On the Relationship between Environment and Economy

It is reported that monitoring data showed the Air Quality Index in most parts of Beijing reached 500, the maximum pollution level. Emergency response measures were adopted on Sun in some areas to deal with the heavy pollution. Outdoor sports activities for primary and middle schools were ordered to be halted in extremely polluted areas.

In the early development of socialism, our country did not pay much 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.
