Good morning council members. I would firstly like to thank you for your time today. How many of you own a car? As expected each and every single one of you do. Being members of the 21st century, the invention of cars was undoubtedly revolutionary. However, upon my own further inspection, I have concluded that cars are a curse in disguise. Cars are a commodity nowadays with even teenagers around the world having access to one. Formerly, the use of public transport in the advanced country, the UK, has declined from 80% in 2001 to only 32% in 2021. This occurs because our public is foolishly unaware of the atrocities that cars cause. Each day, 500 million tonnes of pollutants are produced from cars. CO2, NO2, CFCs you name it, cars produce it. This occurs despite our government spending billions of taxpayer's money on improving the functionality of public transport systems in our country. It is immoral and nonsensical for cars to damage the nature of our world - that was here before us - purely for luxury and status. We must anything and everything in our power to improve, promote and create public transport. Our nation can no longer afford to waste money touching up a facade of sustainability. The main reason for cars to be used, according to a survey conducted by Transport for London, is that "Cars save transport time as they are readily available for use." Yet, the irony behind this is foolishly conspicuous and clear; the more that cars are used, the greater the congestion and traffic on the roads! If every single person owned a car, our road systems would have to be utter perfection or no one would get anywhere on time. Alternatively, wouldn't it be much simpler for trains, trams and buses to be made more reliable? If every single person used one of these modes of transport, there would be virtually zero traffic. Traffic is not just a nuisance in today's society; traffic is a hellish weapon. The police get almost 10 reports for an accident occurrence on a main road every day. Unfortunately, humans are selfish, restless and resistant. So, yes, if one road-rage driven truck driver will miss his delivery deadline, hewill go 10 miles per hour over the limit, he will turn around bends recklessly, he will crash into a family car of four killing all but one child. These cars that we rely on so much, bewitch us to the point that we have the ability to choose efficiency over safety: we choose efficiency. Ruminating on topics such as these causes me to mourn the path of development that our country has beligerently ignored. But, all is not lost! Everyone who stands in front of me at this moment can make a change. Sure, you are just local council members, not Prime Ministers, but why not set an impeccable example to other boroughs. Recently, I was fortunate enough to work with top-of-the-notch data analyst who work with supercomputers. We ran a projection of where no cars existed - only public transport did. Unbelievable. It predicted a 75% decrease in CO2 and NO2 emissions worldwide. Less than 2 reports of an accident would be made per year. Surprisingly, our world is uncomprehensibly better off without pernicious cars. The real question now is: "Can we truly get rid of all cars?" Practically, not for many decades, but if you all before me start making change now, we will at least be able to start repairing some issues. Less pollution emissions and less accidents. Thus, I urge you to heavily discuss this topic amongst yourselves. My name is [insert my name], thank you for listening.
