The automobile has brought more harm than good to the planet
We live in a world, where everyone in our society has automobile for his/her convenience. Automobiles are cars, trucks and buses used for transportation. Although it has advantages, there are many disadvantages. I agree that the automobile has brought more harm than good to the planet.
Automobiles are the primary source of air pollution. Air pollution causes the environment to be unclean and it disturbs the natural eco-system. There are several diseases due to air pollution, which are rapidly increasing in our cities. Global warming is also a byproduct of air pollution. Due to global warming, glaciers are melting and causing destructive floods every year.
Automobiles are expensive to buy. Now days, automobile has become status symbol for some rich people. They buy expensive cars just to show off. In addition to that automobiles are expensive to maintain. Due to increasing rate of oil and fuel costs, automobile's maintenance is getting expensive.
Every year thousands of people either die or get disability in car accidents. In many countries, government does not take proper precautions for accidents. In my opinion people should take proper precautions when driving. I suggest that instead of show off people should buy automobiles only if they need it. Automobile Industries should make environment friendly cars. It will reduce the air pollution and global warming. People should travel in bus or train more often than cars. By decreasing the use of automobiles, we can protect environment and obtain a healthy human life.
excellent work
