What do you think?   Security cameras have become ubiquitous in many nations now-a-days.

The best way to solve the world ’ s environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Millions of threats have entrapped our earth in these days. And pollution is one of the leading threats to our planet. Thousands of endeavored have been made to sort out the problem of pollution till today. Yet we have not got hundred percent success. A large group of people believe that hiking fuel price can be the best solution to protect the environment.

However, it would not help with other major problems such as land pollution, ov...
