Ôconomic growth is the increase of per-

capita gross domestic product (GDP) or
other measures of aggregate income.

Growth is needed, but thinks about

uncontrolled growth. For example think about
cancer or tumor, what is happening there
uncontrolled growth of any part of our body. It
cause problems, it cause death of people. So
uncontrolled growth is harmful. Growth must
be under control. Go through following
observations,
Ñ ˜orld¶s population is rapidly growing. From
year 1990-2020 the population is expected to
increase by 50%or more, industrial outputs by
85%and the use of non-renewable resources
will double.

Ñ The earth¶s carrying capacity is not increasing

and we are close to practical limits.
Ñ The world rather every country is trying to
bring all its people or what ever resources they
have to the industrial growth.

Ñ Though the world tries to reduce the

population rate they try to make a boom in
agricultural field to get maximum yield on an
unhealthy way by using heavy toxic chemicals.
Ñ The chemicals which is using in agricultural
sector pollutes environment, also this sector
requires the use of non renewable resources on
a high level.

Ñ After 2000 these pollutants rises high enough

and begins to affect the fertility of the land
seriously.

Ñ Global warming.
Ñ Climate change.
Ñ Nuclear radiations.
Ñ Global water crisis.
Ñ Scarcity of non-renewable fuels.
Ñ Food safety and chemical contamination.
Ñ Infrared and ultraviolet radiations
(green house effect).
Ñ Ômerging of new or highly resistant
viruses and bacteria.
Ñ Different species are dying out (if it go
like this 50%of species on the earth
which we can see today will not be there
at the end of this century).

˜e only can save our environment. Small

things can do miracles. Small activities which we do
can save resources for future generations. Ôvery one
has to contribute on this by saving something. Thus
every one has to join together,
