What worries you more the economy or the environment?

Hi there. My name is Jerry. I'm from Cameron. The question is, what worries you more, the economy or the environment?

To me, I believe both because one inevitably affects the other. So, if we as a human race are able to build a more sustainable economy, a more efficient economy, we can in the long run build a more stable environment. For instance, planting new trees so that the sun rays doesn't hit the earth directly, or switching from gas-producing cars to electric cars, switching from electric power stations to solar panels. These are sufficient and world-renowned renewable energies that can in the long run make our ecosystem more preferable. If you cut down trees and you keep using pollution-driven industries and cars, the ecosystem will be worn out, allowing the sun rays to directly heat the earth. In the long run, it will cause drought, it will cause famine, and the whole economy and the environment itself will all suffer. So, I believe if we take care of our economy, we will in the long run take care of our environment.
