Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use.

In our days the use of cars has increased and spread rapidly.I am inclined to believe that we should all attempt to use other means of transport too,and this is ought to be encouraged by new state laws.

Using alternative transportation,such as public means of transport,solar powered cars,hybrid cars,bikes oreven walking,brings many advantages both to the people and to their surroundings as well.Firtsly,walking or cycling helps us to lose weight and to become active and healthier.What is more, the extreme use of cars results in the pollution of the atmosphere and the environment;by decreasing this use,we can avoid all kinds of pollution.Additionally,more expenses are generated when we use cars,because of fuel taxes or car damages.For example,commute to work by bus because it is cheap[er and I do not have to spent my time on searching for a parking lot.

Concerning legislature,I agree with the introduction of new laws.However,we must not suggest extreme solutions.For instance,the cars must used in moderation.Apart from that, I think that every family ought to have a specific number of cars; in other words, the number of the existing cars must be reduced.Thirdly,another feasible and effective solution is to limit the access to the towncentre by banningcar circulation in certain places or on certain days, as dictated by other European countries' policy.

Taking everything into concideration,We should promote alternative transportation and suggest new laws in order to stabilize the rate of car usage.Apart from that,if we manage to change our mentality,the world will become a better place to live in.

    I disagree, NO, we should not. What is this? Where is freedom in this? More laws, more taxes? Those laws will forbid things? I say, enough! Don't you think there isn't enough laws as you call it. Why are these people trying to control everything?

    One should be free to choose what transportation method to use, despite beeing a bike or a SUV.
