Should Private Cars Be Encouraged in China?
With the rapid development of economy in China, more and more people own their private cars. As the number of cars increasing sharply, especially in the past decade, problems have been brought about, such as air pollution, traffic jam in rush hours, big or small automobile accidents here and there. People start to consider whether it is good to have his own cars. Some people think that private cars make life more convenience , others believe that private cars should not be encouraged. As far as I concerned , I think owning private cars have more disadvantages rather than advantages.
First of all, as everyone knows, the air pollution has been very serious. Automobile exhaust contain many poisonous gases, and it is very harmful to our health. Second, private cars can be a formidable threat to the already-very-bad traffic. Can you imagine when the large numbers of private cars rush onto the street? If no effective measures are taken, people will spend much more time and energy on their way to work. And what’s more, too many private cars may cause more traffic accidents. As a result, the situation will be worsened and eventually people become victims of it. Next, parking will be another problem since there is not many space left in a large city. A report published by the MIT media lab states, “in congested urban areas, about 40% of total gasoline use is in cars looking for parking.”
So I think it is impractical to encourage private cars in China. We should limit the number of private cars; instead, we should encourage people to go out in a greener way. The government should put in more money in the development of public transportation system, and advocate people to take a bus or the subway when they go out. Where there is green out , there is green life.
