There is a good deal of evidence that increasing car use is contributing to global warming, What can be done to discourage people from using the and have other undesirable effects on people’s health and well-being?

It is evident that mass

car

ownership is associated with several environmental and health issues, including global warming, lung cancer, and anxiety.

Although

the convenience of possessing a

car

has made it almost an inexorable trend, there are measures that governments can take to discourage unnecessary

car

use

. The

first,

and

also

the most effective measure could be to make it expensive to own and

use

a

car

.

This

measure can be implemented by taxing heavily on initial

car

purchasing, congested road

using

, and petrol consumption. By doing so, people might start considering reducing their

car

use

, especially for unnecessary trips.

However

, there is a drawback to

this

approach that it is often the poorer residents will suffer from the increased cost. The poor might have to cut some necessary trips because of the financial burden,

whereas

the rich ones would be able to maintain their convenience from

car

use

.

Therefore

,

this

measure may be effective, but not fair to the poor. Another way to discourage people from using their cars is to encourage them to

use

alternative

transport

,

such

as trains, buses, and bicycles. Evidence has shown that in cities,

such

as Tokyo and Paris, where better public

transport

systems are offered,

car

use

rates are lower and roads are less congested. People will only be most willing to

use

public

transport

when they are almost or even more convenient than driving their cars.

Therefore

, governments could invest more in infrastructure and

transport

system design and construction in order to provide adequate and competitive alternatives.

To conclude

, increasing the cost of having and using a

car

could be an effective way to reduce

car

use

.

However

, improving and encouraging the

use

of public

transport

could be the better and more sustainable way to achieve

this

goal.
