The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the most common means of

transport

is the car. In great parts of the world, the situation has escalated to the point that the number of vehicles on the road is not sustainable anymore.

Therefore

, I agree that encouragement and

control

over

this

issue should be implemented both at a national and international level. In the next

Furthermore

require a huge amount of oil, which is a non-renewable source of energy.

Consequently

Moreover

, many studies demonstrate the link between the

of non-renewable sources and the worsening of environmental-related issues,

such

as climate change. Since many people are often not fully aware of the environmental consequences of their actions, the only way to improve the situation regarding the

Therefore
