Dear editor: I am writing to you about the discussion we’ve had about the relationship between economic development and environmental Some students think that we should not develop the economy at the cost of damaging the For instance， in order to boost the economy， they built a lot of The waste of the factory polluted the local air， water and The polluted air does great harm to people’s The polluted water and soil causes diseases and Other students argue that the issues of the environment are unavoidable for economic It is just the by- We can solve such issues when we have money and In my opinion， a strict law should be issued to keep the environment under proper We should know that destroying environment means destroying mankind Sincerely yours，Mike
China is a developing country， and in the socialist modernization drive in the process of economic development and environmental protection often We need to protect the environment of economic First， we must protect the environment of economic development is the essential requirement of economic Economic development is to improve people's living China's economic development is to solve the people's increasing material and cultural Born Out of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal agricultural Weak economic foundation， a low level of industrialization， in the course of economic development and economic development in the protection of the environment prevailing Protection of the environment including the protection of people's living environment and the natural Exist in the city economic development especially industrial development on the lives of the residents have a negative impact on the situation in the rural areas there is more damage the natural environment and ecological The purpose of economic development is to improve people's living standards， and the process of development because of damage to the environment affect people's lives， and contrary to the original intent of economic Second， we must protect the environment of economic development is the strategy of sustainable development The environment we live in， our future generations have to live We destroy the environment of economic development， some damage is irreparable， the future generations of Now countries around the world have attached great importance to the strategy of sustainable development research， vigorously develop the green industry， and pollution-free China is a civilization with a long history and a big country in the process of economic development should also attach importance to environmental protection， to leave our future generations a better living Third， we must protect the environment of economic development is a natural law The process of economic development， if the serious damage to the natural environment， then we will be natural to be severely Major floods caused damage to the environment are the inevitable In the floods in the consumption of manpower， material and financial fear of the expense of the environment more than the fruits of economic The laws of nature is merciless， who violated it who will be its We must attach great importance to the process of economic development in the protection of the natural environment and social Fourth， economic development and resolve conflicts protection of the environment is the fundamental way to further economic Development is the last We can not lose the economic development and the protection of the environment， not because of the ground to protect the environment in the development of economic issues before the Way is economic It is necessary to strengthen environmental awareness and use our Economic development and environmental protection are not necessarily On the contrary， economic development should promote environmental Extensive multi-level high-technology development， industrial pollution-free The development of the economy， the prosperity of the country， the level of development of productive forces， people conquering nature's ability to transform nature will be further People not only have the ability to protect the environment， but also the environment can be Desert will be transformed into Economic development is the way to protect the Fifth， the whole society should attach importance to developing the economy and protecting the At present many places， there are many sectors of the expense of the environment and developing the This is historical and practical reasons， but look at the use of the development issue， people will be even more profound understanding of the economic development process of the importance of environmental protection， leaders at all levels should establish environmental awareness， from the strategic height of the development of knowledge economy and the protection of the environment ， based on the overall situation into consideration in the protection of the environment at the same time vigorously developing the economy and improving the people's standard of In short， protecting the environment and economic development are not In the process of economic development must pay attention to protecting the Because pollution will， of course， cause Earth is a circle of the In fact， there is no absolute on the planet All things can be But human intervention so that the deviation in this cycle， there has been not the cycle of For example， the styrofoam boxes years If this is the case， then， is a vicious That the Earth's resources will be consumed E Well， the earth Protective measures should be as close to the Earth's self- Prevention should do more "farsightedness" and not always stare in the economic Should be from the perspective of the humanities and natural starting 译文：我国是发展中国家，在社会主义现代化建设过程中发展经济与保护环境时常发生冲突。我们发展经济必须保护环境。 一、发展经济必须保护环境是发展经济的本质要求。发展经济是为了提高人民的生活水平。在我国发展经济是为了解决人民日益增长的物质文化需求。我国脱胎于半殖民地、半封建的农业国。经济基础薄弱，工业化程度低，在经济发展过程中发展经济与保护环境的矛盾普遍存在。保护环境包括保护人民群众生活环境和自然环境。在城市存在发展经济尤其是发展工业对居民生活产生不良影响的情况，在农村更是存在破坏自然环境和生态环境的问题。发展经济的目的是为了提高人民生活水平，而发展过程中因破坏环境影响人民生活，违背了发展经济的本意。 二、发展经济必须保护环境是可持续发展战略的要求。我们生活的环境，我们的子孙后代也要在这里生活。我们发展经济破坏了环境，有些破坏是无法弥补的，是对子孙后代的犯罪。现在世界各国都已高度重视可持续发展战略的研究，大力发展绿色工业，无公害产业。我国是具有悠久历史和文明的大国，在发展经济过程中更应该重视环境保护，为子孙后代留下美好的生活空间。 三、发展经济必须保护环境是自然规律的要求。经济发展过程中，如果自然环境受到了严重损害，那么我们将受到自然的严厉惩罚。重大的洪涝灾害都是破坏环境造成的必然结果。在抗洪救灾中消耗的人力、物力、财务恐怕已超过了牺牲环境的经济发展成果。自然规律是无情的，谁侵犯了它谁将受到它的报复。我们必须高度重视发展经济过程中保护自然环境和社会环境。 四、解决发展经济与保护环境矛盾的根本出路在于进一步发展经济。发展是硬道理。我们不能因为发展经济而失去对环境的保护，更不能因为以保护环境为由在发展经济问题上畏缩不前。出路还在于发展经济。要加强环境保护意识，开动脑筋。发展经济与保护环境并不是必然矛盾。相反，发展经济应该促进环境保护。广泛多发展科技水平高，无公害的绿色工业。经济发展了，国家富强了，生产力发展水平提高了，人们征服自然改造自然的能力会进一步得到加强。人们不但有能力保护环境，还可以改造环境。将沙漠改造成良田。发展经济是保护环境的出路。 五、全社会都应该重视发展经济与保护环境的问题。目前许多地方、许多部门都存在着牺牲环境而发展经济的情况。这有历史和现实原因，但用发展的眼光看问题，人们会更加深刻认识发展经济过程中保护环境的重要性，各级领导都应该树立环保意识，从战略的高度认识发展经济与保护环境的问题，立足全局，统筹兼顾，在保护好环境的同时大力发展经济，提高人民的生活水平。 总之，保护环境与发展经济是不矛盾的。发展经济过程中必须注意保护环境。 因为污染当然会造成危害。地球是一个循环的世界。其实，在地球上没有绝对的废弃物。所有的东西都可以循环利用。但是人类的介入，使这个循环出现了偏差，出现了不能循环的东西。比如早些年的发泡饭盒。如果这样的话，那么，就是一个恶性循环。这样地球的资源就会被消耗完。那么，地球就危险了。保护的措施应该是尽量的接近地球的自我循环。预防应该是多做些“远视”，不要老是盯在经济目标上。
