"Governments should prioritize economic growth over environmental protection" Nowadays, despite the obvious and undeniable urgency of the environmental crisis we are living, there are many people that, just like the quote states, believe "Governments should prioritize economic growth over environmental protection", and while I understand why they might think this, I do not share this view. Firstly, the climate change crisis is the most urgent and serious problem humanity has ever faced, because if we continue to follow our consumerist lifestyle, the planet will eventually be completely depleted from natural resources we rely on and its weather conditions will only get more extreme, thus threatening our species' survival. For example, if global warming continues, the rise of sea-level will, in a not so distant future, erase entire cities and countries, like the Maldives, and everyone who lives in them. Secondly, this crisis and the lifestyle change needed to solve it is actually a great opportunity for economical growth, because new eco friendly products need to be developed and a whole new recycling market is yet to be explored. For example, just like Bayer Plot refers, by collecting plastic and other types of waste we can turn what was once garbage into new and profitable merchandise. In conclusion, I firmly believe that the environmental protection is the most dangerous issue in today's society and can go hand in hand with economic growth, and therefore it must be the number one priority for everyone.
