As countries develop, more and more people buy and use their own cars. Do the advantages for individuals outweigh the disadvantages for the environment?

While

countries are developing, the number of car buyers for their personal usage is increasing.

Although

the environment. The possession of personal vehicles can provide amenities for the owner. The benefits for people incorporate increased personal freedom and the storage of time.

Cars

allow people to travel and go to any remote destination without any worry about access to public transportation. They provide a sense of confidence in any area with limited public transportation options. A

further

advantage is that

cars

can save time by reducing travel durations.

For example

, a worker whose workplace is far away from their house doesn’t have to spend time waiting for a bus in a bus station daily.

However

, there are considerable menaces to the environment.

Firstly

, the increasing rate of usage of personal

cars

causes traffic congestion, one of the significant problems in megacities. The infrastructure required to accommodate

cars

, like roads and car parks, can

also

result in deforestation, habitat destruction, and loss of green spaces.

Secondly

, fossil fuels used by

cars

release harmful smoke, contributing to air pollution and negatively impacting human health. In conclusion, weighing up both sides of

this

mounting trend,

although

there are a number of benefits that personal vehicle usage brings, the disadvantages that it brings to the environment are impossible to ignore. I hope people prioritize the environmental issues to their comfort and manufacturers try to produce eco-friendly

cars

instead

of petrol-driven ones and appreciate the extent of their damage to nature.
