As countries develop, more and more people buy and use their own cars. Does the advantage of this for individuals outweigh the disadvantage for the environment?

Nowadays, in developed countries, the majority of the general public have their own

cars

for transportation purposes. Throughout

this

essay, I will explore the advantages and disadvantages of

this

trend and express my own opinion on the matter.

Firstly

, I will share the positives of owning personal

cars

and ,

secondly

I will discuss the negatives of

this

trend on the environment.

To begin

with,

cars

can help us to reach our desired destination on time

such

as a job.

Moreover

, it can be used in emergency situations, where public transport is not available.

For instance

, if somebody gets hurt at the home or someone has to catch a flight, personal transport can be a big help. On top of

this

, owning a car can give us freedom because we can roam freely in a city without taking into account that bus services are not available at

this

routine after midnight.

On the other hand

, the world is facing serious problems right now in terms of both air and noise pollution.

For example

, a report published recently in the USA stated that more people's are dying from air pollution as compared to cigarette smoking.

Furthermore

, noise pollution is causing stress and anxiety in our life. Alternatively, we should focus on electric car technology.

This

is because electric vehicles are silent due to the fact that these

cars

do not need engines as well as no additional cost on fuel. In conclusion,

although

there are many benefits and negatives to increasing the total number of

cars

in developed countries. In my opinion, we should move to advance technology that will not only be eco-friendly but

also

economical.
