Traffic fuel costing is always the top of people’s concern. Some argue that it can be an effective way to impose an increase in this source of spending due to the environmental maintenance process. I agree that a higher cost of fuel can partly deal with environmental pollution for some reason, but this solution can even lead to varied burdens for residents.
Expensive fuel costs can help with environmental problems in some ways. First, it causes a decrease in gas emissions. Commuters will consider using alternative transportation like public transport or their businesses’ shuttles instead of their private vehicles to save most of their fuel income, which can keep more cars, releasing much C02 into the air, off the road. Next, the government will have an extra fee for early implementing some environmentally friendly projects like electric vehicle manufacture. Finally, high petrol prices can pave the way for improving and using biomaterials, and open a future of less dependence on fuel.
Despite those potential benefits, as the expenditure on petrol rises, individuals will be negatively affected. People, especially the poor or middle class, can confront financial stress. All types of transportation costs will go up, accompanied by an increase in goods and services spending. To meet basic demands in life and afford most of the domestic bills, residents will have to work harder and find themselves under more pressure, which in the end puts them into health problems. Therefore, to successfully apply the project of high petrol cost, both the government and employers need to come up with support for their workforce.
In conclusion, although the proposal to make an increase in fuel price can positively improve the environment, human beings are capable of suffering from money-relating problems without the help of authorities.
