Is protecting the environment important than economic develo

Personally I think envionment factor is more important than anything else。I'm just wondering if you'd like to live in a city where the ecosystem is disturbed by too much industry。Yes,ecomomy is crucially important~But is there anyone who dare say that the envionment is not important?It's about the place we live now and in the future。What if it's a mess?What if there are all polluted airs?What we need in our entire life is not just money or something like that~but a happy life。But I'm afraid you can't have a happy life without a good living envionment。There we can promote our economy~but~on conditon that we'd protect our environment first。If the factory is not going to do too much harm to our envrionment~then we just let it go~And the industries have to take care of those industry wastage~Make sure never pollute our air or water!Environment is really very important!It's too late to realize this if we've already lost it。。。
