In-universe, there is only one planet where humans life exit, that's planet is known as "EARTH". Only because of Earth's nature or it's ecology or environment human life exist. All of us a better life and we make our life with help of both economic and ecology. Many of peoples think they buy some part of ecology with their economy but they don't know they were gonna to miss pure nature. Economic is also important without it, we even not imagine our life how it become.

Take a smart step just like in your home left some space for gardening, always try to use fresh vegetables. The government also takes many steps for improvement of our ecology like "Swachh Bharat". It's necessary to save our ecology because when nature come to show her disaster, don't care about economy, it destroy everything even we can't imagine about that. All the earthquakes which were occur it's only because of us. Today everyone want to increase their growth rate or economy rate and make their life simple and lazy. With the help of devices which we make with the help of economy we get find out whatever is the origin of cyclone or earthquake, but if maintain our earth in stable mode earthquake occur but not in a large amount which happened in May 2015. "Health is Wealth" everyone hear about it, but health come from where, it's come only with the help of our nature, environment and ecosystem.

Good morning friends. I would like to put my observations with a practical approach.

Both Ecology and Economy are equally important to mankind and we can not choose one above the other. First, we must understand that the global population is increasing every day and to meet sustainably and remove poverty, extreme hunger etc. Economic growth is important through industrialization for producing more food, roads and bridges, modes of safe and rapid transportation, health and hygiene, etc. While this is a priority, we can not cause ecological damage. So attention must be there to encourage green technology which includes solar, wind hydel, etc. for the generation of power to run the wheels of the industries; use of clean fuel like electricity from green sources, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels, etc for transport mobilities. To promote recycling of waste, proper effluent treatment, and water harvesting methodologies in urban areas/cities. To increase dependency on agro-based industries for mass production of food and sustainability of livelihoods. To promote afforestation, prevent rampant fishing and recycling of plastic wastes etc.

IF we follow the mantra of Refuse- Reuse -Recycle and focus on green technology, both ecological protection and economic growth can be addressed simultaneously and make our life comfortable and sustainable along with mother nature.

I believe that ecological protection is more important than economic growth because if there is no ecological protection then how we can grow economically. Nature give us everything to grow economically whether it is related to infrastructure, education, development etc. Everything in this universe is directly or indirectly related to Ecosystem. But nowadays humans go on destroying the nature for their purpose without being aware of that that this will become bane for future generation. Pollution and shortage of natural resources are two big environmental issue in India due to deforestation and wastage of natural resources by people. There are so many awareness program conduct by the government to heed people about shortage of natural resources, consequences of deforestation etc but still people don"t want to understand it, their mindset like that "ki hum kyu kare, hamare ek ke krne se kya hojaega ". Indian citizens have on major drawback that they don't want to take the initiative of doing anything till it related to their benefits only. If we don't respect nature then how we can expect nature respect us. To be honest, In India, there is a economic growth but there is not a single development in the field of ecological protection. Government should take the necessary steps and should be made strict laws against environmental problems.

Every country is ranked on the basis of its economic status, it's ecological property etc. But which one should be given a preference to another? In my opinion, ecological growth should be a more dominating factor.

Every nation is made of its people, however, the Mother nature and its participants cannot be overlooked- the wildlife, the forests and other natural resources. They have been playing an indispensable role in maintaining equilibrium and allowing us to survive.

Secondly, some of our ecological resources serve as renewable sources of energy- for example, the Tehri Dam in Uttarakhand, which is responsible for providing a large amount of electricity to various states. It itself contributes to the economic growth of our nation.

Moreover, I also feel that having a good ecological diversity near country borders can be an effective shield against terrorists who have a major hand in ruining the economic growth of a country.

Economic growth is a superficial criterion, if there is no ecological protection, there would be an ecological imbalance, and hence a peril to human civilization. When there is no human civilization, how can there be an economic growth?

In fact, I must say that economic growth depends on ecological protection, a hence the latter must be given a higher priority.

Good Morning to all of you.

Acc to my points, Ecological protection is much important then economic growth, As economic growth is increse the capacity of economic to produce goods and services and measures by GDP and GNP this increasse our economic growth but we all know if we work on increase economic condition rather than ecology protection, so it will harm our environment and causes hazardess condition and reiuned our resources, So guys its our duty to protect our environment rather then improve economic growth.

As we earn money and spend and again we earn as a repeated cycle, but if our natural resources finished there is no source to recycle or recover. So its our duty to save natural resources because this is very benifical for our genration as well as future generation so use in a very helpful manner.

At last, I would like to say that Ecological growth is more important for us So prevent it and use it according to their requirements because economic growth can be improve automatically as we save our ecological resources.

I would also suggest you some tips to prevent our ecological environment.

1. Plant more and more trees.
2. Reduce Deforestation.
3. Use Ecofriendly system.
4. Use 3 are system.

Thank you so much guys.

The very first thing which needs to be recognised is economy and ecology are relative as a matter of fact, alteration in one will have its effect on other. Though in my opinion preserving ecology should be given greater priority because-.

-> Many countries have climate based sectors as the backbone of an economy. An Environmental phenomenon like climate change can prove havoc to countries like India where agriculture contributes significantly towards GDP.

-> Economy depends on nature ability to provide resources and if pollution is hindering its ability to do so then it can be catastrophic to the human race. In fact, climate change has potential to send us into one of the biggest recession.

-> U. S. In 2016 saw 20 extreme weather events which cost them more than 30 billion dollars.

-> Climate change will cost Canada in billions due to climate change as it will affect Timber industry.

> Economical development is closely associated with infrastructural growth which has been one of the prime reasons behind deforestation which releases thousands of tonnes of carbon di oxide into atmosphere.

Hi, everyone.

In my point of view, the word "eco" is clearly relating to both ecology and economy. When we want to grow in the economy then we have to need to in the growth in ecology also for maintained balance between both for developed our nation.

Because the economy is an asset then the ecology is an aspect in which our country should develop.

We know our country is developing then we have focused on the economy more but little bit we also thinking about our ecology system otherwise imbalance in them have affected our infrastructure, lifestyles and we also polluted our earth.

I have to take two examples, like Japan the have one of the best economic structure and poor ecology structure.

And other is USA which have maintained both economy and ecology structure therefore it is clean and developed and powerful one.

So for developed our nation we have to focused on cleaning at beginning and after improving economically for made our India developed and strong.

Lastly, we can say that if a country ith economic growth and ecologically downfall is like a soldier without weapons.

Thank you.

India's economy is emerging economy. It will still take thirty to forty years for our country to come under the category of developed nation. But in my opinion, I think that without conserving our ecosystem and environment, we will never become developed.

In India, more than 75 percent contribution comes from agriculture sector alone. Major population are still working on field and if in any circumstances if we disturb our environment, we will face heavy losses in our GDP which is the main indicator of economic growth. Similarly, nowadays there are various incidents of tiger poaching, people are poaching elephants for ivory and many similar incidents. But they are not understanding that if they disturb even any linkage of the life cycle, it is going to have very negative effect on our ecosystem. Industries release several harmful gasses for which we require an efficient ecology to reduce its ill effect. So ecological protection is a way more important than economic growth. Once we start protecting our environment, economic growth will rise on its own.

Economic growth does not have to come at the expense of the environment. Sustainable technologies are also extremely beneficial to the economy.

For example, the solar industry has employed over 500,000 people in the last few years. In the same time period, the coal industry has produced less than 100,000 permanent jobs.

New technologies such as hybrid and electric cars provide much more opportunity for economic and environmental growth than all non-sustainable transit technologies using only fossil fuels and less efficient, more polluting means of transportation using only the internal combustion engine to burn gas.

The same is true for every technology that uses renewable energy instead of dirty fossil fuels. The economy grows more, less resources are used, the environment is saved and more energy efficient products are produced for the good of society.

Therefore, it's really a false question. Economic growth ONLY TRULY happens when sustainable technologies are used, which promote both environmental growth AND environmental protections.

Hello everyone.

Both economic growth and ecological protection is important. We should follow sustainable. Development that means development of country without harming the environment.

Economic growth is important of any developed countries. It creates employment and growth of country. But ecological protection should be alse taken in mind. It should be balanced.

Due to rapid economic development like good infrastructure, road, building etc we are cutting lot of trees & this cause global warming. Due to disbalance of ecosystem we are suffering from unexpected climatic change, lack of drinking water.

So we should use limited resources carefully. Also we can use hydro, solar, geothermal, wind energy to form power. Government can create awareness among people to grow more plants and save planet Earth. People can also use rain water harvesting techniques and plant more trees. It's not only governments responsibility to protect ecology but every individual can contribute to save planet Earth.
