It has been a big issue in this modern society that how environmental problems can be reduced. Some people suggested that the price of fuel should be increased for decreasing usage of fuel. To some extent, I agree with it. However, I believe that there is another better way. This essay has tried to cover the former's view, and will suggest a possible better solution for this sophisticated issue.
On the one hand, many people believe that it would be very helpful for saving the earth to increase the price of fuel. Since the most-used type of fuel is fossil fuel which produces a lot of bad byproducts, it has been encouraged for people to reduce usage of oil and gas. Also, most governments in the world charge a huge tax on them to reduce consumption of these energy sources. Therefore, people try to use public transportation than their own cars and wear thick clothes at home during winter. On the other hand, people argue that it is better than increasing the price of fuel to make an effort to apply new renewable energy to our daily life. Regardless of change of the price of fuel, environmental issues has never decreased. Also, since people can not live without using fuel now, it is really hard to reduce fossil fuel consumption unless there are alternatives of this fuel. Therefore, development and applying of new clean energy would be more effective than incresing the price of fuel.
To sum up, some people believe that the more expensive the fuel is, the more people try to save the energy. However, since people have ther minimum needs of the fuel, it is limited to reduce consumption of fossil fuel. Also, as far as people use this fuel, environmental pollution can not get better. Therefore, I believe that it is a better way to develop alternatives and apply them to our lives as soon as possible. |
