Economic growth is more important than Ecological protection

Hello everyone.

Economic growth and ecological protection are two sides of a coin we should not neglect any one of these. Both are equally important for the development of our country. Economic growth means development of our country which includes better education, implementing smart cities, industrial revolution etc. Whereas in other hand ecological growth means we have to preserve the flora and fauna, forests. Where we have to make our nation better place for their livelihood. Economic growth leads better employment opportunities boosts our economy at the same time we have to contribute to the ecological protection which reflects our tradition and culture etc.

Hence, I conclude that economic growth and ecological protection should be equally balanced.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, in my point of view economic growth and ecological protection are two leaves of the same branch. We can not accept just one of them by neglecting another one. The Economy is the fuel of a country. Economic growth states the production (agro and industrial) , the better living condition of citizens, health, education, employability. Where ecological protection defines protecting the nature for making this world a better living place for not only human but also other creatures on earth. So for making a better economy, we cannot destroy the nature by polluting it constantly. Using the earth's natural resources especially as fuels to our industry, we come to an alarming level to use these anymore. Global warming is the main concern of all the countries worldwide. India plays a vital role in thus regard. All the countries now shifting from fossil based fuel to renewable energy source. We are using sunlight as a major source of energy recently. This also creates a big scope for new industries. We are trying to convert all power generation systems to run by solar power. Govt has taken various steps toward this. Because the growth of a country is only possible if this earth remains as a place to habitat. Continuously using earth's resources and polluting the land and river makes this world a worst place to live. The Level of carbon mono oxide gas in the air has increased at such a dangerous point that people especially children are suffering from various heart and lung disease. Smog has become a common feature of all metro cities around the world. Villages will no longer safe from this unless we stop right now. If we cannot live in this world then what is the use of economic growth or making luxurious products.

Economical growth leads to future generation with good facilities, infrastructure and so on to developing our country economically higher level without affecting ecologically. Ecology is protection of environment with an sustainable manner. Economic growth is interlinked with Ecology. Economically affecting the environment leads to natural hazards such as earthquake, cyclone and so on, it will endangerous to our developing on it. Natural resources is an gift of god we want to use it with protective manner.

In my thoughts both economic growth and ecological protection are important. Economic growth will lead to our better future in form of money, infrastructures and basic facilities but on the other hand, if we are protecting our ecosystem it will help in our better future in form of better health, low diseases and a better environment to live. So, protecting the environment in order to increase economic growth should be done.

The first priority of nation should be SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

Hello everyone,

No, I completely disagree with cited statement. Economic growth is important to eradicate poverty, improve infrastructure, for the growth of the nation but not at the cost of exploiting our natural resources and not saving enough for our future generations to survive.

We need to develop strict laws for maintaining ecological heritage of our country. Moreover, we've already experienced the hottest summer across the globe. This is an alarming state where we need to secure our ecological heritage rather than focusing on the development.

Hi guys,

This is Monu.

As per my opinion, both are same & equal because both are attached to each other, yes economy growth leads to the development of the standard of the living of people. Suppose guys if have to live in corruption, a polluted environment so why we can not say both are equal yes we can say both attached.

Like, if we want to achieve to higher and long run economic goals. So we will have to do by simultaneously in a planned way.

And another thing is that, if we want to grow the economy, for that we have to need growth in ecology.

I have two examples like.

- Japan have one best economic structure and poor ecological structure.

- USA which has maintained both economy growth and ecological protection also, and the USA is clean and development & powerful one.

Yes, it's true that economic growth is more important because if an economy is developed then the mind of people is developed too. Economic growth is related towards the development of the country.

It is very relevant topic in today world of industrialisation because without taking much consideration on or without following the norms related to the environment, we are just thinking about economic growth blindly which I think is a big mistake. So, there must be established a well check and balance condition. We should first make the norms in favour of the environment and let make aware every one of these rules so that by following the norms we may proceed further for economic growth. Thank you.

According to my opinion, economic growth of any nation is vital but apart from these it also vital to protect the environment. It is possible to do these two thing simultaneously thus only we need careful and innovative ideas.

In today's, fast growing global economy, economic growth of a country is very important to keep pace with global market. But keeping environment at risk to achieve growth would not going to work for long time.

Economic growth leads to development of standard of living of people but it has no meaning if you have to live at polluted environment. So I think both has equally importance and we can achieve higher and long run economic goals if both are done simultaneously in a planned way.

Reclamation work done by tata steel at noamundi iron ore mines is a great example of sustainable mining.

As original forest cover is still existing even after 25 years of mining operation by plantation and water harvesting system. Modern technology can be used for both economic growth and ecological protection.
