Many countries raise fuel prices in order to deal successfully with problems pertaining to traffic and pollution. What effects do you think this move can have? What other measures do you think can be taken to reduce traffic and pollution?

The phenomenon of too many

cars

on the road cause to environmental damage has aroused wide concern among various circles.

Although

there will undoubtedly be some negative consequences of modern transportation tools, governments and individuals can take steps to mitigate these potential problems. Regarding the cause of pollution, modern

cars

run on

electricity

or burn fossil fuels, both

energy

cause pollution to varying degrees.

Although

electric

cars

will not release carbon dioxide directly like fuel

cars

, the most common source of generating

electricity

are natural gas and nuclear these days. Burning natural gas will have lower carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels, but considering the demand of the human community, it is still causing huge pollution to the atmosphere. As for nuclear

energy

, some nuclear waste is produced in the process of generating

electricity

which is something harmful to life. To deal with nuclear waste, people usually put them to the bottom of the ocean or Arctic and the Antarctic. If there are any leaks from the container, it will jeopardize all living creatures in the ocean. There are several actions that could be taken to solve the problems described above. Government should enforce strict policies and control the number of private vehicles on the road. It should be able to make people use public transportation rather than their

cars

in order to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.

Moreover

, they should encourage

electricity

companies to use renewable

energy

as a source of

electricity

generation

such

as wind and hydro. While the general public should strict and educate the

next

generation not to waste so that the demand for

energy

will decrease. Under

this

line of thinking, more

cars

on the road more damage to our planet. In view of the dire consequence of

this

alarming trend, both the government and individuals should take steps to alleviate the problem to make our world a more sustainable place to live in.
