Economic growth vs the Environment

by rishabh_95 (student)

INTRODUCTION

It is believed that both economic growth and environment cannot coexist peacefully i.e. in order to improve either of the two quantities, one has to be comprised upon. For example, if the environment has to be improved, then the economic growth of a nation will have to be compromised on and similarly, if economic growth of a nation has to be improved, then the environment will have to be compromised on.

CONCLUSION

If we change our mindset and consider ourselves as a part of the very ecosystem that we damage rather than masters of it, then we can expect a brighter future ahead. Through this approach, one can be more concerned about the environment and can be inspired to take the initiative and do his/her part to save the environment. Only then can the balance between economic growth and the environment in terms of utilizing and replenishing be maintained.
