Industrial growth, a typical indicator of developing countries, is on the one hand contributing towards the economic growth and on the other hand is the main cause of polluting the environment. Economic growth is as necessary for developing countries and their evolution as clean, safe and healthy environment.
Do you think that developing countries are sacrificing heath of their nation on the cost of their growth? Keeping in view the ethics, what stance will you take, alter the growth or the health of nation?
Solution:
industrial growth is causing environmental pollution, for instance:
The use of fossil fuels has led to substantial growth in global
emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the build-up of greenhouse effects, contributing to
global warming. Since 1751, over 265 billion tons of carbon have been released to the
atmosphere, one half of these emissions having been produced since the mid-1970s (Marland
and others, 1999).
