There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming and having other undesirable effects on people’s health and well-being. What can be done to discourage people from using their cars?
Recently, there is much evidence indicate that the increasing usage of
cars
has caused a drastic change in people
’s health and well-being as well as contributing to global warming. In my opinion, I believe that there are two ways that government
can do to discourage people
from using their cars
.
To begin
with, Government
can gradually limit cars
usage by imposing taxes. This
is because if people
find it costly to use
their cars
, they will more likely to use
them only when it is necessary. For instance
, in Europe, the car gas prices are high and there are ticket stations on most of the highways. Therefore
, a lot of people
in Europe use
electric public means of transport instead
of their cars
most of the time. However
, this
approach alone is not effective in encouraging people
to use
alternatives for their cars
.
Furthermore
, Government
should motivate people
to use
environmentally friendly means of transport. The reason for this
is that there are many people
who live in remote and rural areas, who are mainly dependent on their cars
; thus
, they are more likely to not have access to the public transportation network in their regions. For instance
, in the United States of America, the government
built many electric cars
charging stations and offers tax reductions for those who buy electric cars
. As a result
, the number of fuel-based cars
started to decrease significantly leading to a less polluted environment that is
healthy for everyone in the long run.
In conclusion, the issue caused by the increased use
of cars
will not be solved in a short time. Nonetheless
, the government
can play a pivotal role in tackling this
issue by imposing taxes on car usage and give reasonable motivation for people
to use
environmentally friendly means of transport.Submitted by omarmohamed995 on
