More and more people are relying on the private car as their major means of transportation. Describe some of the problems over-reliance on cars can cause, and suggest at least one possible solution. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience

The reliance of humans on

cars

is now showing an upward trend not only in western countries but across the globe. Fewer

people

prefer walking or using public transport systems. Relying on

cars

excessively can cause health hazards and environmental problems. There are several issues relating to over-reliance on

cars

.

Firstly

, humans tend to develop a sedentary lifestyle, obesity and decline in physical activities.

For example

, when

people

start using

cars

for travelling to walkable distance, leads to gaining of weight and ultimately results in obesity. It should

also

be taken into account that the emissions from the

cars

adversely impact the environment. The harmful gases that are emitted into the air due to fossil fuels used by

cars

, escalate the level of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, which

subsequently

leads to global warming. As said, "every problem has a solution", the phenomena of over-reliance on

cars

too have various solutions. One of the solutions is,

people

should be self-motivated to walk to nearby places

instead

of using

cars

.

Secondly

, the government should ban the

cars

that burn fossil fuels and more encouragement should be given to electronic

cars

that run on batteries.

Lastly

,

people

to switch to public transportation systems as they are cost-effective and are speedy compared to private vehicles.

For instance

, a train ticket would cost much less than fuel and will save our lot of time. In conclusion, I would strongly recommend

people

to be not dependent on

cars

as it not only affects health but

also

the environment. Ultimately, these problems can be avoided by using public transportation facilities and walking frequently.
