The environmental issues has beeen magnified gradually with the flow of time. Some people might say that it is not necessary to use money for environmental protections while others do not. If I have to choose one, I would say that the government should focus its budget for protecting environment. There are few reasons and examples as follows.
To start with, it seems that it is not that necessary to use budget on economic development. This is because a lot of countries somewhat overcame absolute poverty completely, which means that . Furthermore, people are doing economic activities well without no help from the government in the society and economic system works well itself not only domestically but also internationally. Therefore, there is no necessity to investigate money for economic development. For example, according to a celebrated economist, Mr.Park, it is the right time to do something for sustainable development. He asserted in his book that the most noticeable impediment for developing community nowadays is deeply related to the environmental issue. He emphasized the importance of environment protection rather than the government's direct intervention for economic development.
In addition, many people in this world are exposed to various environmental issues. They are being affected by environmental problems directly or indirectly and suffering from them. The environmental issues involve so many problems such as air pollution, drought and deforestation of which effects are so extensive and unpredictable. There is no doubt that they have a negative impact on people's health. For instance, there was a poll conducted by a group of social science majors in Seoul national university with randomly chosen 500 citizens as respondetns. An overwhelming 78% responded that they want the government execute its budget on environmental protection, not economic development. This shows that a lot of people have a view that it is necessary to protect environment in a national level.
To sum up, there is no need to use money for economy development due to absolute poverty. Moreover, many people want the government to put a lot of effort to resolve the environmental problems as they recognized that how severe they become. In this regard, the government should use its budget to protect environment rather than develop economy. |
