Topic 3: the best way to resolve significant environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There are many environmental
problems
which affect all over the world. Some
people
think that these
problems
can be solved if the
cost
of fuel
such
as petrol has increased. From my perspective, since increasing the price of unrenewable sources will not change anything, I strongly disagree about
this
solution.
People
need fuel for many reasons like transportation and heating. That's why rising the
cost
does not help to reduce these needs as still they have to use for these purposes.
In contrast
, the increased prices can lead to chaos in a nation.
For instance
, Iranian
people
started to protest against the government after the new high prices for weeks in 2017, and these protests not only happened in Iran but
also
in other developing countries.
Thus
, changing the price does not help the factor of usage.
On the other hand
, there are several useful ways to solve these important issues. Environmental
problems
occur mostly because lack of consciousness which is directly relevant to education. If the seminars were given by authorities, these
problems
could decrease since
people
's awareness would be more.
Furthermore
,
instead
of increasing the
cost
, it is better to put some limits ,especially on the factories which remarkable bad impact on nature. The effects of factories should be recorded regularly and these recordings need to inspect by a national organization. In conclusion,
although
environmental
problems
are a huge topic and must be handled, I completely believed that increasing the
cost
of fuel does not resolve it.
