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 must be stopped. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some

people

believe that

poverty

and

hunger

can be reduced by economical

growth

, whilst others have an opinion to stop the economic

growth

as it harms the environment. While I understand

people

’s concern about environmental damage, I still believe to get rid of

poverty

and

hunger

economic

growth

is needed. There are multiple reasons why

people

support the ban on economical

growth

.

Firstly

, owing to industrial

growth

, air and water pollution levels are shooting.

For instance

, recent surveys depict that industrial waste is one of the main reasons for polluting clean water resources.

Moreover

, carbon emission has been at its peak in the

last

decade due to the rise in the number of industries, which is essential for the

economy

.

Secondly

, deforestation, which is done to provide space to industries, is

also

a huge problem. Cutting down forests results in hampering the water cycle. Floods are

also

a result of these deforestation activities.

For example

, North-east India is facing devastating flood situations as the result of deforestation in the Himalayas. These points make

people

believe that economical

growth

has a bad impact on the environment. Despite these causes, I still believe to end

hunger

and

poverty

strong

economy

is vital. To start with, economical

growth

leads to hundreds of job openings, which is quite essential to fight against

poverty

. If

people

are earning well, it will be easy for them to provide with the basic needs of their family. Recently, Amazon has declared to open a warehouse in Orissa creating thousands of jobs in the state.

In addition

to

this

, a rising

economy

will help to provide more funds for deprived masses. To explain, Navin Bharat is one of the central government schemes in India to provide cheap food and accommodation to poor individuals.

Hence

,

growth

in the

economy

is thought to be the main solution to these situations. In conclusion, while

people

side with the idea to stop economical

growth

, I am in favour of boosting the

economy

to end

poverty

and

hunger

.
