Solution
Both Economic developments degrade our environment by using natural resources for the production of goods and services and economic development improves environmental quality.
Explanation:
When it comes to how economic expansion impacts the environment, there are two points of view. The following are the details:
- Economic development, according to the first viewpoint, destroys our environment by consuming natural resources for the creation of products and services. Pollution occurs as a result of economic development in the form of air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution.
- Economic development, according to the second viewpoint, enhances environmental quality. New materials and sources are discovered, which not only utilise fewer natural resources but also sometimes replace them. As a result of economic development, environmental deterioration decreases.
