As a country develops, people tend to buy more cars. Do the advantages for the individual outweigh the disadvantages for the environment.

With the development of a nation, more individuals opt to purchase automobiles, and some believe

idea.

cars

allow individuals to carry more items. According to a recent survey, 70 per cent of respondents cited a

as

of the best items they had to make their life easier. Among them, about 50 per cent of people said they could not live without an automobile.

This
