The best way to solve world_s environmental problem is increase the cost of fuel. Do you agree or disagree and give your own opinion?

It is believed that

and

issues would be best tackled by inflating the

of petroleum. In my opinion,

idea is completely flawed and there are several reasonable alternatives.

Clearly, the

of

has little to do with pressing problems of

and

. The inevitable demand for time efficiency and safe commuting in the modern world makes the change in

prices become rather insignificant, which proves the ineffectiveness of the suggested policy.

, even if the

were increased, people would still travel by their preferred form of transport on a daily basis and the problems of

and

would remain.

,

solution could easily trigger social disagreement and resentment.

, coupled with the reluctance of using expensive

to travel every day, could be counter-productive and

proposed idea would become irrelevant.

, alternatives to increasing the

of petrol show greater effectiveness.

, governments could implement certain regulations restricting the use of private vehicles

as cars and turn people to using public transportation.

would relieve many roads from heavy

congestion by reducing the number of vehicles on the road, which in turn alleviates the problem of

caused by exhaust emissions.

, in many cities around the world, cycling has proved to be an effective, environmentally-friendly form of alternative transport and should be encouraged more in other major cities. Certain infrastructure,

as separate zones for cyclists, should be created to help avoid the overload of

during rush hour when the number of vehicles can exceed the road_s capacity.

In conclusion, I believe that heightening the

of

used for travelling to address

and

problems is somewhat absurd; and that there is a number of other more suitable and effective solutions.
