Some people believe that air travel should be restricted because it causes serious pollution and will use up the world’s resources. Do you agree or disagree?

Advances in technology have resulted in cheaper flying tickets

thus

an increase in air travel but

this

has a knock-on effect on the environment with many environmentalists struggling to cope with

. Many people enjoy the benefits provided by

However

statement.

This

are responsible for contaminating the atmosphere.

For instance

, a rent report in my country established that aeroplanes contribute to 40% of global warming.

This

is because burning jet fuel releases a vast amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas

Secondly

, aeroplanes exhaust natural resources.

For example

, planes are made up of 80% aluminium, so excessive production of

Consequently

This

resources. To conclude,

although

air travel is the most convenient form of journey, the after-effects it has on the environment is detrimental.

Hence
