GDP and Green GDP As we all know, with the rapid development of electronic industry and new technological times coming, China is making great progre in the
economic field.However, things always have their disadvantages, many parts of the country have suffering from a worsening environment, such as Beijing where its \"smog \" weather is just so \"famous \".This phenomenon is attracting more and more people\'s eyes.To guarantee our health and the long-term economic development, the concept of \"Green GDP \" has been gradually put forward by many people.
What is GDP and green GDP? Why green GDP is so important for
us? These questions are worth our discuion.GDP means Gro Domestic Product, which refers to the sum of the market value of the final products and services that a country or an area outputs within the territory of them
through one year.We make it an indicator to measure the overall strength of a country or an area.However, GDP only pays attention to seeking economic inputs and outputs and it ignores the ecological capital\'s, which artificially breaks the relationship between economic development and environmental protection.So it is neceary to introduce the environmental factors to the current national economic accounting system.The key is adding the
environmental factors to the GDP index.And the \"Green GDP \" make it.The born of green GDP is basically an eential leap and sublimation of human development.Economic growth is not the same as economic development, and economic development is not the same as the development of the whole economic society and people.On the basis of traditional GDP, the green GDP considers the environmental and resource costs.Therefore, the calculation of environmental cost and resource cost becomes the key to sustainable
income.So the green GDP is a major contribution to sustainable development and so it is important for us.
From what has been discued above, we can learn that the idea to
calculate green GDP is obvious but there is a long way for the scientific concept transformed into actual operation.In my opinion, relevant laws should be set up by government to ensure a balance between GDP increase and our environment and a public education campaign on green GDP is also badly needed!
