With the development of modern transportation comes environmental problems. What possible solutions are there to these problems?

Globally, environmental issues have been on the rise in the

last

few years. The evolution of the transport system has impacted the environment significantly as well-. A number of solutions appear to be possible including the

use

of carbon-free

technology

, sharing scheme to name but a few. First and foremost, the issue of transportation affecting the environment can be tackled by using other means of

technology

such

as electric

vehicles

. The greatest benefit of using

this

technology

is the immediate reduction of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide which are major causes of pollution nowadays. To illustrate, the Department of environmental sciences in the UK published an article which states, the

use

of an electric vehicle can help reduce air pollution by 20%.

Therefore

, we must utilize and opt for more environment-friendly technologies.

In addition

, there are other remedies at our disposal to address

this

problem. One solution can be the

use

of a share and park scheme. If used frequently,

this

would lessen the overuse of cars and

consequently

help the climate. Another possible option could be the restricted

use

of

vehicles

with high emission levels.

For instance

, Italy has banned the

use

of all

vehicles

which do not conform to the standard of minimal emission level.

This

led to people using car-sharing and resorting to other means of commuting

such

as local transportation. As can be seen, the implementation of strategic initiatives and regulations can bring a positive impact.

To conclude

, advancements in

technology

, including the progress made in the transportation system, have affected the environment notably.

This

problem can,

however

, be dealt with by using efficient

technology

and more restrictive usage of

vehicles

.
