“Many cities suffer from serious air and noise pollution—as well as traffic jams—because of too many cars. Some people feel that cities with extensive public transportation systems should ban passenger cars and force people to walk, bike, or use public transportation. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?”
Imagine every time you did something positive you stabbed yourself in the leg. Eventually, you will die. The knife that you are jabbing into your appendage represents pollution. Pollution is the by product of factories, cars, motorcycles, and things of that nature. Everyday people are working in factories. The more they work, the more waste the building emits. Cars a re also driven everyday. Have you ever seen the emissions coming from the tailpipe of a vehicle? A bus, perhaps? Have you ever wondered where the gaseous emissions are going? Well, if you were not aware, it is released into the atmosphere. This pollution is unhealthy, and it accumulates.
Many people feel that banning passenger cars and forcing people to find other means of transportation, such as public transportation, walking, or biking, is the best way to alleviate the current pollution problem. I believe, however, that this is completely absurd. I think that people are too programmed and used to driving and relying on passenger vehicles for transportation to make such a drastic change to public transportation. Also, people paid good money for the cars that they have, and they deserve to use them. I, however, do not know a solution to the pollution problem, but I am confident that professionals can find a better resolution.
