some people believe that economic development should never be at the cost of the environment. they think the present serious environmental problems are largely caused by rapideconomic development. for example, land resources are shrinking because of the industrial development and the expansion of cities. deserts are spreading because of over grazing, poor fanning, tree cutting, and strip mining. our air and water supplies are being polluted by poisonous gassesand waste products. it is important, therefore, that we should take another look at the way in which our industries and cities are developing. however, other people think it unnecessary to consider

environmental problems now and our first priority should always be given to economic development. they believe that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development. they are only the by products of economic development, which can be dealt with later when we have the time and money.

i think the second idea is completelywrong. our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people. what is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environmentthere has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development.

wind blows up bags higher and higher in the sky. it is a scary thought that some day the earth will turn into a huge garbage land. wastes, if not treated properly, will make our life a living nightmare.

the environmental issue is getting worse almost every day in cities with very large population. as is often the case, city development outpaces environmental protection. people consume great amount of natural resouces and produce wastes. to effectively address such problems, cities need to spend big money. in addition, they need to call to the attention of people to become more environmentally responsible.

many people are becoming less responsible and easily influenced by bad behaviors. “why should i care while others don’t care?” such idea makes some people only concern with places where they live and work. furthermore, people sometimes even purposely litter for revenge to other people.

although media promotes environmental awareness, good people are often snubbed as posers who try to set up a superior image in real life. consequently, they are intimated of receiving negative comments for doing the right thing. wrong as it is, such phenomenon is widespread especially among youngsters and people with low income and little education.

however, our society is waging a campaign against environmental pollution. people learn the harms of undegradable lunch boxes and other polluting wastes. laws in many countries prohibit or limit excessive use of polluting bags. companies are continuely replacing the old materials with more environmental friendly and recyclable kinds. scientists have

developed more effective technologies in waste treatment. as time goes by, more and more people put high priority on the protection of environment for a healthier life.

to sum up, people produce huge amount of garbage and the environment is seriously polluted because of lack of financial resources, sense of responsibility, or efforts. but the world will not turn into a “throw away” society if people put in sufficient efforts to protect our environment.
