Some people think governments should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles in order to solve environmental problems. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

In modern society, the demand for

cars

and

vehicles

has driven widespread air pollution problems. As an answer to

this

issue, increasing the

cost

of

fuel

for

vehicles

might have been suggested in many areas. I understand

this

viewpoint,

however

, I personally disagree with

this

suggestion because we cannot maintain our lives without using

cars

and other

vehicles

.

Firstly

, increasing the

price

of

fuel

ultimately cannot solve pollution problems. Undeniably, for decades, having

cars

and other

vehicles

such

as buses or trucks is essential in our daily lives because it is the quickest and the easiest way to get to the destination. Most people seem likely to use those

vehicles

for their convenience even if the oil

price

has risen.

For example

, other

vehicles

which don't use oil, like riding a bike or subway, are uncomfortable. Especially, in the subway, a lot of people are packed in small spaces, which makes them feel stuffed and inconvenienced that we have to stand close to strangers.

As a result

, I believe that we cannot stop lowering the rates of car usage by increasing oil prices.

Moreover

, there are several reasons why the government should not increase the

cost

of

fuel

.

This

has detrimental effects on the public financial struggles. Just imagine that if the

cost

of

fuel

increases, the expenditure of standard living costs might be able to increase, which can be a burden to people.

Also

, not only living costs but

also

the

price

of products and services will rise,

then

eventually the satisfaction of the general public will decrease.

In addition

, especially in the countryside or remote areas, low-income inhabitants may wrestle with using driving

vehicles

because of the

price

of

fuel

. What I am concerned about is that

this

situation will contribute to social inequality which is harmful to social harmony. For these reasons, I think raising the

price

of

fuel

for

vehicles

has more drawbacks than we have commonly assumed. In conclusion,

although

increasing the

cost

of

fuel

might be able to reduce the rate of using

cars

to some degree, I firmly believe that it should not be increased because

vehicles

are an important method in our lives and

this

could lead to detrimental effects on our society as a whole. I suppose we should find another alternative way to mitigate the environmental problems

instead
