Environmental Protection and Economic Development

2020中国经济逆袭增长的原因英文作文do you agree or disagree with the following statement?governments should focus its budgets more on environmental protection than oneconomic development. environmental protection and economic development areboth vital to a nation. but when it comes to the issue whether environmentprotection should receive more financial support from the government thaneconomic development, my answer is positive. first, environmental protection needs more money thaneconomic development. the reasons are twofold. for one thing, governments haveto raise huge amount of money to purchase tree seeds or saplings and hire morepeople toafforestate the land. besides, maintaining a big area of forest isquite costly. for another thing, governments are responsible to spend muchmoney on encouraging the inventions of renewable energy, which may completelyreplace the fossil fuels and contribute greatly to the environmental protection.more inventions mean that the government has to invest more on scientificresearch, such as investing more on the university laboratories and paying thescientists. those are commonly huge costs for a government. in contrast,economic development does not need such large amount of money. what thegovernment should do is to continuously carry out policies that can really helpboost the whole economy and supervise and guide every individual economicparticipant. these will be some tasks that require lessmoney. second, it is the government that has to pay moremoney to protect our environment, because government acquisition of goods andservices intended to create future benefits. environment protection exertslong-term influences upon human beings and economic development. for example,protecting forests means we can have better air condition and more lumbersupply in the future; protecting lakes and oceans means we can have cleanerwater and more seafood. both lumbers and water are crucial to the modernindustry. however, it is barely possible for an individual investor to donateenough his income or savings to protect natural environment and consider thelong-term merits instead of their own short-term payback. admittedly, economic development does need money. itis because investment has been widely considered as a main stimulation ofregional economy. that happens repeatedly in the emerging market economy. oncean investment reaches a small open economy, the country may quickly thrive.however, those funding should mainly come from individual investors or bigcompanies. governments are not supposed to fill this role. as far as i amconcerned, a government should focus its budgets more on environmentalprotection rather than economic development.。

英语作文：经济发展与环境保护Economic development and environmental protection are a pressing issue primarily for developing countries where, in trying to catch up with developed countries, they have to consume natural resources on an unprecedented scale. This has seriously polluted our environment and, with the global environmental campaign gaining momentum, many people in China call for the precedence of environmental protection over economic development.Any attempt to pose economic development and environmental protection as diametrically contradictory is simple-minded. Since no country is willing to stop its economic development, the best way is to strike a balance between the two and to heighten the environmental awareness of those solely concerned with economic development.European countries both economically developed and environmentally friendly can serve as perfect examples for China. Their success story in both undertakings illustrates that environmental protection does notmean a complete standstill of economic activities or exploitation of natural resources, but rather an active development and application of effective technologies to minimize environmental consequences. In Germany, environmental protection has become part of economic development as it boasts the world s most successful environmental industry. With a developed economy, we are well equipped to develop sophisticated technologies that can effectively safeguard our environment.。
