Environmental
pollution
has been the most important global issue for the
last
few decades.
People
around the world are trying to mitigate
this
problem in various ways. Some
people
think that increasing the
price
of
fuel
is a
way
to solve
this
global burning issue.
However
, I strongly disagree with the idea and
this
essay will discuss my position.
Firstly
, the transportation
cost
while
transporting agricultural goods is related to the
price
of
fuel
. When the
cost
of petrol or gas will be higher, the transportation
cost
will be higher automatically.
Therefore
, the farmers at the root level will face a higher production
cost
for the sale of their goods at the market.
Moreover
, it allows them to raise the
price
of their products.
Similarly
, the
rate
of industrial products will be higher which is not a good
way
and
this
situation will hamper the living standard of
people
.
For example
, in Bangladesh,
people
have faced
this
situation and
people
have struggled to fill their primary demand
due to
the high
rate
of goods.
Thus
, increasing
fuel
prices will not be a good practice to combat environmental problems.
Secondly
, a higher
rate
of
fuel
may lead high
inflation
rate
in any country around the world which may lead to several environmental problems.
Due to
the high
price
of
fuel
, many industries will be closed. Whenever they close their factories, they will not pay their bank loan which may increase the
inflation
rate
in a country. Because most industries run their business by taking loans from banks.
As a result
,
people
will suffer in the day to day life for the higher
inflation
rate
.
Finally
, the increasing
price
of
fuel
will encourage less
use
of vehicles and it could mitigate environmental
pollution
including a lower
rate
of carbon emission and other greenhouse gases.
However
,
instead
of using non-renewable energy sources,
people
can
use
renewable energy sources
such
as solar to operate their vehicles which is a
way
to lessen
pollution
like air.
Additionally
, the government can take action to spread the
use
of solar energy and educate
people
to
use
it.
In conclusion, increasing the
fuel
cost
will not be the best
way
to combat environmental
pollution
globally. It may create chaos within a country which leads to multiple environmental issues within these countries. The unstable living standard and the high
rate
of
inflation
may be the result of the increasing
price
of
fuel
.
