2.28独立写作 In present society, some governments tend to focus its funds primarily on economic development, because they hold the perspective that the economic development is superior to everything, which exerts positive impacts on improving the quality of human life. However, due to their neglect of environmental protection, a great number of serious problems have arisen. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, it is much more crucial for governments to place great emphasis on environmental protection.
First and foremost, admittedly, economic development can bring the wealth of benefits. However, if the development is at the cost of the environment like many developing countries nowadays, it is not worthwhile. For instance, in recent decades, China has explored most of its natural resources, such as oil, trees. Meanwhile, the environment is getting worse. Some cities even experienced the severe weather condition, which brings a great risk of human's life. Is it worthwhile? The answer is obvious. Therefore, once governments put economic development in priority and destroy the environment, our life quality doesn't improve but indeed decrease. So it is the time for authorities to dedicate its funds in environmental protection.
Further, there is no denying that environment is the foundation of the economic development and business activities. Nobody is willing to work in the desert and the majority of international corporations are reluctant to set its institution in the countries with severe environmental condition. In addition, if we continue to destroy environment rather than protect it, soon the human will face disasters. At that time, even the human's survival is the big question, not to mention the economic development. In contrast, if government expenditure is spent on preserving environment, there will be virtuous circle between economic development and environmental protection.
Last but not least, preserving environment is the moral obligation of human. Not only human but also a wide range of creatures live in this planet. Animals are the best friends of human, who provide us with various materials for our living. We have no right to threaten their habitats. Although we have high-level intelligence, it doesn't equate to that we are the god of the world. Every creature has equal right to survive. Therefore, on no account will we ignore preserve environment for the sake of our own economic profits.
All in all, in spite of the importance of economic development, environmental protection is much more urgent and meaningful. Thus, authorities still are supposed to focus its funds on environmental protection.
