This is a challenging topic, but I think that environmental protection weighs over economic development. I strongly agree with Alex’s idea that only with a diverse and healthy ecosystem can we live a happy life. I’d add that it’s urgent for human-beings to repair the environment, for a large amount of species has already facefaced(Agreement: 'have' + past/present tense) extinction as the result of waste discharge, poaching and deforestation. While Maggie raised the relevant point that economic progress will promote environmental protection in turn, she didn’t mention that the damage to environmentthe environment(This rule identifies whether the article 'the' is missing in a sentence.) is unreversibleirreversible(misspelling). For example, Amazon forest has experienced decrease in square for more than half and scientists alert that it’s even impossible to repair it.

This debate presents a challenging dilemma; however, I firmly believe that environmental protection takes precedence over economic development. I concur with Alex's assertion that a diverse and healthy ecosystem is essential for our well-being. It is crucial for humanity to urgently address environmental degradation, as numerous species face extinction due to waste discharge, poaching, and deforestation. For instance, the decline in bee populations directly impacts our food supply since they play a vital role in pollination.

While Maggie raises a valid point regarding economic progress promoting environmental protection, she overlooks the fact that some damages to the environment are irreversible. For example, plastic pollution in oceans takes hundreds of years to decompose. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize environmentally sustainable practices while pursuing economic growth, such as investing in renewable energy and promoting eco-friendly technologies. This approach will ensure a healthier future for both humans and the planet. (149 words)
