Should the government focus more onpreserving nature environment and less on economic development? (08.1.12)
1. Environmental problem threaten our life.
2. Environmental problem is impairing theeconomic development.
For recent decades, environmental problemis more severe and now it is a global threat. Pollution in river, soil andocean hasundermined our physical or even mental health, as well as so-called
prosperity. It is the very time, that we and our government shouldpay more attention
to those pressing environmentalproblem. Politicians must think of sustainable development rather than economicexpansion.
Firstly, our planet, the earth, is subtlychanging to a non-habitable planet. Since the industrial revolution, manyhazardous and lethal compounds have been created and disposed into atmosphere,river and soil. As a result, tremendous creatures were extinct, and theendangered species list is growing exponentially. Sooner or later, the lastbone of the dominoes, human race, will fall down in a chain reaction. It isobvious that only those environmental problems, such as global warming, ozonehole and potable water scarcity, be solved, or we could not find any clear andsafe place on earth.
If we and ourgovernment are still careless about the environmental protection, and hungerfor the illusion of prosperous economy, the day of judgment will coming soon.
A common misconception is that economicaldevelopment should be treated as first priority, and other problems will besolved when we reach the high prosperous economic state. Unfortunately, this isjust a modern myth. Ironically, the environmental problem has impaired ourso-called prosperous global economy. According to research by Americanscientists, the fundamental industy--agriculture, suffering slow productivereduction. This phenomenon is a result of the underground water levelirreversible decline. What is more, to bolster up the manufacture industry, more and more croplands were coveredby biofuel plants. However, it is frustrated to say; only one-gallon biofuel becreated by the cost of half-gallon gasoline or diesel. Worse still, thoseactions heighten the risk of famine. Those inconvenience facts will harm globaleconomy, and finally bring down our social civilization. If those predictionsbecome facts, for our government and us, that is too late to handlecatastrophic environmental and economic consequences.
In conclusion, because both of people’shealth and global economic structure are impaired by environmental problem, itis recommend to us and our government that the first need of all is pollutioncontrol and we cannot equate economy growth with goodness. Unless we stopabusing our vital life-support systems, they will fail. We must maintain them,or pay penalty.The penalty is death. |
