dilemma between blind pursuit of higher economic growth and protecting our environment

To improve economy or to preserve nature?

I believe that there should be a balance of both. Businesses require the land taken up by forests and reserves for factories, offices, shops, restaurants and other usages. However, there is limited land use and a conflict of interest. When we clear out land, many flora and fauna are killed. There will be land, water and air pollution and the surroundings of the factories will be undesirable for living.

However, commercial buildings are needed for the country's economic growth to allow trades between other countries and business. If there are no businesses, people will also lose their jobs and there may be an economic crisis.

There is great importance in both economic growth and the environment. We should do our part in protecting the environment but not just totally give up on our economy.
