解题思路

观点：disagree
1. 环境极大地影响着人们的健康，这是经济发展无法弥补的。
2. 环保可以带来旅游业的发展，这同样对经济发展有促进作用。
参考范文
范文：
There is no doubt that economic growth is the basis for people’s life and people will find it difficult to enjoy anything else without a decent economy. Therefore, some people claim that economic growth could never be slowed down despite its negative impact on the environment.
However, in my opinion, environment protection is as crucial as the economy and we cannot sacrifice it in order to boost the economy.
Humans’ ignorance of the environment might cause tremendous harm to their health, which cannot be compensated for by the economic growth. It is universally acknowledged that in the past, a lot of countries, especially the less developed ones, did not take the preservation of nature seriously so as to ensure a decent economic growth. Thus, the natural balance has been ruined to a great extent and it would cause huge disasters to human beings. For instance, sincethe beginning of 2020, almost the whole world has undergone a widespread epidemic of COVID-19. This disease has led to a great recession of the world’s economy and the infected population still keeps rising. It is assumed by experts that this virus infection resulted from people’s hunting and killing of the virus’ natural carrier such as bats. People’s destruction of the nature ends up hurting people and their health. However developed the economy is, it would fail to make up for it.
Also, a good environment will significantly facilitate the tourism of a country, which will bring huge benefits to the country ’ s economy. Many countries around the world, such as New Zealand and Austria, are able to attract millions of tourists every year with their fresh air and beautiful landscapes, who contribute to the local economy greatly with their consumption. In this way, environment protection has become a catalyst for the local economic growth. For example, when I was working for my previous company, I visited Laos on a business trip in 2014. To my surprise, tourism contributed more than 50% of the annual GDP growth of the country back then. That was because Luang Prabang, a city near Mekong River, enjoyed a worldwide fame for its waterfalls and Buddhism heritage, and a great many travelers would come to Laos for that every year. A good natural environment, combined with local culture, will greatly help boost the local economy.
In conclusion, although economic growth plays an essential role in the society, the environment issue also has to be taken into consideration, for people’s health depends on the environment, and a prosperous tourism resulting from a good environment contributes a lot to the local economy
