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?

However

car ownership and use might help mitigate the environmental problems, there are many other ways to tackle the issues more effectively. Governments should provide more transport options which are more sustainable and invest in public facilities that can shape individuals' behaviours.
