Many people continue to use cars and motorcycles even though they know that they are bad for the environment. Why is this? What can be done to reduce the use of these vehicles?

Despite the harm that

cars

and motorcycles cause to the environment,

people

still continue to

use

them.

This

situation can be explained by the fact that these vehicles are more convenient than any other mode of

transportation

and the social status they provide;

however

,

this

problem could be tackled using a few tactics, which are going to be discussed in

this

essay.

To begin

, there are various reasons why

people

prefer to

use

their

cars

or motorcycles. The main reason is the convenience these vehicles provide, and

this

is because they usually are faster and more comfortable than public

transportation

,

for instance

. Another contributing factor to

this

is the social status that these vehicles provide. To illustrate, some

people

think that if a person commutes using public

transportation

then

they are poor and could not afford to buy a car.

This

is a social concept that pressures

people

into using

cars

even if they do not need to.

Nevertheless

,

this

issue could be tackled using a few methods.

Firstly

, the government needs to invest in public

transportation

to make them more comfortable and faster than they are at the moment.

This

way, more

people

would consider using them.

Secondly

, the

use

of cycling could be encouraged more, since it is not only better for the environment but

also

for the individual's health.

This

could be done through awareness campaigns using social media platforms. The government could

also

provide bicycles for public

use

, following the example of Amsterdam, which is a city with a high number of cyclists. In conclusion,

although

people

are aware of the dangers that

cars

and motorcycles pose to the environment, they continue to

use

them because of

the

high social status and the comfort they provide. There are a few methods the authorities could

use

to approach

this

issue, including developing better public

transportation

and encouraging the

use

of bicycles.
