Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end hunger and poverty, while others say that economic growth is damaging the environment so it should be stopped. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is often argued whether economic

development

is a positive trend or not. Some people consider it as the only solution to hunger and poverty, while others, who want to stop

such

growth, blame it for environmental degradation. In my point of view,

although

both sides have their own grounds, I believe we should not stop the economy from developing. On the one hand, it is undeniable that industrialization brought about detrimental effects on the

environment

. To be specific, in order to maximize profits, millions of factories skipped restrictions on waste treatment, discharging tons of contaminants to the water body every day.

Furthermore

, economic

development

comes along with an increase in people’s needs. In the past, every family only owned one to two

cars whereas

cars, whereas

at present, the affordable prices of private means of transportation allow everyone, even teenagers, has their own ones.

This

results in a large number of cars being used every day, which emit air pollutants into the atmosphere and heavily damage the

environment

.

However

such

drawbacks, economic growth plays an important role in ending hunger and poverty. In undeveloped countries, for the time being, there are hundreds of

Moreover

, I believe only when people escape poverty do they start having serious considerations of global issues

such

as protecting the

environment

Therefore

, economic

does not totally have negative effects on the

environment

. In conclusion, while the growth of the economy may have harmful impacts on the

environment

should be encouraged.
