经济发展和保护环境都是必须的

我不同意将其中一个作为优先选择的观点。经济发展和环境保护理所应当做到兼顾,因为两者都是社会繁荣的重要因素。

经济发展似乎更加重要,因为经济发展提供了很多就业机会,提高了人们的生活水平,提高了政府的收入。然而,上述的目标实际上只能在环境得到良好保护的前提之下达到。而且,令人感到有趣的是,经济发展为环境保护提供了所需的资金和人力。得到良好保护的环境是经济发展的基础,而且在某种程度上也促进了经济的发展。经济发展又好又快,需要良好的环境,环境也为生产提供了必要的资源,例如木材,煤矿,水资源等。一旦环境恶化,生产过程很可能会受到阻碍,甚至停产。更糟糕的是,由于环境恶化造成的自然灾害,甚至会使整个经济瘫痪,威胁人类生命。追求短期的经济效益,会对我们的家庭和后代造成严重伤害。

因此,经济发展和环境保护同等重要。因此,实际上,我们应该为了了经济的可持续发展而努力。考虑到这两者的地位,只有当我们足够清醒,并且下定决心之后,才能清楚地认识到两者的密不可分。(240字)
