The ｉｓsuｅ of how eｎviｒonmental pｒotｅcｔｉon and ｅconｏmiｃ deｖeｌopmｅnｔ ｉｎteｒrelａｔe is ｈighly ｄebatabｌe ｉｎ ｒeｃent yearｓ。 Sｏme peｏple hｏｌd the ｖiｅw that the developmeｎt oｆ ｅconomy sｈoｕld be put ｏn the fiｒsｔ plａｃe ｆoｒ thｅ growtｈ of the ｃｉty． Others maiｎtaｉｎ thaｔ ｇovernmｅnts shoｕld ｉnvest ｍore ｉn ｓolving enviｒoｎmｅntａl iｓｓues ｉｎ ｔhｅ ｌong ruｎ. I aｇree with tｈe latｔer oｐiniｏｎ for tｈe three ｒeasons listed beloｗ.
Ｔo beｇｉn ｗｉtｈ， a ｇovernmｅｎt ｉｓ ｓuppｏsed to tａke it iｎto accoｕnt ｔhat a ｃｉtｙ'ｓ ｄeｖeloｐment ｓhoulｄ be sｕstainabｌｅ。 Thａt means enｖiｒｏnmentａl protｅｃｔｉｏn wｉｔhｏｕt which tｈe pｒogｒesｓ of a citｙ will coｍe to aｎ ｅnｄ iｓ a cruciａl part ｏf ｔhe city’ｓ develｏpmeｎt. Takｅ ａ cｈｅｍicaｌ factｏrｙ near my school for example。 Ｉn the ｐasｔ, it wｏuld rｅleaｓe grｅenhouse gases ｉntｏ ｔhｅ atmosｐhere aｎd ｐour waste direcｔｌy into ｒｉｖers， ｗhich cｏntriｂuｔｅd to glｏbal wａrming ａｎｄ lｅad to the ｃｏntamiｎaｔiｏn of the water soｕrce. As ｔime went by, the ｅｎｖironｍent near ｔhe faｃtorｙ ｒｕinｅd ｒapiｄly ｗhich ｃompletｅly prｅvented ｔhe ｆacｔory from dｅvｅloping. Ａｓ a rｅsult， the factｏry ended up ｗｉｔh closiｎg doｗｎ． Thiｓ could ｈａve been ａvoｉded if the faｃtory realｉzｅd the importａnce of enviｒoｎmeｎtal proｔeｃｔion．
Secoｎdlｙ, eｎviroｎmeｎｔal ｐｒotecｔiｏn wｈｉch creates an eco-friｅnｄly areａ wheｒｅ resiｄeｎts’ mental hｅａlth is weｌl ｐrｏtectｅd proｍoteｓ the stａbilitｙ of tｈe wｈｏｌe society. Oｂviｏｕｓly, withouｔ ｓome dｅgree ｏf eｎvｉｒonmｅntal saｃrifｉｃｅ eｃonｏmic ｄeveloｐment can hａrdly be mａde． Thus, ｈuge damage to ｔhe enviｒonment aｓ weｌl as ｈuman beingｓ will be ｄone ａｓ ａ ｒesuｌt of thｅ fａｃtorｉeｓ’ and gｏveｒｎment’ ｎeglecｔ. Ｔｏ ｂｅ specｉfiｃ, faｃｔｏｒies that dump toxic waste inｔo ｔhe surroundiｎｇ ｒegioｎ's maiｎ wateｒ supply ｗｉll ｃauｓe dｉsease anｄ othｅr heａltｈ defｅcts of ｔhe ｃitizeｎs ｌivinｇ in tｈe arｅa． Furtｈermore， tｈe local heaｌthｃaｒe sｙｓtem is going ｔo be buｒdened ａn inｃreaｓｉn
