People Should Stop Driving Cars So Often

By Tori

In my opinion, people should stop driving cars so often, because it can causes global warming, pollution, and it can also cause accidents because of the fog in the air. As I’m sure you can see, driving causes many problems, and to prevent them, people should drive less.Driving less would make you safe and everyone else around you, so driving so often is a bad idea

I know you’re thinking, you need cars to get around, but driving them constantly might cause accidents. For example, there is a deer and her doe crossing the street an oncoming car does not see them then BAM!!!  Dead deer. Another example is you crash and hurt trees when you are not paying attention or when there is fog in the air, and that’s dangerous because it hurts you and the trees and you do not want to hurt the trees because they are good for the environment you live in, and they’re also essential to humans. Especially the fact that many of them many are cut down. Lastly, it can hurt people. Once, when my friend Ambika was walking on the crosswalk when there was a green pedestrian symbol (that means cars stop and people walk), this woman driving her car and talking on her phone and did not notice the red light and the people crossing the street. Then all of a suddenly the front of the car hit Ambika. She was knocked unconscious for a bit, but she wasn’t hurt, and thankfully she did not get run over.

I believe that, people should not drive cars so often because driving causes pollution. Pollution is harmful some plants because some plants only take carbon dioxide this gas or pollution causes trees and plants to shrivel and die because they can’t digest it to help make food. Also it hurts animals when they breath the pollution in it clogs their lungs then they can’t breath then they... you know (die). Equally important, it causes us humans to cough and sputter and we are forced to wear nose and mouth masks to prevent it from getting in our lungs and infecting us the pollution in some places like singapore it can get over 200 PSI.        

It seems to me, that you should not  drive cars so often because it causes global warming. From 1880-2009 the world has gone 2 degree C. higher. I researched that when the extra heat goes to the ocean water it makes it warm and that bleaches the coral reefs and kills them. All the fish living there have to move or they’ll die because the coral reef is gone and there is no food, and when fish swim up from the middle water for a bit of food they get hurt from the extra heat. Furthermore, too much heat can cause plants to shrivel and die just like pollution can, but those plants give us fresh oxygen for us which is very important. In addition, the icebergs are melting making sea levels rise eventually covering some islands into sea. Moreover, the rising sea levels also cause floods in the arctic when penguins usually lay their eggs, sadly causing most of the eggs to rot. I asked 15 people if they agree that people should stop driving cars so often for this reason and all 15 agreed.

On the whole, people should stop driving cars so often because of those reasons. If we do did scientists could use more plants that are affected by pollution to find cures (for example: cancer) instead of having to leave them to give us oxygen. Without a doubt if they treated this place and cared and stop driving so often every animal will have home. If they did all this our world would be a happier, safer, and healthier place to live, work and play. We could enjoy the place that we were meant to treat, and treasure.
