Some people think that the best way to solve environmental problems is to increase the price of fuel for cars and other vehicles. Do you agree or disagree?

Over the

last

few decades, our cities faced unprecedented growth of traffic congestion, and

as a result

of

this

, we encounter a litany of environmental

pollution

. Some experts believe that the rising of

petrol

is the best way to resolve

this

problem. In my opinion, it may help to some extent;

however

,

this

is not the only solution.

To begin

with, increasing the

price

of

petrol

can help reduce environmental

pollution

to some degree.

In other words

, excessive use of cars releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is detrimental to the environment. If the

price

of

petrol

is hiked, individuals will start to use private cars less often and

this

, in turn, decelerates the rate of air

pollution

.

However

, the increase in the cost of

petrol

will not stop environmental

pollution

.

Besides

, the fuel

price

determines the market

price

of other necessary commodities, and increasing the

price

can affect poor and middle-class families. Alternatively, the government can take other measures to mitigate

this

problem. A better solution is to invest in sustainable energy resources,

such

as tide, wind and solar rather than non-renewable resources like coal and diesel.

For example

, solar power in the United States has proven its efficiency in energy production.

In addition

, using solar power to run public vehicles would result in cheap fare.

This

will encourage people to travel through eco-friendly cheap tram, buses and trains. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the hike in

petrol

is not the best solution to

this

problem.

Thus

an effective way to control the aforementioned issue would be to use other renewable resources of energy in the public transport system which can significantly bring down traffic and air

pollution

problems.
