how to save the environment while developing a country?

Question

while a country is developing, how to keep the environment clean

Answer 1

You must keep developing industry and urbanization under control. As examples show what has happened on the Ganges and what is happening in China. The general population needs to see the developing problem and motivate their govenments to take action. If the people in general don't care and their govenment doesn't care, then it will get out of control.

Answer 2

don't build on rural areas.
