Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end world poverty and hunger. Others say that economic growth is damaging the environment and must stop now. Discuss both these points of view and give your own opinion.

is due to the fact that not only do factories produce a tremendous amount of emissions due to the increased production but
also

As a result
