Task 5
Critical thinking
Do you agree on Smith's opinion that heavy industry has to go?
Share your own opinion on heavy industry and state the reason in groups.
Factories have caused water and air pollution and endangered public health.
Discussion
Factories have helped Norgate's economy and created job opportunities for local residents.
How can we strike a proper balance between environmental protection and sustainable economic development?
To strike a balance between environmental protection and
economic development, factories should take effective measures to cut down pollution and spend more on green production instead of just pursuing profits.
Meanwhile, the local government can guide the development of green industries to create more jobs for residents. What’s more, local people should also raise environmental awareness.
Only with the joint efforts of factories, the government and citizens can we achieve sustainable economic growth without damaging the environment.
