or not. In my opinion,
this
topic is hugely debatable, but I am convinced that there are several other methods to solve

issue and
this
essay will examine those methods. Some people believe that if the price of petrol rose markedly, the corresponding reduction in the number of car owners will be noticed. Due to the high cost of driving

is the invention of electronic cars which can be driven by using electricity.
Thus
, there will be a substantial drop in petrol usage and the problem of

may be improved. In conclusion, the solutions given can more or less help decline the number of traffic and mitigate the problem of
pollution
. Government and citizens should join hands in order to eliminate these problems at the earliest stage for the betterment of
