As we all know that there is a great debate regarding the issue of environment and free market. People believes that Free market and business agencies are responsible for climate change and to degrading the environment. During the discussion, group was divided into two, half of them supporting that business people are responsible for the environment degradation and they should be regulated and make reliable for corporate social responsibility.
Other half were were stressing that Free market is not responsible to degrade the environment as people claim it to be. Their argument was that compare to past now people are able to consume fresh water in the developed nations. They are living longer and having better life standard than people who are kept out of reach of market.
