People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion

Many individuals believe that government should put in place policies to protect the environment, one of them is raising the cost of

fuel

for vehicles. In my opinion,

this

action can only solve a limited part of the environmental problems but, at the same time, it comes

along with

several drawbacks. Those in support of raising petrol prices argue that it contributes to mitigating air pollution by indirectly cutting down harmful emissions released by the burning of fossil

fuel

to power motor vehicles.

in response to the added expense. In fact, some simple solutions

such

as carpooling, driving with a steady and average speed or avoiding traffic jams can help gain

fuel

savings.

In addition

, the high cost of petrol will promote the use of sustainable transportation alternatives which are environmentally friendly. Indeed, more people will commute by public transport, bicycle or even by foot to avoid paying a great deal of money for fossil

fuel

and

this

, at the same time, can be a part of environmental conservation. In spite of the above arguments, I support the view that the rise in

fuel

costs will cause more harm than good.

Firstly

,

this

change could impose financial strain on people who strongly rely on private vehicles. In Vietnam,

for instance

, the motorcycle is irreplaceable because it best suits the narrow road which is inaccessible for public transport, so elevated

fuel

prices will be a heavy burden on low-income citizens.

Secondly

,

this

policy can increase the cost of transporting goods and services, and

as a result

although

a rise in petrol prices can tackle a small part of the environmental issues, the government have to give careful
