The government should focus more on the environment than on economic development.
It is often said that the government have to concentrate more on the environment than the economic advancement. Some people might disagree with this statement because, to gain quickly desirable results, it is important to focus more on substantial problems like economy or politics. However, in my opinion, the government should pay more attention on environment problems for two reasons : to save life and to develop economy more stable
To begin with, paying more attention to environment problems can have a positive effect on solving the problems which is connected our survival. It is obvious that some parts of environment including air, water are directly correlated to people’s surviving problem.
If some elements of environment broken down, this would eventually negatively impact our environment around me and we would no exception to its influences.
Thus, it makes difficult to individually solve these environment problems, these problems can be only resolved through a large amount of efforts by the government. For example, the government in Pittsburgh made the public transportation free in the downtown in the late 20th century. The number of people who were more likely to use subway or bus, instead of using their own car had greatly increased. as a result, air in the downtown became much clearer due to government efforts.
In addition focusing more environment is able to make sustainable economy benefits.
That’s because, since the industrial revolution, our society has depended more on coal, oil energy. However, these energies are not sustainable. These days people more focus on sustainable natural energy like solar power, tide, wave energy because when people can use natural energy, people have to worry about energy exhaustion and they do not create pollution. Thus to get continuous economical advantage by these natural energies, the government has to take action to conserve our environment as soon as possible. To demonstrate, according a study conducted by the Seoul National University in 2006, one group who used solar power energy were able to save money three time more than the other group who did not use them. This implies that, when the government concentrate natural problem, this allows people to save a lot of money, which can contribute to our society.
In brief, focusing more on environment is preferable to economy development as this will help people to stay healthy and reduce amount of money spent on energy. All in all, the government should keep a close eye on what is really beneficial for its nation.
