Some people think that the best way to solve global environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Environmental pollution has been a major concern to the society. Some folks argue that increasing the oil price is not the best solution to mitigate the environmental issue. I

on the other hand

agree with the notion above that increasing the cost of

petrol

decreases the frequency of its usage

thus

contributing to environmental advantage.

Firstly

, increasing the costs of

fuel

is one way to combat pollution.

This

is because, by inflating

fuel

prices, people will hesitate to spend their money on gas when they can spend their money

elsewhere

.

For example

, in Australia, people will not fill the tank of their

vehicles

on any other day other than Tuesday as the price of

petrol

is highly expensive. They need to fill up their vehicle with

petrol

but are forced to wait until Tuesday just to fill up their vehicle tank when the

petrol

price is relatively cheaper.

Moreover

, they will start exploring other modes of transportation

such

as buses and trains since the fares are cheaper than their spending on

petrol

.

Secondly

, increasing the costs of

fuel

will directly affect the demand for

fuel

-based cars on the market.

As a result

of the rise in oil prices, there is less demand on the market for a vehicle that operates on

petrol

and diesel. It will

further

encourage people to explore other transportation that uses alternative energy

for example

electric or hybrid

vehicles

.

For instance

, a big brand like Toyota has started to produce more hybrid and electric automobiles as there is more demand for these types of

vehicles

in the market from consumers. In conclusion, I completely agree with the statement above as increasing

fuel

will be beneficial towards the environment since it will encourage the community to be vigilant in their

fuel

spending and
