Protecting the environment is much more important than a healthy economy
I strongly agree with the above statement because we need a reasonably clean and healthy environment to support human life. Also, for a healthy economy we need to be able to produce fundamental resources such as food that are not polluted. Without the basics neither the economy nor humanity will survive. Realistically however, I don't think we'll ever give the environment the priority it deserves. Humans only seem to think in the short term, both in regards to the environment and the economy. When we talk about an ‘economic crisis’ it is usually about how rich companies are losing money at the moment. That is their concern not the environmental consequences of their actions.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting opinion. I agree with you that the environment is important, but I don't agree that people only think in the short term. I think more and more businesses are thinking about the environment and trying to do things better.
