Economic Development and Environmental Protection
Economic development and environmental protection are a pressing issue primarily for developing countries where, in trying to catch up with developed countries, they have to consume natural resources on an unprecedented scale. This has seriously polluted our environment and, with the global environmental campaign gaining momentum, many people in China call for the precedence of environmental protection over economic development.
Any attempt to pose economic development and environmental protection as diametrically contradictory is simple-minded. Since no country is willing to stop its economic development, the best way is to strike a balance between the two and to heighten the environmental awareness of those solely concerned with economic development.
European countries both economically developed and environmentally friendly can serve as perfect examples for China. Their success story in both undertakings illustrates that environmental protection does not mean a complete standstill of economic activities or exploitation of natural resources, but rather an active development and application of effective technologies to minimize environmental consequences. In Germany, environmental protection has become part of economic development as it boasts the worlds most successful environmental industry. With a developed economy, we are well equipped to develop sophisticated technologies that can effectively safeguard our environment.
The relationship between economic development and environment protection is a complex one. For modern men, neither a primitive society which is perfectly ecologically friendly nor an industrial civilization which is ecologically hostile is what we want. Environmental problems arise as a result of industrialization and only technologies can deliver solutions to those problems. Rather than simply returning to the past of non-human activity, we can seek active technological solutions in solar energy and wind energy to replace fossil fuels. By the time this key contributor to environmental deterioration is eradicated, man will achieve a win-win result between economic development and environmental protection.

經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)
經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)構(gòu)成了一個(gè)迫在眉睫的問題，這主要發(fā)生在發(fā)展中國(guó)家，因?yàn)樵谶@些國(guó)家，在不遺余力追趕發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的過程中，人們不得不以史無前例的規(guī)模去消耗自然資源。這便嚴(yán)重地污染了我們的環(huán)境。隨著全球范圍內(nèi)的環(huán)保運(yùn)動(dòng)勢(shì)頭日趨強(qiáng)勁，中國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)的許多人便大聲疾呼，相對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，環(huán)境保護(hù)應(yīng)被擺在首要位置。
任何將經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)絕然對(duì)立起來的做法，都顯得頭腦簡(jiǎn)單。既然沒有哪個(gè)國(guó)家會(huì)愿意讓其經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展停滯下來，最好的方法就是在兩者之間達(dá)成一種平衡;對(duì)于那些只關(guān)注經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的人，應(yīng)努力提高其環(huán)保意識(shí)。

經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)之間的關(guān)系甚為復(fù)雜。對(duì)于現(xiàn)代人而言，完全環(huán)境友好型的原始社會(huì)，或者是充滿生態(tài)敵意的工業(yè)文明，二者中沒有哪個(gè)是我們所要的。環(huán)境問題因工業(yè)化過程而產(chǎn)生，但也只能經(jīng)由工業(yè)技術(shù)才能對(duì)這些問題帶來解決之道。我們不應(yīng)該簡(jiǎn)單地回歸過去，讓人類陷入無為的狀態(tài)，而是要在太陽能、風(fēng)能等能源中尋找積極主動(dòng)的技術(shù)解決方案，來替代化石燃料。當(dāng)化石燃料這個(gè)環(huán)境惡化的主要推手被鏟除之際，人類在經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與環(huán)境保護(hù)之間，就能實(shí)現(xiàn)一種雙贏的格局。
