The only way to keep the environment as clean as possible and keep the economy growing at a safe rate is to be extremely conscious of the environment and what is happening in the economy and its possible effects on the environment. In an economy that is growing the four factors that influence economic growth are new capital, new technology, training, and education. People need affordable income to send those young children to school for the education and training to help the economy grow. In an economy where money is available and is not scarce, which is just like the economy we're in now, then people won't be scared to take money out of the bank or, better yet, won't be scared to take a loan out. People will take more loans to pay for education of their kids because they will know that the money will be there or better yet they can make the money back to pay for the loans.
Profits can help pay for more training for employees.
This training can be on new equipment or training for completely new jobs. Using the new training, companies can now be more environmentally conscious. As you can see the economy and the environment go hand in hand. Many factors affect both of them. The economy affects the environment in so many different ways, good and bad, we hope you have a new and better understanding of how pollution, education, interest rates, money and jobs affect the environment.
