Now days more and more people buy and use their own cars . Do you think the advantage of this trend for individual outweigh its disadvantages for the environment ??

In our modern society, the average

population

has their personal vehicle.

Although

this

is a sign of human progress on an individual level, it is opinionable for the environment's effects.

This

essay will discuss why the benefits for each individual do not outweigh the environmental drawbacks. Owning a

car

is related to a person's wealth and outlines an improvement in human possibilities as a society. A few decades ago, having a

car

was a true luxury, and only a few portions of the

population

could afford it. The technological and industrial development reduced the price of vehicles pushing more people to buy them. Nowadays, owning a

car

is more cost-effective and practical than using public transportation. Consequentially, a considerable slice of the

population

prefers driving to their destination by themselves. If every single person on the planet had a

car

, the earth would be unliveable. Unhopefully, traffic congestion, formation of smog and air pollution all come from

car

usage. To illustrate

this

, take the city of Milan in Italy into account: during

last

year, as the lockdown was promulgated, people stopped using their cars. In the same period, the air quality of the city improved to positive values like never before.

Therefore

, the redundant implementation of cars can be critically bad for the environment. To conclude, having a

car

has become a viral trend among the modern

population

,

although

this

is not always good news for our planet. In my opinion, the comfort gained on an individual scale can not stand against the unnecessary damage we are causing to the environment as a whole.
