The Replacement of Cars by Michelle Jo

The Replacement of Cars 


Among all the different ways to travel, cars are the most popular. However, there are many negative aspects to driving cars. What if we turn back the calendar to 150 years before. Can you imagine in a world with horses running in the road? There are several good reasons why horses should replace cars.

One reason that horses are good for us is by decreasing pollution. The horses decrease pollution by replacing cars that produce CO2 (carbon dioxide) in millions of different places. A car can produce around 8.2 kg per one gallon of gasoline. On average, that would be about 16,940 pounds a year.1. If we replace the car with horses, it would hugely impact upon us by reducing the amount of gasoline produced a year. Horses are also environmentally friendly. For example, while cars produce CO2, horses won’t produce any harmful gas. If cars are replaced, people will not breathe in polluted air.

Horses are also safer because they walk at slower speed than cars.  For example, if cars have traffic accidents, people have to go through many complex procedures afterwards. However, horses wouldn’t make that much problem for health related issues, and there wouldn’t be as many accidents as cars, because they are slower.

The last reason that horses should replace cars is that they are versatile in many different ways. For example, horses would walk around the road, while the cars would be jammed up together. Horses could walk between or around them because they are much thinner than cars. Also, young children could ride horses because horses are easier to manage than cars, and they would need to have licenses after 16. Horses also could travel anywhere, for example they could swim by running through low-level rivers. Therefore they could go through forests.

The negative aspects to driving cars could be improved by riding horses. Horses should replace cars because they are good for us in health care, traffic accidents, and are also versatile in many different ways. This eco-friendly way could be the solution for our earth.
