Discuss: Government of major cities in the world should help lower traffic congestion and pollution.

The environment has been a hot topic for many years now. Nevertheless only a few concrete actions have been undertaken but let's be honest; this is not enough.

Every form of pollution should be treated and taken into account.

In big cities, next to the pollution produced by industries and the massive waste thrown (away) every day, traffic and the use of cars are two central problems.

Population in cities are growing every day* and this has an impact on the quality of inhabitants’ life. On the other hand, we notice the car industry never stopped growing over the years. (*"Every day"= each day, "everyday"=commonplace/ordinary)

The initiative has been taken to reduce this phenomenon.

First, like in Brussels city, tolls will be constructed outside the city to tell people to stop taking their car into it.

Secondly taxes can be imposed on "everything" which can concerned cars. It can be imposed on the price of gasoline, (on) the acquisition of the vehicle, or even during the roadworthiness test.

Public transportation can be ameliorated too. As long as the main place of a city is serviced, the safety guarantee and the comfort increased, it could be transformed into the first means of transportation in big cities.

Finally there can be many ways to reduce the traffic in big cities but unfortunately we are still not there yet as the people's comfort comes first. It will be only be when humanity is seriously threatened that the political world will really take (serious) actions. (It is an idiomatic phrase to just say "take action)
