According to me, economic as well as ecological protection should be going hand in hand. Economics, commerce and infrastructure are there if we keep our ecosystem away from natural, human intervention which keeps it at constant jeopardy, or risk levels.

When I hear this topic, what first comes to mind is Beijing. Even though it's a good and modern city, it is notorious for it's pollution. The excessive industrialization of course lead to economic progress, but also it badly affected the environment. It's one of the most air polluted city. And it's badly effecting the people, plants and animals.

But yes, economic growth is very important and if we show too much concern about the environment, our country will lag behind. But you know what happens if imbalance happens in nature. It may lead to health problems, or excessive rain, drought or even earthquakes. So it's pretty obvious that these economic growths and ecological protection should go hand in hand. So it would be more meaningful if we discuss how can we achieve this.

One of the biggest pollutions of India is river pollution, especially the Ganges. What is causing it? obviously, the industries lying in the river basin, religious rituals performed on the river basin, temples and high population. Many of these can be prevented by creating awareness. Industries are letting their wastes without proper treatment. Why it's happening? most of the industries will have waste treatment plants, but to run this electricity is needed. You know about the electricity in states like UP. So, if we provide good and cheap electricity, it will really help.

And another main reason for air pollution is coal thermal plants, and vehicles. So we should give more importance for generating electricity by solar plants, wind plants and using hydroelectric plants. And vehicles is the number one reason for air pollution in cities, so there should be a big growth in producing electric vehicles soon.

And if you know, global warming and all affects all nations. So here the developed countries should contribute more for environmental protection while developing countries should be given little concession.

According to me.

Ecological protection is more important than economical growth. Because as we known that the biggest wealth is our health.

And health is from ecological protection.

It doesn't mean that economical growth is less imp, both must be taken before any decisions.

But major priority must be given to ecological protection.

We should go ecological for economic development.

In my point of view, both are important because when the ecological balance is stable in our country then people of our country is more able to participate in the development of economic growth & when economic growth is in good condition then people would be in good condition to maintain ecological balance.

In my perspective, ecological growth plays a vital role in our society rather than economic growth. In short, all that green is actually our wealth.

As India is a developing country, India needs to more industries, factories, etc to increase its economic growth, economic growth leads to provide employment which reduces poverty in our country,

But due to industries environment will be affected which is harmful for the health of human being, animals, plants etc. "HEALTH IS WEALTH" so the economic growth is important if it will be done by concern with ecological growth.

As from my perspective, ecological growth should be given more importance as it will help us to save the natural resources and gives the fruitful result, which will automatically help to increase the economic growth.

Economic growth is totally depended upon Ecological protection, If we ignore ecological protection then air, water, farming and rain all these vital parts of human survival will be effected adversely. Sustainable development is only way to reach highest level of economic growth and happiest human life on this planet.

According to me, economic growth and ecological protection both these issues are co-related and one can not neglect anyone to sustain other. No doubt economic growth is a need of the day to solve the burning issues like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy etc. At the same time, we shall not allow deforestation to promote economic growth. The land which is not fertile and remote from the human habitat should be captured for industrial development and the number of trees cut down for the purpose of industries should be replanted to compensate the loss of trees. This strategy will definitely improve the scenario of deforestation that is taking place under the name of industrialization.

In my opinion, if economic growth and ecological protection are balanced then only we can see the survival of mankind in the future.

Hello everyone.

The opinion on this topic should be pretty obvious. Ecological protection and economic growth are directly proportional. Ecological protection means protecting the nature by making people respect the natural surroundings and also make them aware of the dire consequences of not preserving nature. Economic growth means increase in the capacity of the economy to produce goods and services. Now, among the factors leading to economic growth, natural resources is one of the factor. Efficient utilization of natural resources, like, land, air, water, minerals etc can boost the economic potential of a country. More we use the natural resources efficiently, lesser will be the chances of a country to face scarcity of resources at times of emergencies. Hence, this will lead to better productivity and satisfaction of human wants and needs.
