People are divided on the role of economic

development

. Some opine that it is essential in addressing poverty, whereas others say that it should be stopped as it is causing irreversible damage to the

environment

.

This

essay intends to analyse both perspectives. I personally believe that both arguments have waited as poverty has to be mitigated, but saving the

environment

is

also

equally important. So, we have to look into methods of Sustainable economic

development

. Stopping economic

development

is not the way out. It is irrefutable that by the

forms a very small part of what is used on a significant scale. Effluents from large factories are being dumped indiscriminately and landfill sites are filling up with non-biodegradable wastes. All

is being done in the name of

progress

. Looking at both arguments, it is clear that with economic

development

, the damage to the

environment

is Inevitable. But, we cannot put a halt on economic

progress

because the status of the underprivileged has to be improved.

Therefore

, we have to look into methods by which we can achieve

progress

without damaging the

environment

.

For instance

, we know that there are renewable sources of

energy

which are less polluting. So, the answer lies in the green technologies, which increasingly use renewable resources of

energy

. We should

remember the three "Rs" - reduce, reuse and recycle.
