Some people think the government 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.

It is considered by some individuals, that the authorities ought to elevate the prices of

fuel

, which are used in automobiles, in order to settle the environmental

pollution

. I partially agree with

this

statement, because only with increasing the

cost

of fossil

fuel

may not solve

this

problem, but there are many other options

such

as the production of more electrically driven vehicles, reduction of the import of fossil

fuel

-driven automobiles as well as implementing new lawsuits,should be considered to minimize

this

environmental crisis.

To begin

with, the mission of unfavourable gases

such

as carbon monoxide from petroleum driven vehicles is a great burden to the environment.These gases cause the greenhouse effect which leads to global warming and many more problems. When the

cost

of

fuel

is low people tend to purchase more vehicles as their maintenance

cost

is lower.

This

can indirectly increase the traffic jam and

subsequently

elevates environmental

pollution

.

For example

, in countries with low oil prices, the annual sales of automobiles

also

considerably high.

Therefore

, by increasing the prices of fossil

fuel

, consumption will

also

be reduced and it will indirectly support the environment

However

, the elevation of the prices of fossil

fuel

is not the only answer for the environmental crisis but there are many more logical solutions for

this

. For instances, the production of electrically-driven automobiles, as well as reduction of the import of petrol and diesel vehicles can be considered.

Moreover

, it should be considered to plant more trees in the city areas and

this

will purify the air and reduce warming. Empowering citizens by means of protecting their own surrounding is one of the most important aspects to be considered. As an example, in Sidney,they have reduced the air

pollution

by 40% with the theme of "go green ". In conclusion, It is evident that,

although

environmental

pollution

can be controlled by raising the

cost

of

fuel

, there are many other successful methods to solve

this

global problem.
