Do you think getting rid of cars would get rid of noise and air pollution in cities?

Although pollution is a major issue in today’s society. When it comes to banning passenger cars and forcing people to walk, and etc. I think that person should use hybrid cars instead because they don’t put out as much pollution as a regular car and they run on electricity. At least that way people could still ride around in there car and have less of a harmful impact on the environment and they wouldn’t be forced to use public transportation or ride a bike or something. Also hybrid cars are virtually soundless so noise pollution is something you wouldn’t have to worry about owning one.
For the people who believe that all the noise and air pollution is just because of the cars only then they are sadly mistaken. In my opinion that although cars do cause some of the air and noise pollution in our cities that all the blame shouldn’t just be put on them. I think that because most of the pollution may come from big name gas companies, coal production plants, air traffic from airplanes, factories, trains, and ships that come in and out of our ports. Most of them actually cause the noise and air pollution we so desperately talk about.
I think that the government should step in and make all the real major pollution causers do something about the issue. For example they all could use cleaner and energy conserving engines that would cause way less damage to our environment and world as a whole. Instead of trying to place all the blame on cars in the city when all theses other factors contribute way more to the problem then them. I think that if you were to make people stop using there vehicles that it would cause chaos because most people would not agree with the rule. They would use there jobs, and other important aspects of there life as a reason why they wouldn’t stop driving there cars. But I understand that some people are just lazy and that would be there reason why they would continue to drive their cars if u made it a rule not to drive them.
I think that if for some reason that cars are the problem then we should use green technology to improve our cars and make them more environmental friendly. I feel that we should use green technology like solar panels for solar power to run our cars and all the buildings in the city so they could contribute to getting rid of the problem of pollution. If we just used power like wind power, and natural gases that are harmless and that never run out for the environment that pollution would be a issue of the past.
Even though pollution of whatever source kills many people each year. It gives people with to much exposure cancer, lung issues, and other major medical issues that can be life threatening. Pollution is one of the top issues that I agree we should focus on and get rid of. But in my opinion getting rid of cars isn’t the way to solve it when there are so many other bigger contributories to the problem and not make them suffer any consequences.
