Is it possible to be economically successful and have a clean environment?
According to some, a country can be both wealthy and environmental friendly. By contrast, others state that these two goal cannot be combined. Generally, the former thinks that, nowadays, there is the opportunity to economically grow by acting in a sustainable way, whereas the latter that one excludes the second. Between the two, the first seems more likely, because sustainability will pay off over the long-term.
Those who believe that is possible to be economically successful and have a clean environment say that renewable energies are source of business. Indeed, some countries which have been converted their energy system over the last decades are now richer than before. One example of this are the Scandinavian countries, like Norway, Sweden and Denmark, which have dramatically reduced their emissions and invested in hydroelectric or wind energy. These country are continuing to be among the wealthiest of the world and they are even improving their economic performances.
Nevertheless, as the counterpart points out, there are nations richer than Scandinavian ones, which are increasing more rapidly their GDP. Some of these are the emerging countries like India, China or Saudi Arabia, which are known for their polluted environment due to massive emissions. People who argue that the two aims are not compatible say that if these countries moved to renewable energies, they would not produce so much. This is a noteworthy reflection, however, this growing cannot long enough, because of limited resources.
Thus, some people believe that it should be followed the example of Scandinavia countries, that they have both improved their environment and their economic power. The opposite position, instead, says that the most rocketing economies are those based on a strategy which does not care of the environment. The last statement is true, but it will not work forever so. As a consequence, for being economically successful for a long time, you should pay attention to renewable energies and, hence having the goal of a clean environment.

Generally, the former thinks that, [doesn't make total sense, could say: In the first argument one assumes that...] nowadays, there is the opportunity to economically grow by acting in a sustainable way, whereas the latter that one excludes the second [whereas based on the second argument one assumes that it is not possible to maintain environmentally friendly practices and achieve maximum wealth]. Between the two arguments, the first seems more likely plausible, because sustainability will pay off over the long-term.

Good morning everyone. Thank you in advance, as always.
Hi! This is really well written. I tried to suggest some improvements without changing the meaning of your work. Generally speaking you are writing really well already and I could understand everything you wanted to say.
Perhaps watch out for the use of this "ing" form, such as growing --> growth
It is a bit hard to explain when the "ing" form works, but for example we talk about "growth of country" not "growing"
