Many people around the world are still relying on the private car as their major mean of transportation. Describe some of the problems over-reliance on cars can cause, and suggest some solutions.

The big population in the world still depends on private vehicles like a car as their main
transportation
. In
this
essay, I will describe some problems of relying on
cars
and the solutions to them.
To begin
with,
cars
need
gas
to run, more
gas
means environmental destruction. If
people
rely on
cars
every day, they will need more
gas
, which is bad for our planet. To have
gas
, miners need to dig more deeply into our planet to find more resources for
gas
. They can cause environmental damage because they will destroy some forests. Animals will lose their house and nature becomes imbalanced.
For instance
, some
people
open illegal mines in Indonesia and their broken ecosystem.
In addition
, After finding what they want they leave the mines without the responsibility to restore the ecosystem.
Second,
if
people
depend on their private
cars
always, their vehicle emissions release much pollution into the
air
. It can cause some health problems
such
as asthma and the worst is cancer. Not just a danger for adults but for children who becomes prone to infection. The big city is not a friendly place to live because there is no clean
air
anymore.
For example
, netizens need to wear masks every time and buy
air
purifiers in their home. The first solution that can be effective is the development of public
transportation
.
For example
, currently, I live in Solo.
This
city has great public
transportation
namely BST (Batik Solo Trans), which is a bus with so many routes to reach places in Solo City. The bus is convenient for all generations because it has an
air
conditioner and many seats. The other advantage is the cost, it is cheap and we can
use
e-money to pay for it.
Moreover
, to decrease dependence on
cars
, the government can restrict the law.
People
just can
use
cars
on certain days. To illustrate, a person can
use
their car just three days a week, the other days they must
use
public
transportation
or they can choose another way
such
as walking or using
bicycle
Add an article
a bicycle
the bicycle
show examples
to go to work or school. In conclusion, relying on
cars
is not good for human beings, it can cause many problems for health and the environment.
Government
Add an article
The government
show examples
needs to work
together with
society to make a better future.
