Pollution and damage to the environment always happen when a country grows and becomes richer, and these problems cannot be stopped. To what degree do you support or oppose this idea?

In recent times, a rising amount of developing countries around the globe have been observed to have neglected environmental responsibilities. From citizens littering to air pollution by massive factories, these issues are often overlooked when a nation grows wealthier.

Therefore

I admit that factories emit a large sum of pollutants, it is a necessary step in industrial economies. From manufacturing local goods to exports, all of which are crucial in boosting a nation's economy. Money is needed for survival in the modern society.

, some corporations voluntarily do exactly that. Take Vinfast, the largest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer in Vietnam. By making mobiles that depend fully on electricity, fume emission from traditional gas-fueled cars is completely removed. Eco-friendly lifestyles have been an up-and-coming trend too.

Compared to improving healthcare, road infrastructure or economic growth, the majority of governments are unwilling to invest a significant amount in environmental protection. Perhaps it is not too late to prevent global warming, a colossal disaster that would wreak havoc on planet Earth, or perhaps it has already begun. In conclusion, I strongly believe that we can still reverse environmental damage. The global lockdown from the COVID-19 pandemic has allowed nature to recover more than we could have ever done. If there is a leading nation in the right direction, more would perhaps follow suit, and the Earth will be greener than before.
