第七单元环境保护Environmental Protection口译练习英译汉Passage 1To me, the most interesting and immediate question is not whether the United States will ratify the Kyoto Protocol, but whether other parties are prepared to work toward that goal. The next few months will determine whether other patties choose an agreement on their terms without the United States, or whether they prefer an agreement that may require some compromise of ideological positions, but will in fact be effective and will include the United States. //I believe the EU and others, for a number of reasons, will conclude that its interests and those of the environment lie in crafting an agreement that the United States can support. The United States accounts for approximately 25% of global industrial emissions. Any agreement that excludes the United States will not control global warming. In addition, European businesses may wonder why they are asked to assume significant new climate change obligations if U.S. competitors are not going to be subject to roughly the same rules. //I might note two additional factors relevant here: first, the idea of emissions trading is growing in popularity in capitals on the continent, and also in London and Brussels. Second, economists are warning that few countries, with the notable exception of the United Kingdom, are on track to meet their Kyoto commitments. I am hopeful that these forces will allow governments at COP-6 to mold the Protocol into a sensible, practical shape, one which the United States can support. //Let me say a word more about developing country's participation because this is an area where the United States is frequently misunderstood. The undeniable fact is that climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. To be sure, industrialization in the North contributed enormously to increased greenhouse gas concentrations. Developed countries, including the Untied States, must take significant steps immediately. //Acting alone, however, developed countries cannot stabilize global greenhouse gas concentrations. From a scientific standpoint, meaningful partic ipation by key developing countries is a necessity. Several large developing countries will soon become the world's leading emitters. Developing countries already produce 44% of global fossil fuel emissions. In addition, developing countries are responsible for a disproportionate share of deforestation and other land-use practices that have raised carbon concentrations. // Per capita energy intensity ratios in some, not all, developing countries continue to rise briskly, despite the existence of clean technologies that were not invented when developed countries were industrialized. In the immediate future, 80% of new electric power generation projects will occur in developing countries. All of us want those projects to use the latest cutting edge technologies. //I mention these facts not to bicker about past or future responsibility, for that detracts from our common cause of halting global warming, but to highlight the need for all countries to be a part of the solution. //In a very real sense, developing countries have the most to gain from an effective Protocol in which all the industrialized countries participate. For developing countries, unfortunately, have the least capacity to adapt to climate change. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations at acceptable levels and the harder these countries will be hit. // The 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change points the way: each nation shouldtake national and international steps commensurate with its capacity to contribute to the global solution based on the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities". // Many developing countries have taken significant unilateral action already. China, for example, has sought to conserve energy and reduce emissions growth while simultaneously raising living standards dramatically. Without price reforms and energy efficiency gains, China's emissions would be more than 50% higher than they are now. //We recognize, moreover, that some developing countries may lack the capacity to assume and implement legally binding emissions targets at this time. For these countries, other types of action would be appropriate at present. All developing countries should explore opportunities under the Clean Development Mechanism, adopt sound national policies on energy and land use, and pursue other climate-friendly measures under the Framework Convention. // The negotiating histories of both the Framework Convention and Kyoto Protocol demonstrate general agreement on the need to mitigate climate change while allowing for continued economic growth. The Untied States believes this formula remains the key to securing developing country action. Developing countries are finding in the Kyoto Protocol avenues to pursue their development and environmental goals simultaneously. There is a growing recognition of the potential of the Clean Development Mechanism to direct advanced technology and major capital flows to the developing world. //(Excerpts from "Under Secretary of State Loy on Kyoto Protocol" made by former Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs Frank E. Loy to American Bar Association Conference) Passage 2Just a couple of days ago, climbers, backed by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), returned from the Himalayas, where they gathered first-hand accounts from monks, local people and other travelers on the state of the environment of the world's most famous mountain range. They have recorded in words, in photographs, and on film, the dramatic impacts that global warming is having on glaciers, causing them to rapidly thaw, and build up melt waters in mountain lakes. As a result, these lakes could soon burst, sending millions of tons of water and rubble swirling down the valleys threatening life and limb. // The expedition has also looked at the impacts of tourism on the mountains, concluding that much of what is happening is environmentally damaging, and a burden on the people, wildlife and landscapes of these once pristine wilderness areas. //Every year World Environment Day is an occasion to pause and reflect on the state of the environment. This year especially, faced with the findings of our climbers, in the International Y ear of the Mountains, I urge you to "Give Earth a Chance". I ask you to look at our daily impact on the planet and its peoples, and to take action to improve our environmental behavior. // Although mountains have been revered since time began, such beliefs are no longer enough to preserve fragile mountain ecosystems, for the well-being of all. We face an immense challenge, the challenge of ensuring their stability and preservation for the generations to come. // Mountains are our water-towers. Mountains are a major source of energy. Mountains feed those living on them. Mountain ecosystems are linked to life in the lowlands, to freshwater and to the seas. Mountains are islands of rich biological and cultural diversity, home to unique plants, animals, languages and traditions. //Sustainable development is a must. We need to combine the environmental dimension with social activity and economic development. This must be our common target, especially inmountain regions. Without sustainable development we cannot solve the problems. It is not enough to simply say we have a conservation plan for nature, and natural resources. // We must give people a chance to live and survive in these regions, therefore we need jobs; we need a perspective for young people to remain there and not go to the big cities. Mountains are virtual treasure chests of untapped economic potential—vital to sustainable development. This was recognized by the Earth Summit in Rio. //Mountains attract tourists, but tourism has to be well managed to minimize impact on sensitive mountain environments. Respect should be the byword of the tourists, and tour operators, that bring people into contact with local people and landscapes, //The respect includes paying local people a decent wage, sourcing local food and materials where possible, and observing local customs, beliefs and traditions. Tourists are guests in other peoples' ecosystems and should behave as such. Mountains as a resource HA VE to be valued, and some of that value has to benefit mountain dwellers. Earnings from tourism should be shared equitably between all stakeholders. // Especially this year, the International Y ear of Ecotourism, every effort should be made to promote Ecotourism in mountains. For some communities and regions, sustainable tourism can be a first step towards sustainable development. Let us hope that all societies will come to revere mountains, and thus be motivated to invest in them, preserve this unique asset, and in turn reap benefit from it. //On this World Environment Day let us all begin to act for the conservation not only of the mountains, but the sea, the land, water and the air too. Let us act to give the Earth a chance. An unpolluted pristine environment is vital to our survival, a precious resource, which will only endure if we Give Earth a Chance. //"Give Earth a Chance" by of UNEP former Executive Director Klaus Toepfer on the occasion of World Environment Day 5 June, 2002)Passage 3The issue of climate change is now very, very critical indeed. Let me try and explain to you frankly what I see, from the policy-makers point of view, as the two difficulties we've got to overcome and how we overcome them. //The first is that I think there is a clear recognition round the world now that something is happening to our climate—people are experienc ing it and feeling it. Nonetheless, the timeframe over which some of these things are going to impact is certainly beyond any very short-term political cycle, and often stretches significantly into the future. That's one issue. // And the other issue is that there has grown up round the world, a debate, that sometimes I think takes place on a quite false basis but nonetheless is there, that somehow there is a trade-off between economic growth and environmental protection, so that if we improve the protection of our environment, we may inhibit our ability to grow and to enjoy rising living standards. // Now each of these two issues has to be confronted. How do we do that, is the real question. The first is how do we get the world to think long-term about this? We have to continue to build a very strong base of support and agitation for change, not just in the political world but in civic society as well. I think that is enormously important, the pressure on this has got to come on governments from people, not merely on governments from their own internal mechanisms. // We are committed to the Kyoto Protocol. We believe it is essential that we have that implemented. We in our country will abide by our Kyoto targets, but I just want to make one point to you. When I asked for an analysis to be done by David King and his colleagues of what the truescale of the challenge was, we learned that even if we were to implement the Kyoto Protocol, it falls significantly short of what we will need over the next half century if we are to tackle this problem seriously and properly. //So even, and this is a tall order in some ways at the moment, if we succeed in getting support for the Kyoto Protocol, we are still, even having done that, only in the position of having achieved a first step. It will be an important recognition, but it is only a first step and we need to be building a clearer understanding of the fact that even with Kyoto we are still a long way short of what we actually need to do. And we've got to build support in the political institutions of which we're a part in order to make sure that case is properly understood. //I think we have to make sure that this occupies, as an issue, a central place in political decision-making beyond any election or parliamentary cycle. It's beyond the life of any government. It's beyond the life of any passing political phase. It has to be there, c entral in the politics of each country, built up not just from support within government, but from support within civic society over a period of time. //The second point is about the conflict between the supposition that we need to grow continually and that we cannot grow unless we degrade our environment. That is the importance of a Climate Group that involves not just states and cities but also business so that there are practical, clear examples of how good environmental policy is also good business policy and is right for growth. If you look in the 12 years 1990 to 2002, we in Britain cut our emissions by about 15 percent whilst we were growing at 30 percent. It is possible to do. //Showing that cities and states and businesses can do good environmental policy and actually reap an economic benefit is enormously important because that debate about some supposed trade- off between environmental protection and economic growth is still there. We may all, in this room, believe that that argument has been resolved long ago, but I can tell you there is a large part of business and many countries that still see that trade-off existing. //(Excerpts from UK Prime Minister's speech on climate change delivered on April 27, 2004) Passage 4That brings me to my final point, which is how do we help give the Climate Group the focus that it needs. I think one part of this is that you provide us with a lot of information, the detail, the examples, the living proof, of what good environmental policy can achieve. That is one important part. //The second thing is, that we use, as our country, our position in every way we can to push this agenda at a senior level. I've already said that for Britain's chairmanship of the G8 next year, there should be two issues for us: one is Africa, the other is climate change. Now I think it is important that we take a clear case on climate change to the G8 next year. I'm not saying it will always be easy, but it's important that the case is made, and I think that will give a focus to the efforts that are being made by this group and by others, not just in this country, but elsewhere in the world. //So I wanted to come and participate in the launch of The Climate Group for a very simple reason. When I first became Prime Minister, I obviously had a certain instinctive position about this issue and we as a political party coming into government had certain policies about it. But one of the first things I did, which is one of the advantages when you come into government, is that instead of having a small research group somewhere with people doing this as well as half a dozen other things, you can mobilise some of the best scientific minds and research that there is and Isaid, look, give me the facts. The interesting thing that came back to me was that the facts and the research indicated that this problem was, if anything, greater than I had realised //I don't think, as I said before, there is any bigger long-term question facing the global community. This group will be one part of a set of relationships and groups and a movement worldwide to make sure that we treat the issue with the seriousness that it deserves. One thing for sure is this, if you talk to any group of young people in our country or anywhere else today, they realise its importance. They want us to act upon it, they know sometimes it will involve difficult decisions, but the cost of not acting in this case is so overwhelmingly greater than any short-term cost of action, that we have to act and we have to act now. //So I'm delighted to be with you all this morning and I wish you the very best of luck with The Climate Group, I think it's a very, very important initiative. I am delighted to see so many people from different parts of the world that are here today. This is an issue that will carry on dominating our agenda but hopefully with your help, it will dominate the agenda of the global community in the years to come. //(Excerpts from UK Prime Minister's speech on climate change delivered on April 27, 2004) 汉译英第一篇到1999年春季，美国环境保护署和中国国家环境保护总局(SEPA)的官员签订了一个协议备忘录，建立了两国在排污权交易和酸雨控制方面的双边示范项目。
雅思议论文作文：科技与发展Development and Technology
雅思议论文作文：科技与发展Development and TechnologyThe rapid pace of development is damaging our environment. Some people say the answer is for all of us to lead a simpler life, but others say that technology can help solve our environmental problems. What do you think?快速的发展正在破坏我们的环境。
有人说这是让我们所有人过上更简单的生活，但也有人说技术可以帮助解决我们的环境问题。
你怎么看？Our planet is definitely suffering from the effects of seven billion people. Is the answer to go back to living in villages and farms, or is it to find new technological solutions for our problems? In this essay, I will say why we need to consider both these options.我们的星球肯定正在遭受70 亿人的影响。
是回到乡村和农场生活，还是为我们的问题寻找新的技术解决方案？在本文中，我将说明为什么我们需要同时考虑这两种选择。
Technology by itself cannot solve our environmental problems. First of all, it is neutral, neither good nor bad: Only the user can decide how it is to be used. Secondly, it is difficult to imagine in advance how new technology can be used, or misused. For example, if we learned how to produce endless cheap energy, would the results be necessarily all good? A third point is that technology generally belongs, at least at the beginning, to the rich and powerful, who use it for their own ends.技术本身并不能解决我们的环境问题。

环境保护与经济发展之间的关系英语作文
环境保护与经济发展之间的关系英语作文The Relationship Between Environmental Protection and Economic DevelopmentIntroductionEnvironmental protection and economic development are often seen as conflicting priorities. On one hand, protecting the environment is essential for the health and well-being of current and future generations. On the other hand, economic development is crucial for improving living standards and reducing poverty. Despite these seemingly conflicting priorities, there is evidence to suggest that environmental protection and economic development can go hand in hand. In this essay, we will explore the relationship between environmental protection and economic development and discuss ways in which they can be mutually beneficial.The Impact of Environmental Degradation on Economic DevelopmentEnvironmental degradation, such as air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change, can have serious consequences for economic development. For example, pollution can harm human health, reduce agriculturalproductivity, and damage ecosystems, all of which can have a negative impact on economic growth. Climate change, in particular, poses a significant threat to economic development, as it can lead to more frequent and severe natural disasters, disrupt agriculture and water supplies, and increase the spread of diseases.In addition to the direct economic costs of environmental degradation, there are also indirect costs that can hinder economic development. For example, environmental degradation can damage a country's reputation, leading to reduced investment and tourism. It can also create social unrest and political instability, which can further impede economic growth.The Benefits of Environmental Protection for Economic DevelopmentWhile environmental protection can be costly in the short term, there are also many long-term benefits that can support economic development. For example, investing in clean energy and sustainable agriculture can create new industries and jobs, stimulating economic growth. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are becoming increasingly competitivewith fossil fuels, and investing in these technologies can help reduce energy costs and increase energy security.Environmental protection can also improve public health, leading to a more productive workforce and lower healthcare costs. By reducing air and water pollution, for example, countries can prevent illnesses such as respiratory diseases and waterborne illnesses, which can drain resources and reduce productivity. Protecting ecosystems and biodiversity can also have economic benefits, as healthy ecosystems provide essential services such as clean water, air, and soil that support agriculture, tourism, and other industries.In addition, environmental protection can help countries adapt to the impacts of climate change and reduce the risks associated with natural disasters. By investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, early warning systems, and disaster preparedness, countries can reduce the costs of responding to disasters and rebuild more quickly after they occur.Policies and Strategies to Promote Environmental Protection and Economic DevelopmentTo promote both environmental protection and economic development, countries can implement policies and strategies that support sustainable and inclusive growth. For example,countries can set clear environmental standards and regulations to reduce pollution and prevent environmental degradation. These regulations can create incentives for businesses to invest in cleaner technologies and practices, while also protecting public health and the environment.Countries can also promote green industries and technologies through subsidies, tax incentives, and other financial mechanisms. By supporting the development of renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and other green industries, countries can create new opportunities for growth and job creation. Investing in research and development can also help drive innovation and increase competitiveness in these sectors.In addition to government policies, businesses, and individuals also have a role to play in promoting environmental protection and economic development. Businesses can adopt sustainable practices and technologies that reduce their environmental impact and improve efficiency. Consumers can also make choices that support the environment, such as buying products that are produced sustainably and using resources efficiently.ConclusionIn conclusion, environmental protection and economic development are not mutually exclusive goals. By promoting environmental protection, countries can support economic development, improve public health, and build resilience to climate change and natural disasters. By implementing policies and strategies that support sustainable and inclusive growth, countries can create a win-win situation where both the environment and the economy thrive. It is essential that policymakers, businesses, and individuals work together to address the challenges of environmental degradation and achieve a sustainable and prosperous future for all.。

As the world continues to face environmental challenges such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution, it is essential for individuals, communities, and governments to work together to protect our planet for future generations.One of the key ways to protect the environment is by promoting sustainable practices that minimize harm to the ecosystem. This can include using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, reducing waste and recycling materials, and conserving water and natural resources. By adopting these practices, we can decrease our carbon footprint and lessen our impact on the environment.In addition to individual action, governments also play a crucial role in promoting green development. Policies and regulations can be put in place to encourage businesses tooperate in an environmentally friendly manner, such as implementing emissions controls and promoting eco-friendly practices. Governments can also invest in green infrastructure projects, such as public transportation and renewable energy, to reduce pollution and promote sustainable development.Education and awareness are also important components of protecting the environment and promoting green development. By educating the public about the importance of conservation and sustainability, we can inspire individuals to take action and make a positive impact on the environment. This can be done through school programs, community outreach, and public information campaigns.Overall, protecting the environment and promoting green development is essential for ensuring a sustainable future for our planet. By working together to implement sustainable practices, governments, businesses, and individuals can help reduce our impact on the environment and create a healthier, greener world for future generations.篇2Protecting the environment and promoting green development are two critical tasks for the sustainabledevelopment of our society. The environment is the foundation for our survival and well-being, and it is crucial that we take proactive measures to protect it for future generations.One of the key ways to protect the environment is to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy sources. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are a major contributor to global warming and climate change, which have far-reaching and devastating effects on our planet. By investing in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and decrease our carbon footprint.Another important aspect of protecting the environment is to safeguard our natural resources and biodiversity. Deforestation, overfishing, and pollution are threatening the delicate balance of ecosystems around the world, putting countless species at risk of extinction. To address these issues, we must prioritize sustainable practices that promote the conservation of our natural resources and the protection of biodiversity.In addition to these efforts, it is essential to raise awareness and educate the public about the importance of environmental protection. By fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardshiptowards the environment, we can inspire individuals and communities to take action to protect our planet for future generations.Ultimately, protecting the environment and promoting green development is a collective effort that requires the cooperation of governments, businesses, and individuals around the world. By working together towards a common goal, we can create a sustainable future for our planet and ensure a high quality of life for all. Let us all do our part to protect the environment and promote green development for a better tomorrow.篇3Environmental protection and green development have become increasingly important issues in today's world. With the threat of climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation looming over us, it is imperative that we take action to safeguard our planet for future generations.One of the key ways to protect the environment is through sustainable development. This means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. By adopting sustainable practices inareas such as energy, transportation, and agriculture, we can ensure that we are not depleting our natural resources or causing harm to the environment.Another important aspect of protecting the environment is reducing our carbon footprint. This can be done through a variety of ways, such as using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, reducing our consumption of fossil fuels, and promoting energy efficiency in our homes and businesses. By lowering our carbon emissions, we can help mitigate the effects of climate change and reduce our impact on the environment.In addition to sustainable development and reducing our carbon footprint, conserving natural habitats and biodiversity is also essential for environmental protection. By preserving forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems, we can maintain the balance of nature and ensure that species have a place to thrive. Protecting biodiversity is crucial for the health of the planet and can help prevent species extinction and ecosystem collapse.Overall, protecting the environment and promoting green development are essential for ensuring a sustainable future for all. By taking action now to reduce our impact on the planet, we can create a healthier and more sustainable world forgenerations to come. Let us all work together to protect the environment and support green development for a better tomorrow.。
经济发展优先还是保护环境优先英文作文
经济发展优先还是保护环境优先英文作文全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1In my opinion, economic development should come first before protecting the environment.First of all, economic development can bring more job opportunities for people. When the economy is strong, more companies will be established and more jobs will be created. This can help reduce poverty and improve people's living standards.Secondly, economic development can provide more resources for environmental protection. With a strong economy, the government can invest more money in measures to protect the environment, such as building more recycling facilities, promoting clean energy sources, and implementing stricter environmental regulations.However, this does not mean that we should ignore the importance of protecting the environment. It's also important to find a balance between economic development and environmental protection. We can promote sustainable development, which means using resources in a way that meetsthe needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.In conclusion, while economic development is important for improving people's lives and providing resources for environmental protection, we should also pay attention to protecting the environment for the sake of future generations. It's important to strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection to ensure a better future for all.篇2As a primary school student, I think both economic development and environmental protection are important. We need to find a balance between the two so that we can have a better and sustainable future.On one hand, economic development is crucial for a country's growth and prosperity. It creates jobs, boosts industries, and improves people's standard of living. With a strong economy, we can invest in education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which are essential for our well-being. Without economic development, we may not have the resources to address social issues and improve our quality of life.On the other hand, protecting the environment is also crucial for our survival. Our planet is facing many environmental challenges such as pollution, deforestation, and climate change. If we only focus on economic development without considering the environmental impact, we may harm our planet irreversibly. We need to preserve our natural resources, reduce waste, and promote sustainable practices to ensure a clean and healthy environment for future generations.In conclusion, both economic development and environmental protection are important. We need to prioritize both and find ways to achieve sustainable growth. By investing in green technologies, promoting conservation, and raising awareness, we can create a better world for ourselves and our children. Let's work together to build a prosperous and green future for all.篇3In my opinion, it is important to prioritize both economic development and environmental protection. It is like balancing on a seesaw, you can't have one without the other.On one hand, economic development is crucial for a country to grow and improve the quality of life for its citizens. It createsjob opportunities, boosts businesses, and increases the overall wealth of the nation. However, economic growth should not come at the expense of the environment.Protecting the environment is equally important as it ensures the sustainability of our planet for future generations. Without a healthy environment, all the economic development in the world will be meaningless. We need clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and fertile soil to grow our food.Therefore, we should strive to strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection. We can achieve this by implementing sustainable practices in industries, promoting green technologies, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting our planet.In conclusion, both economic development and environmental protection are essential for a prosperous and sustainable future. Let's work together to find solutions that benefit both our economy and our environment.篇4In my opinion, I think that we should prioritize protecting the environment over economic development. The environment is very important because it provides us with clean air to breathe,fresh water to drink, and beautiful nature to enjoy. If we don't take care of the environment, then we will run out of natural resources and harm the health of people and animals.One reason why we should protect the environment is that it is essential for our health. If we continue to pollute the air, water, and land, then people will get sick and animals will suffer. For example, if we cut down all the trees in the forest, then we will have more carbon dioxide in the air, which can cause respiratory problems and climate change. We need to protect the environment so that everyone can stay healthy and live in a clean world.Another reason why we should protect the environment is that it is important for future generations. If we continue to destroy the environment now, then there will be nothing left for our children and grandchildren. We need to think about the long-term consequences of our actions and make sure that we leave a beautiful world for the next generation to enjoy.In conclusion, I believe that protecting the environment should be our top priority. We need to take care of the earth so that it can continue to provide us with all the resources we need to survive. Let's work together to protect the environment and create a sustainable world for everyone. Thank you.篇5I think economic development and environmental protection are both important. But if I have to choose one, I would say environmental protection should come first.First of all, protecting the environment is important because we only have one Earth. If we don't take care of our environment, we won't have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, or a healthy planet to live on. This is super important for our future and the future of our children.Secondly, if we don't protect the environment, it can affect our economy. For example, if we keep cutting down trees and polluting the air, it can lead to climate change which can cause natural disasters like floods and droughts. This can damage crops and homes, leading to loss of money and jobs.On the other hand, economic development is also important because we need money to live and make our lives better. But we should find ways to develop our economy in a sustainable way that doesn't harm the environment. For example, we can invest in renewable energy like solar power and wind power, which are good for the environment and create jobs.In conclusion, I think we should prioritize protecting the environment because it is the only way we can have a healthy planet to live on and a bright future for ourselves and future generations. Let's work together to protect our environment and build a better world for everyone!篇6When it comes to the debate of whether economic development should be prioritized over environmental protection, I think both are important, but if I had to choose, I believe that protecting the environment should come first.First of all, our planet is our home, and we need to take care of it. If we don't protect the environment, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat could all become polluted. This would not only harm our health, but also the health of future generations.Secondly, without a healthy environment, our economy will suffer in the long run. A damaged environment can lead to natural disasters like floods, droughts, and wildfires, which can have a devastating impact on businesses and communities. Investing in environmental protection now can actually save usmoney in the future by preventing these disasters from happening.Lastly, taking care of the environment can also lead to new economic opportunities. The growth of industries like renewable energy and sustainable agriculture can create jobs and stimulate economic growth, while also helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.In conclusion, while economic development is important, we must prioritize protecting the environment for the sake of our health, our economy, and our planet's future. Let's work together to find a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability.篇7Economic development or environmental protection, which one is more important? Some people may think it's better to focus on developing the economy, because they believe it can bring more jobs and wealth to people. But I think it's also very important to protect the environment, because we need clean air, water, and soil to live a healthy life.First of all, let's talk about economic development. When a country develops its economy, it can create more jobs for people.This means more people can have a stable income and live a better life. Also, economic development can bring wealth to the country, which can improve people's living standards. For example, new businesses can bring new products and services to people, making their lives more convenient and enjoyable.On the other hand, we should also pay attention to protecting the environment. The environment provides us with clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and fertile soil to grow crops. If we destroy the environment, we will suffer from pollution, natural disasters, and even health problems. For example, if we cut down all the trees, there will be no more oxygen for us to breathe. If we pollute the water, we can't drink it anymore.In conclusion, both economic development and environmental protection are important. We should find a balance between them. We can develop the economy in a sustainable way, which means we can create jobs and wealth without harming the environment. We can also protect the environment by using clean energy, reducing waste, and planting more trees. By working together, we can build a better world for ourselves and future generations. Thank you.篇8Hey guys, do you know what's more important, economic development or protecting the environment? Let's talk about it!Some people think that economic development should come first. They believe that by focusing on growing the economy, we can create more jobs, improve our standard of living, and make our country stronger. They say that without a strong economy, we won't be able to afford to protect the environment in the long run.On the other hand, some people think that protecting the environment should be the top priority. They argue that if we don't take care of our planet, we won't have a healthy place to live in the future. They believe that we need to invest in renewable energy, reduce pollution, and conserve our natural resources to ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.In my opinion, I think that both economic development and environmental protection are important. We need a balance of both to ensure a bright future for everyone. We can work towards growing our economy in a sustainable way that doesn't harm the environment. We can invest in green technologies, promote recycling, and protect our forests and oceans while still creating new opportunities for growth.In conclusion, let's work together to find a way to prioritize both economic development and environmental protection. By working together, we can build a better future for ourselves and for the planet. Let's make sure that we leave a healthy and thriving world for the next generation to enjoy!篇9Once upon a time, there was a big debate going on about whether economic development should be a priority or environmental protection should be. Some people said that economic development is super important because it can help make our lives better. They thought that creating more jobs and making more money was really cool and we should do everything we can to make that happen.But then there were other people who said that protecting the environment was actually more important. They thought that if we didn't take care of the earth, there wouldn't be anywhere for us to live in the future. They believed that we needed to stop polluting the air and water, and start using renewable energy like solar power and wind power.It was a really tough decision to make, but in the end, everyone realized that we actually need to do both. We can't justfocus on one thing and ignore the other. We need to find ways to make money and create jobs while also protecting the environment.So, we all decided to work together to come up with solutions that would help us achieve both goals. We started using technology to reduce pollution and waste, and we started investing in green industries that would create jobs and help the environment at the same time.And you know what? It actually worked! We found that when we put our minds to it, we can make a real difference in the world. So, let's all remember that economic development and environmental protection are both really important, and we need to give them both the attention they deserve. Let's work together to create a better future for all of us!篇10In my opinion, both economic development and environmental protection are important, but if I had to choose one to prioritize, I would say that protecting the environment should come first.The environment is where we live, and if it becomes polluted and damaged, it will affect our health and quality of life. Forexample, if we continue to pollute the air and water, we will suffer from respiratory problems and other health issues. Protecting the environment means ensuring a better future for ourselves and the next generations.On the other hand, economic development is also important because it helps improve our standard of living. However, this should not come at the expense of the environment. There are ways to promote economic growth without harming the environment, such as investing in renewable energy sources and promoting sustainable practices.In conclusion, while economic development is essential for progress, protecting the environment should always be our top priority. We must find a balance between the two in order to ensure a sustainable future for all. Let's all work together to create a better world for ourselves and future generations.。
