Some people think that economic development is the only way to end poverty while others believe that it is causing damage to the environment and so should be stopped. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There are people who believe's that there is only one way to overcome the poverty
that is
with economic development, but there are others who think,
instead
of helping it is harming our
environment
and that should be put to a full stop. In
this
essay I would like to express my point of view and provide with suitable examples.
Firstly
, In our present generation every country wants to grow and develop. To achieve
such
target they develop new technology and new infrastructure and many new thing's and to make them we need many different resources. To full fill their objective they destroy all the resources to achieve it.
For instance
, many tress is cut down to build new roads, high skyscrapers, which is overall affecting our
environment
and even pollution,
air
for making electricity and using the huge
quantity
of oil and other all raw resources.
Secondly
, We use
this resources
Suggestion
these resources
this resource
without even thinking twice, but he forgets that they are in limited
quantity
. By using them in large
quantity
we harm our
environment
which later will affect us back.
For example
, due to high rate of wood cutting many animals lost their house and many of them are going instinct and as well as it affect our
air
, there will be not long when we won't have fresh
air
to breath and our planet will be doomed. To summarize, Economic development is essential, but we should not neglect and destroy our
environment
. If we are cutting down trees or using any resources we should
also
prevent them,
for instance
, if we use wood and we should plant them back as well to not affect our livelihood. For the other resources as they are scarce should be used in limited
quantity
or we should use alternative
such
as, solar power systems, so that we it will keep our
air
clean and
also
preserve our resources.
