Although many may believe the environment and economic growth can co exist, for economic growth to fully be achieved it is not a possibility.

An example is china whom is the fastest growing economy. To achieve this, they have burnt fossil fuels and started factories which produce alot of carbon emissions. This has severely deteriorated the environment in the country, with Beijing, it's capital, having one of the worst air conditions in the world. However, China's economy is booming, with new jobs being available to her people.
