The best way to solve the world’s environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel for cars and other private vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

New environmental problems are arising daily and they are causing a great deal of stress to the world. Many of our environmental issues arise

due to

low air quality index. I agree that reducing the accessibility to

fuel

for private vehicles can solve many of our environmental problems. Private cars are one of the most preferred media of

transport

,

while

they are very convenient and personal they are

also

a major contributing factor to carbon dioxide emission which is harmful to the earth's ozone layer

as well as

causes lower air quality index.

While

people want to keep their independence of

transport

it is necessary to take precautionary actions to keep the earth safe for our upcoming generations. Increasing

fuel

prices

can contribute greatly towards healing the earth, as it will motivate people to use public

transport

instead

of private to save them money. The ozone layer will be less affected by lower CO2 emissions, and the refinery working to extract

fuel

will work for fewer hours and

thus

contribute towards a greener environment. An indirect benefit

this

price increase will yield is towards the bad situation of the traffic as there will be fewer private vehicles.

While

the

fuel

prices

will go up it will

also

save money on car maintenance as people will use their cars less than normal and require minimal care.

However

, increasing

fuel

prices

will affect all areas of our life

such

as; the cost of transportation will increase.

This

will result in goods being expensive but with all the

fuel

money saved by using public

transport

, it will even out the effect. In conclusion, I think increasing

fuel

prices

will benefit our environment

as well as

help us eliminate many health complications. It will

also

contribute towards helping us eliminate issues like traffic and maintenance of private vehicles.
