Economic growth v environmental protection

In the last century economic growth has increased rapidly, as the population increased around the world and this expansion will lead to greater environmental problems which are linked to human activity.
The economic growth is one of the greatest things which happens nowadays where people like to have a fashionable life, with good salary and a good healthy life but on the other hand the environmental effects should be considered where it will be affected by this growth. If the economic growth will mean improving the environment this is what most people want. Most people thinks nowadays about their children growing up in a better way of living unlike the old days. The problem is that, worldwide, economic development is harming the environment rather than protecting it.
However, there are a lot of disadvantages of this growth. Many scientists are warning that global warming will cause a real threat to our environment. Global warming is one of the consequences of the economic growth. The fastes growing country is China after that comes India. These two countries together have a population of over 2 billion approximately. They have seen a massive economic growth in the last few years. This growth alone will be enough to eliminate the environment. It is very difficult to control this growth since it began.

The growth in the economic development will affect the environment . However , this seems to be a hard problem that we are facing in the world today. The challengeis to produce ethically without damaging the environment so much by limiting pollution.
