Ecological Problems in Society

The state is currently suffering from a range of ecological challenges. Most of the problems follow the regularly occurring form of reasoning. It is difficult to understand whether it is part of the industry, commercial enterprise or part of the public, which is contributing to a series of wholesome challenges to many people. It is difficult to modify the ecological practices and meet the desires of the affected people by minimizing the health problem. This paper explores the contagious issues associated with organising a tradeoff between saving human lives and protection of the ecosystems, the paper proposes a way forward to tackle the challenge.

Introduction

Striking a balance between the amounts of cash used to solve the ecological problems and the number of lives saved by that expenditure to some extent would solve the issue. Human being because of the increasing humanities, growing technology, and skills has manipulated nature. Humans have hunted for food, health care, gathered species, and looked for shelter after cutting forests, domesticating animals and plants. Obviously, the shift in technology to alter habitats significantly changes the geochemical cycles and hydrological cycles (Dasgupta and Wheeler). Therefore, humans have not reflected what life means on earth yet the changes in sea and landscape reflect human culture. The death of species makes man to lose medicine, industrial resources, food, and other necessities of life. The degradation of the ecosystem continues to culminate into loss of lives. The scarcity of natural endowments has pressed so many problems not only bringing conflicts among countries but also creating many sufferings among the consumers (Gray and Shadbegian).

Where is the contagious issue?

Sustainable development agrees that economic development can harm the ecosystem. One of the most pressing arguments in the issues is whether to continue obeying the principle of sustainability at the expense of the lives of people by minimizing spending and protecting environmental services. Economic growth does not eliminate health care problems but it is necessary to meets the challenges of the poor. The quality of life is defined by consumption of large volume of goods and services and it must be sustained no matter how much is spent on such services. For instance, if the emission of greenhouse gasses is less than what can be transformed by nature, regulation of expenditure is combatively with environmental enhancement (Acemoglu). To conserve resources, all services provided in the healthcare industry must be sustainable. In addition, the environmental goods and services m must be recycled from renewable resources if this balance is to be struck between the amount of money spent on providing health care services and the quality of life individuals should live (Dasgupta and Wheeler). However, some goods, and services are not sustainable since some of the goods are lost due to tear, wear, and corrosion as soon as they are released in the market or once the first phase of consumption is complete. Minimal spending must be maintained with continuous eye contact on the amount of money used in providing health care services and protecting the ecosystem. What sustainability activist have not opposed towards regulation of public spending is recognizing that the amount of money spent is beneficial to sustain human health.

However, the disadvantages of such spending will at one time outweigh the advantages. The challenge is not recognizing whether the optimal point has been realized but to find alternative ways to satisfy the growth in ecosystem without compromising on the quality of environmental goods and services. Unless a move is taken beyond the rhetoric of sustainable development, the need for environmental protection for the sake of protecting the human lives is likely to end in vein (Dasgupta and Wheeler). The environment is likely to be degraded up to a point where it cannot be taken back to its initial state. One of the obstacles to environmental protection is that some people have come up to advocate to environmental services without considering the repercussions of producing such services on the health care of human being. Industrialization is one of the major obstacles to sustainable growth (Copeland and Taylor). Another obstacle is that the nation is part of the international economic system hence some of the decisions cannot be taken independently this implies that the amount of many spent is under the control of the international banking policies and the domestic monitory policies. The nation also competes for market of its goods and services, therefore minimizing the usage of environmental resources without compromising health care needs of people can harm the government revenue collected from environmental communities.

What is the way forward?

The notion that stabilizing the ecosystem requires reduction in spending and levels of consumption in addition material production is one of the fastest leading to the rapidly contagious issues associated with "death movement" (Gray and Shadbegian). The greenhouse emissions increase the number of economic activities since consumption levels and higher incomes increase the demand for commodities, which are carbon intensive. A lot of money, which is spent on ecological protection, must comply with the environmental regulations. However, this money is paid to firms to provide environmental services and goods.

The current spending on ecological protection goes to purchase environmental commodities form other organizations. This is an implication that ecological spending diverts resources from the main activities of the health care system and reduces their output. Achieving a balance between the amounts spent on environmental protection and the lives people saved, take the need to come up with environmental regulatory policies to guard the use of environmental resources and minimize the government expenditure (Gray and Shadbegian). The effect of such policies is to oblige the transfer of resources from one activity to another while providing health care services to the citizens.

Conclusion

Incorporating the ecosystem into the economic systems may address the healthcare challenges. The sustainable development programs of the nation claims to be able to avoid destruction of the environment by integrating environmental decisions in the economic system of the country. The economic system component regarding protection of ecosystem is observed to provide raw materials to produce many health care services and recycle the wastes. Therefore achieving balance in the quality of health care and the amount of money spent requires a number of activities to be foregone.

The protection of the environment and incorporating it into the economic system is to ensure that the ecosystem is able to generate goods and services to build the country's economic system. As long as human welfare is being enhanced, reducing the spending amounts is to build a declining ecosystem amenity. It recognizes the tradeoff between human life and the value of goods and services produced. The ecosystem can only be protected where the economic costs continue to outweigh the quality of environmental services towards enhancing the wellbeing of citizens.

It is necessary to first evaluate the future risks of minimizing the environmental protection expenses in an effort to promote economic growth and investments. At times, the risks associated might be worth paying the price of damaging the environment. The major solution offered is to put ecosystems protection and public spending on the side of the national economic system and establish the optimal point.
