The best way to slove the world's environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel.

Some hold the view that rising

fuel

costs could be the most effective way to deal with environmental

problems

. I disagree with

this

idea for two main reasons.

First

, increasing

energy

prices

will not have a significant impact on the amount and patterns of

fuel

consumption. The

second

reason is that hiking

energy

prices

will create more economic

problems

. The

first

reason why I am against raising the cost of

fuel

is that it can not have a remarkable effect on

fuel

consumption. People cannot change the amount of

fuel

they usually consume since their lifestyle and daily needs cannot be easily changed. They have to go to the same places for work and other purposes every day.

Therefore

, the amount of

fuel

they demand

their lives will not considerably decline after rising

prices

.

For example

, a survey conducted in the United Arab Emirates has demonstrated that rising the price of

fuel

could alter individuals' consumption patterns in only 15% of the participants investigated.

Moreover

, making

energy

more expensive would pose more economic

problems

. The

first

area affected by hiking

fuel

prices

is transportation, which plays a salient role in the economy.

This

will increase the price of other products and services, exerting a detrimental impact on people's lives. It goes without saying that

this

strategy will not have any meaningful contribution to solving environmental

problems

.

For instance

, a study conducted in Germany has revealed that more than 60% of environmental activists hold that rising the cost of

energy

is not an effective solution

their concerns. In conclusion, making

energy

more expensive is not the best strategy to cope with environmental issues because

this

cannot change the patterns of

use and will bring about

further

economic

problems

.
