In current scenario, economic growth is even a significant thing for a development of a country. But if we are not able to go with the sustainable development for economic growth, then it can lead to environmental disaster. It can lead to a lot of pollution. Let us take an example of the production of plastic bags, for example. Plastic bags can create a lot of pollution in the environment. They will not decompose. They cannot even be destroyed. The only thing that can be done is recycling and recycling is the part of sustainability. But that is not the scenario now. Instead of using plastic bags, people should enhance or promise the use of paper bags.

In the current scenario, economic growth is a significant factor for the development of a country. However, if we are unable to pursue sustainable development alongside economic growth, it can lead to environmental disaster. It can result in a lot of pollution. Let us take the production of plastic bags as an example. Plastic bags create a lot of pollution in the environment. They do not decompose and cannot be destroyed. The only solution is recycling, which is part of sustainability. But that is not the current scenario. Instead of using plastic bags, people should promote the use of paper bags. Additionally, using products that can be recycled and reused will contribute to sustainability in a country. If that is not the case, it may not create immediate issues, but in the coming years, it can lead to significant environmental challenges.
