In my opinion, Health and Wealth both are important factors for human beings.

So, Economic growth helps people to improve their wealth and Ecological Protection helps to maintain good Health.

Hello, guys, I'm Shristi Sharma,

According to my perspective trade can help the poor in various ways:

• it creates more job opportunities for deserving (qualified) people and provides employment.
•it also helps the poor to get odd jobs like labouring, cleaning, etc. Whose wages are enough for satisfying their basic life necessities.
•it also helps farmers, as food processing industries are also a kind of business industries which are completely dependent on poor and small farmers. Thus, the farmers can sell their surplus production and earn enough money which is accessible.

Furthermore, trade makes a significant contribution towards empowering our country economically!

Ecology helps us by providing fresh air, water food and natural resources.

Economy helps in a nation's development by improve its standards, providing job opportunities, reducing poverty and improving living standards.

But if we fail to keep a check on the growth of economy, it can probably affect ecology by damaging ecosystem, climate change, which can lead to extinction of species, disruption of food chains which eventually affect the economy. In short, both have to be balanced for a nation's sustainable growth.

Ecological protection should precede economic growth because survival depends on a healthy environment.

The environment provides essential resources such as clean air, water, and food. Without these, human life would be impossible. Economic activities that degrade these resources undermine the foundation of human health and well-being. Protecting the environment often involves simple actions that everyone can participate in, such as proper waste disposal. Instead of littering, we can use designated bins, reducing pollution and maintaining cleaner public spaces. Poaching and killing animals for selfish purposes disrupt ecosystems and can lead to the extinction of species. We preserve biodiversity by leaving animals in their natural habitats, which is crucial for ecological balance and resilience. Environmental protection can drive economic growth by developing green technologies and sustainable products. Investing in renewable energy, for example, creates jobs and promotes a cleaner, healthier environment. Economic development is an ongoing process that should not come at the expense of our planet. If we neglect ecological protection, the resulting environmental degradation could lead to catastrophic consequences, ultimately hindering economic progress and potentially leading to the collapse of ecosystems that support human life. In conclusion, while economic growth is important, it should not overshadow the imperative of ecological protection.

In my opinion, economic growth and ecological growth are both important to live on the earth because we can be live better with good economy but if ecology growth will be destroy so noone can't be able so stay on earth because everywhere pollution is increasing, globel warming, flood, etc.
And mankind is not thinking about environment if everything will go like this everything will be destroyed.

There's a concept in Environmental Economics, i.e., Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) , which states that any developing countries at their initial stage focus on economic growth, but after a point when it reaches a satisfactory level of per capita income, people start focusing on the ecology, because that time their main focus is good health.

So, there should always be a balance in the economy.

Economic growth is essential for national development and improving living standards.

Job creation, increased volume, poverty reduction, and direct outcomes of robust economic growth.

A thriving economy attracts investments, fosters innovation, and enhances global competition.

Unchecked economic growth can lead to environmental damage, loss of biodiversity, and climate change.

Instances of environmental crises, such as oil spills and deforestation, underscore the consequences of neglecting ecological protection.

In my opinion, Ecological protection should always be the first concern. If we all just focus on the economic part of our world, that just proves how selfish and greedy we as human beings are.

I'm not denying that economic growth is not important, it has its importance. But if there's no importance given to Mother Earth, there's no point in just exploiting nature for our good.

I think we should work with nature and gradually increase our economy so all beings can live in harmony.

Because in the end, we're not the only living beings on this planet.

Economic growth and Ecological growth both are important because we are living on this earth with nature if we destroy it harming it, it will give us bad health, and climate disasters impact are economic growth also.

For example, earthquakes or tsunamis is there. Natural disasters impact economic growth so both are important but ecological growth is more important as health is everything, if you lose health you lose everything, if you lose money you can earn again but if a good environment is not there then how you will earn or survive?

In my opinion, both economic growth and ecological protection are very important for a country because economic growth maintains and helps the people's wealth and ecological protection provides us a good environment that helps for Peoples' health.
