Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve traffic and pollution problem.  To what extent do you agree or disagree?  What other measures do you think might be effective.

Air pollution is one of the biggest threats to our environment and

therefore

to solve

this

issue some think the rise in the

cost

of

petrol

is one of the measures that can be taken in order to control pollution as well as traffic.

However

, In my opinion,

this

is an effective measure but for a short period of time, there are some other measures that will be more effective in combating

this

problem. People consume

petrol

or diesel on the daily basis for commuting purposes especially from their workplace to home.

Therefore

, the increased fare of

petrol

will affect their monthly budgets and after a few

days

Add a comma

,days

show examples

they will demand from the

government

to decrease the

cost

.

Moreover

,the rise in the

cost

of

petrol

also

engenders inflation. Because the increased price of

petrol

directly increases the prices of other things like food, clothes and other amenities.

For example

,

last

week Albertans experienced a rise in the

cost

of gas by 30 cents per litre that

also

affect the

cost

of other amenities and now all Albertans are demanding from the

government

either to decrease the price of gas or to increase the minimum wage so that they would not face imbalance in their monthly budgets.

However

, there are some other solutions that can be taken which will be more effective in the long term in solving

this

issue. The

government

should encourage people through various programs to

use

public transport because it is cheaper than using their own vehicle.The more people will

use

public transport, the more they will save and

also

there will be less traffic on the roads. Another measure is promoting cars and buses that run on batteries. As the burning of fossil fuel is the main reason behind air deterioration

therefore

with the

use

of cars and buses that

use

batteries could help in maintaining air quality. A real-world example of

this

would be in Japan, where the

government

has subsidized those types of vehicles that run on batteries to save our environment from pollution. To conclude , it is the responsibility of every human to take an oath not to

use

things that could contaminate our environment. In

this

,way we can protect our atmosphere and the mother earth from being contaminated.
