“Do economic growth and environment conservation go together?” That was the old question asked by many generations. Logically, the answer tents to be “NO”, both from the personal business to the government policy maker point of view. In this small report, I will try to recognize, analyze environment problems and summarize some of the solutions for them.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
The objective of this report is to analyze environmental problems and propose solutions. It examines the complexities of balancing economic growth with environmental conservation, questioning the traditional assumption that they are mutually exclusive.
- The interconnectedness of economic growth and environmental degradation.
- The role of individual actions, consumer behavior, and governmental policies in addressing environmental issues.
- The limitations of relying solely on technological solutions for environmental problems.
- The importance of education and international cooperation in promoting environmental sustainability.
- The need for a comprehensive, multifaceted approach that considers economic, social, and environmental factors.
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The introduction poses the central question of whether economic growth and environmental conservation are compatible. The report then defines environmental problems broadly, encompassing various human activities and unintended consequences of conservation efforts. It explores the limitations of controlling environmental issues solely through controlling human activity, highlighting the influential role of economic factors. The role of money, consumer behavior, and government policies in different countries (developed vs. developing) are further analyzed. The report concludes (this section is not included in this preview) by proposing a "green compound" solution comprised of improved education, a strengthened global protocol, and a shift in the focus of science and technology.
