike the fuel prices to combat these problems. In my own perspective, I disagree with

this

notion of the rise in the petrol or diesel cost. On the one hand, there is no significant improvement seen in the air quality index from the past strategy of hiking the petrol prices. In fact, raising its costs will put the financial burden on the community, and along with that, it will

also

increase the price of other essential commodities

such

as transportation, and food items.

Thus

, it makes the life of especially poor and middle income families more difficult.

However

, the other expenditure can be increased in the form of insurance policy, service and maintenance charges, and paid parking spots to limit the number of cars on the highways and roads.

On the other hand

, the government should launch some reforms to decrease the emission of carbon footprints and air pollution levels.

For instance

, the use of the renewable energy resources

such

as solar, wind and tide should be promoted

instead

of non renewable products

such

as coal and petrol.

Additionally

, the public transportation through trains and buses should be made highly accessible with the frequent timings, issuing the cheaper monthly passes, and the economical ticket prices.

Moreover

, the use of bicycles for a shorter distance within the cities should be encouraged by making different rider tracks and free parking facilities. To recapitulate, I opine that inflating the fuel prices does not make

such significant effect on

Suggestion

such a significant effect on

the improvement of air pollution. It requires more sincere efforts in the form of using the biodegradable products, convenient public transportation system, and the bicycles.
