The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays cars are an important part of our everyday life. In the

last

years, due to easier mobility, the demand for cars has increased. But with the growing environmental conscience, many alternative laws and strategies have been made to encourage the population to use other eco-friendly means of

transport

.

Nevertheless

, I believe the regulation is crucial for the better future of our planet.

First

and foremost, in the developed societies people are concern about the over-usage of vehicles and the long terms environmental consequences it might have.

Therefore

, many

countries

have adopted several strategies to decrease the level of car ownership.

For example

, many Scandinavian

countries

and some other Western European

countries

are encouraging their citizens to commute with bicycles or have made subventions for the monthly tickets for public

transport

. Albeit

this

can be only found in the rich, western societies.

However

, one of the biggest remaining issues is the lack of international laws regarding the ownership of cars. But, since the car industries are one of the most important sectors in the world economy and

thus

represents a very important lobby in all international organizations and unions, it is hard to create a law that would manage to lower the ownership.

Therefore

, a balanced solution has been found, and many

countries

have imposed higher taxes for an additional car purchase. To conclude, it makes it clear that an improvement has been done in

this

field, albeit only in the Northern hemisphere. Even though the alternative means of

transport

have increased in popularity, the total abolishment of wheel

transport

cannot happen around the globe equally.

Thus

, to achieve a common goal both the rich and poor world should collaborate and invest more

education and the development of common strategies and laws.
