development? Discuss.

Answer 1

Answer:

It means that the earth has abundant resources to satisfy everyone’s needs but in our greed and hurry to develop, we have been recklessly exploiting these resources.

The exploitation of natural resources not only harms the environment but may cripple the future generations of the development process itself.
