How can a nation achieve a balance between economic growth and environment sustainability? Explain by giving any two arguments.

(i) Sustainable development is environment friendly economic development which advocates for conserving resources for future generations.

(ii) Development can be sustained in any economy by using renewable resources such as hydel energy, wind energy and solar energy.

(iii) Non-renewable resources are those which get exhausted after years of use. We have a fixed stock of these on earth which cannot be replenished. So their use should be reduced.

(iv) Renewable resources are replenished by nature. However, even these resources may be overused. For example, in case of groundwater, if we use more than what is being replenished by rain then we would be overusing these resources. So they also should be used wisely.

(v) Use of public transport, conservation of resources, reducing, recycling and reusing of resources.
