Some people think that air travel should be reduced to protect the environment. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.
Determining the impact of
air
travel
on environmental damage is an ongoing debate. Some claim that the frequency of air
travel
should be decreased in order to reduce air
pollution. On the other hand
, others go to counter arguments by suggesting that the travel
method does not pollute the environment more than others. Clearly, I disagree with the idea and a close examination will clearly demonstrate why air
travel
should be continued.
First
, travelling by aeroplane is essential for globalised modern society because other methods are overland and ocean route. First
of all, overland moving is not available for all countries and it requires too much time to trip with this
method. Also
, it can not guarantee that the train and car do not cause much pollution compared with other shipments. Furthermore
, ocean shipping such
as ships is also
not attractive as well as air
vehicles. For example
, a ship trip takes a week to go north America from South Korea. Therefore
, it is not eco-friendly because a lot of meals, water, facilities, and fuels are required to transport people and items.
Second
, air
travel
does not have a large portion of air
pollution. Someone claims that aeroplanes emit too much waste. However
, it is not exact information. One research statistic mentioned that methane from cow-breeding is the main reason for carbon emissions. In addition
, air
trips can not be replaced by other shipment methods such
as buses, trains, and ships because the aircraft can transport most people effectively. In other words
, it can move people with a small amount of fuel per person. Consequently
, it is not valid that the frequency of aeroplane trips should be reduced for improving the environment.
To sum up, air
travel
should not be reduced for two reasons. Firstly
, it is necessary because some nations can not use other methods and it is an effective shipment method. Secondly
, it is not the main reason for environmental damage.Submitted by koriente on
