These revolutionized days are providing immense benefits to the nations towards their advancement. Therefore, to keep their pace, people prefer to have their cars these days. Undeniably, this is fortunate for them, but this concept imposes devastating impacts on the ecosystem. 

To start with, gone are the days when cars came under the category of luxury items since cars have become an absolute need in modern days. Moreover, plenty of youngsters work around the clock, and hence, prefer to have their vehicle as it is convenient and time-saving. Further, a personal vehicle is quite beneficial in case of emergencies. Many a time, it so happens that someone in a family falls sick or gets injured in an accident, and the hospital is far away. In addition, personal cars provide more security and safety along with privacy. For instance, during COVID-19, people used their cars to stay away from the crowd and infection. Thus, personal cars deliver an abundance of benefits. 

On the one hand, cars are friendly for individuals; however, on the other hand, their effects on this environment are unfriendly. In brief, I am of the opinion that these machines run on fossils such as petrol and diesel that exhaust carbon atoms in this atmosphere that make the surroundings warmer. Similarly, one day will come when battery-operated cars will swap engine-operated machines, but what about the conversion of green jungles to concrete ones in the name of road construction. Every year, millions of trees, meadows, and forests surrender their lives to urbanization. Yet another reason is that undeniably green vehicles have been introduced working on batteries, but in numerous nations, electricity is being produced using fossils that pollute the environment at jet speed as well. 

To conclude, buying a car has become an indispensable task for people owing to enormous profits. But, the coming generations will have to face dire consequences of this as the environment is being degraded at an alarming rate. As a result, I assert the disadvantages to the ecosystem outweigh the advantages for society.
