Climate crises has already became a major problem for the mankind. It was proved that airplane flights use enormous amount of fuel and contribute to climate change much more than the use of cars does. Some people believe that it is better to limit flights by giving up tourist travels instead of reduce car utilisation. I disagree with this statement and in this essay I will explain the reasons for my opinion.
First of all, the word has significantly changed since the introduction of mass use of planes. Therefore, it will not be that easy to give up airplane flights and transportation due to globalization of this mean of transport. Nevertheless, relatively small number of people use airplane flights for tourist travel more than once or twice a year. Thus, limiting these kind of flights will not be as effective as giving up business flights, which occur more often. For example, business travels can be limited by conducting online meetings instead, how it was done during COVID-19 pandemic. Placing a limit on tourist flights will be met negatively by the public and will not be effective in fighting air pollution.
Second of all, limiting car use will be easier than giving up tourist flights. Nowadays this can be possible because there are a lot of alternatives to cars that fuel that can be introduce to public use. For example, people can be encouraged to use public transport to commute to work or companies can organise a corporative transport for employees to use to get to work and get back home after the shift. Moreover, major car companies introduce electric cars that have the same cost as fuel cars. This alternatives can help to decline the amount of greenhouse gases produced and is a sensible solution to air pollution problem.
In conclusion, despite the fact that plane flights contributes a lot to air pollution, it will be problematic to limit plane use amongst the public due to its convenience. Therefore, limiting car utilization can be more effectives as some alternatives are available to widespread use.
