One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a cars uses in several years’ time, but they cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, environmental pollution is one of the global issues that there are several critical reasons causes to it, for instance transports fuel consumption. One long-distance flights’ air pollution by planes is equal of any vehicles’ atmosphere contamination for a year. A number of individuals believe that society ought to not make using of airplanes for unnecessary trips, instead of restrict cars. Personally, I partly agree with this point of view because planes are one of the accessible transport that we can reach any destination for short time. It is obvious that the harmful substances emitted by the aircraft are the same as the pollution of the car during the year. But the convenience of long-distance flights are more reachable than other types of transport, because, one of the reasons for this is time savings. If we utilize of vehicle to visit long distance destination, we should pass a number of countries, where, due to queues and some breaks we can lost much time. For instance, two years ago I have travelled to Turkey by my private vehicle, which is took 2 days to reach Istanbul, although by plane it takes 2 hours 30 minutes. On the other hand, there are a group of people who argued restriction of flights, mostly prefer to travel by the ground transports. They claim that less utilizing of aircraft and preference for vehicles can have a positive effect on reducing air pollution. In conclusion, although air pollution is higher for aircrafts than other vehicles, it still retains its relevance as a primary and fast transport.
