Economy vs Environment



In past centuries, people were not worried about the environment in the future and what the risk for humans would be for the natural world. Most people were thinking only to earn money which means developing the economy. In this argument, I’m going to discuss the economy and its effects on the environment.

People started to think of the environment in recent years, and as you know they are earning money from many sources. Cars are produced in factories, causing co2 to be released, at the same time harming the environment. Another example is when people cut trees to build houses or furniture; this also harms the environment. Nowadays, many people are considering that in future CO2 will increase even more because business people will increase the manufacture of those products as the population is growing day by day. Finally all of this will affect the ozone layer and also will cause global warming which could disturb the natural balance, leading to more extreme weather events like the volcanic eruption in Iceland or the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti.



Many people argue that their lifestyle is necessary for their daily life. I believe that our needs should not count for more than the environment because it will affect us in the long term. Therefore, we should produce in a way that doesn’t affect the environment as much like, using more public transport like the new metro in Dubai and hybrid cars which use electricity.

Thus it is possible to produce ethically without damaging the environment as much by limiting pollution.
