At the beginning of the newspaper, the author was pointing out that “in one hand, as China is keep developing fast, the environmental problems are keep increasing now, some of the environment are damaged; in another hand, as China solve the basic life problem, most people are care about the environment now.” And we can not solve the environmental problem by stop develop or slow down develop; we need use the science and technology to solve the problems.

I am totally agreeing author’s point, which is totally right, what we should find out is the way to solve the problem, not blench the problem we had. So I do not think we need to slow down develop, crossly I think we need to speed up. As we see know, in every country, every time when economic growth it will concomitancy the problem, like environmental problem. The way to solve it is makes the economic growth fast, and makes it done in a short period of time, as economic growth the country is developed, therefore every citizen get well education, they can provide new technology to decrease the environment cost, or plan their product more efficiency. For an example, 200 years ago we don’t even know that carbon dioxide and another chemical will damage environment, also we have no idea how to solve the problem. England and America as other example, they begin to solve the environmental problem after they had ability and fully developed. They should have ability to protect their environment; Brazil has large area of Tropical rainforests as they need to pay the debt, they have to sell the wood, this is the example of economic raise solve the environmental problem.

As result the economic raise and country develop will cause environmental problems, but the way to solve or protect environment is develop the country. Therefore, stop the country develop and economic raise to protect environment is a bad idea.
