▶ Your Answer :
Recently the price of petrol in Korea has
increasingly risen due to several reasons. Many people say increasing the price
of petrol might be help to prevent environment from be polluted and reduce to
overuse unnecessary a private car. In my essay, I would like to discuss if it
is actually helpful.
Firstly,
it can be said that increasing the price of petrol contributes car owners to
use their car rather less than the time that the price was still reasonable. The
public transportation fare is comparably reasonable so it contributes more
people to use the public transportations like bus or subway. Moreover, the less
people drive their own car, the more vanished the pollution problem will be because
burning petrol is one of the main cause of air pollution.
On the
other hands, the price of petrol is not directly related to reduce those
problems because increasing price is mere temporary solution, not fundamental
solution. Although the price is increased or decreased, a lot of driver are
still using their own car and simply complain about the fluctuate price of
petrol. If government keeps increasing the price to prevent driver from using
their car, it might affect the economy.
The fundamental
solution I think is the high developed technology such as an electronic car. As
the example, an electronic car does not cause of air pollution like the petrol
car. Moreover it is run by charging electric so the price to use is fairly
cheaper than using the other materials.
In conclusion, increasing the price of
petrol has not only possibility to reduce growing traffic and pollution, but
also has disadvantage that it is not a fundamental solution and might affect
negatively to economy. I believe the most effective solution is to develop the
technology and invent products to use eco material, therefore not causing any
pollution. |
