#world’s #cost #fuel
✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Many
people
 believe that increasing the cost of
fuel
 helps with environmental
problems
. I completely disagree with
this
 statement and in
this
 essay, I will try to present my arguments. Of course, a lot of
people
 say that increasing the price of
fuel
 could help solve environmental
problems
.
This
 is predicated on the assumption that higher
prices
 of
fuel
 force
people
 to use public transport. I believe that most
people
 use their cars because they do not have any alternatives, so when
prices
 become higher they still will be using their cars. Very often
people
 use their vehicles when they have to get to their jobs or transport someone or something, in
this
 particular case public transport is not a solution.
Furthermore
, the fact of increasing
fuel
prices
 will have a very low impact on the level of consumption.
Additionally
 in my opinion there are a lot of more effective ways to reduce environmental
problems
 like alternative energy sources. I believe increasing the cost of
fuel
 hits every single person even if they don't have a car. Services and food
prices
 rise
due to
 the cost of
fuel
.
On the other hand
 when governments invest in alternative sources of power.
This
 type of energy can really cause the level of pollution can decrease and
people
 do not have to pay additional costs for
fuel
. In conclusion, it is a mistake to assume that increasing the price of
fuel
 is the best way to solve environmental
problems
 because the key to solving these issues is to develop renewable energy.
