Damage to environment is an evitable consequence of the improvement in
the standard of living. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
position?
The improvement of people's living standard owes too much to the rapid
development of science and technology. However, people nowadays are
confronted with so many problems, such as the deterioration of
environment, air pollution, and the exploding expansion of population.
Some people claim that the damage to environment is an inevitable
consequence of economic development. From my point of view, this is only
an excuse for ignoring environmental protection.
In order to make more profit, some manufacturers and factories are only
keen on the pursuit of profits, caring nothing about the protection of
environment and the recycling of waste water. For example, many people
now possess a private car, and the ownership is increasing tremendously
each month. The exhaust gas and irritating noise impair people's health
greatly. The prosperity of economy is obtained at the cost of people's health
and the damage to environment.
The lack of awareness of environmental protection is another factor causing
damage to environment. Some near-sighted local governments are only
concerned about economic development but pay little attention to
environmental protection, misunderstanding that economic development
says for their achievements and that environmental protection only wastes
money.
If people and the authorities concerned have a long-term developing
perspective, I think the damage to environment is avoidable. Along with the
development of technology and people's living standards, the government
should take effective measures to handle the problems arising. Meanwhile,
the manufacturers and factories should consider not only economic profit
but also social benefit. If the government and people can join hands in
solving environmental problems, we will enjoy an azure sky and flower
fragrance in the near future.
