On the Relationship between Environment and Economy
The two pictures above are both about the relationship between the environment and the economic development. In the first picture, GDP is on the rise while the environment is drastically polluted. In the second picture, economic efficiency progresses with environmental protection. It's easy to get the conclusion that development according to the second picture is more reasonable than that in the first one.
In the early stage of economic deverlopment, our country pay little attention to the: issue of environmental protection and savored the bitterness. Now, the government has taken many measures and is implementing the strategy of "sustainable development". One aspect of the strategy is to develop the economy and take measures to protect the environment at the same time: In this way, we can develop our country in a sustainable manner and our offspring can have enough resources to develop society. If we don't put much emphasis on the environment issue and excavate the natural resources blindly, our country will become a barren land sooner or later.
In a word, sustainable development is a reasonable strategy which should be implemented for a long time. The nature is providing us with plentiful resources generously,' but it may punish us severely if we don't care her.
