how is economic development and environmental quality related?

to develop an economy you need cheap energy.  Current cheap energy sources come in three types.  Fossil fuels (coal,gas,oil), Hydro dynamics (Dams)and Nuclear power (made cheap by government subsidies).  All require the alteration of the local environment and with the exception of Dams polite the atmosphere.  Dams however consume more of the natural environment.  A up-side to economic development is the generation of wealth which can be used to enhance the environment.  Though this option probably sends shivers down corporate bodies.

Environmental Impact Assessment is a tool used for decision making regarding projects, developments and programs such as incinerators, airport runways, pig rearing and peat extraction. EIA is intended to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a proposed development prior to decision making. \n\nThis means that it is easy to identify the most environmentally suitable option at an early stage, the best practical environmental option, and alternative processes. \n\nThese links should be very helpful with this topic.

Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related due to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development. It is inherently an interdisciplinary field that draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also applies knowledge from other non-scientific studies such as economics, law and social sciences. Physics is used to understand the flux of material and energy interaction and construct mathematical models of environmental phenomena. Chemistry is applied to understand the molecular interactions in natural systems. Biology is fundamental to describing the effects within the plant and animal kingdoms.

Did the oil companies destroy the environment?  Really?  The environment is destroyed?  Have you been to eastern Europe?  I have, and let me tell you, our environment is not even close to being destroyed.  The environments over there are WAY worse off than they are here, and guess what?  All that destruction was done by their governments under communism (not by 'greedy' companies)!  And who do you think is driving the oil industry anyway?  Everyone who buys fuel, or anything made out of plastic or other oil products, or buys something shipped with oil burning methods is driving it.  You need to learn some basic economics and think about things holistically to see the real forces that drive things.  Good luck with that.\nOur judicial system will never be cleaned up as long as it has so much power.  It is a law of nature that power attracts the corrupt.  If you want a judicial system that is corruption free, you need to drastically reduce its power over the people.  Most people look at government and its branches as a benevolent big brother rather than the necessary evil that great men like Ben Franklin and Jefferson did.  The bigger and more powerful it gets, the more corrupt it will get, period.

Both. It's not an either-or proposition, by the way. If you look around the world, you will see that countries with poor economies also have high pollution.\n\nBecause with good economies comes high standards of living and the ability to implement clean environmental policies.\n\nSo, if you're for good economy, you'll get a cleaner environment. If you're for a cleaner environment, the best way to accomplish that is with a good economy.

Not really, services only go so far.  Manufacturing must be part of the mix to have a healthy economy.

pollution is the presence of harmful substances in the envionment. some that are effecting or enviornment today are. piles of garbage,americans produce more houshold waste than any other nation. billions of kilograms of this waste are classified as hazordous. which means it's harmful to humans and the environment. Hazordous waste also comes from homes, old cars, paints, batteries, medical wastes, and detergents all pollute the environment. \nNuclear power plants produce electricity for millions of homes and businesses they also produce radioactive wastes, special kinds of  hazordous wastes that take hundreds of thousands of years to become harmless. These "hot" wastes can cause cancer, leukemia, and birth defects in humans. Radio active wastes can have harmful effects on all living things.\nSome pollutants affect the senses. These include bad odors and loud noises. too much noise is not just annoying but affects the ability to hear and think. \nI hope this helps you with your homework.

The answer to studing ecology was worded the simplest by Kofi Annan. "There is little chance of protecting the environment without a greater sense of mutual responsibility." \nThe world in which is made up ofdelicate and complicated systems, which need to be understood by everyone on one level or another. While it would seem some of it to be trivial, an informed public insures a healthier planet.

Developed nations are those countries with high standard of living for the generality of its populace.\nA developed country usually has good economic indices (in terms of per capita income, GDP, growth rate of the economy, level of unemployment etc)\nFor a country that wants to be "developed", it has to work towards improving those indices mentioned above.

In recent years, the reform of rural schools, like the reform of urban and suburban schools, has been urged as a means of contributing to the construction of a competitive national economy. The issue of economic development, however, differs in rural and urban America (DeYoung, 1985; Jacobs, 1984; Stephens, 1988).\n\nThe difference stems in part from the traditional relationship of rural and urban areas. Traditionally, rural areas export to cities goods such as lumber, minerals, and agricultural products, but they have also contributed the work of employees who have abandoned rural areas in search of city jobs. Moreover, some observers suggest that even when businesses transplant factories to rural areas, urban economies reap most of the benefits (Jacobs, 1984). These observers cite low-wages, export of profits, and the failure of transplanted factories to stimulate locally-based production enterprises as problems.\n\nRural areas differ, too, from urban areas because their economies tend to be specialized (Stephens, 1988). Though rural areas differ from one another in the type of specialized economic activity each conducts, they share the fact of specialization. Rural areas, then, contribute to the national economy in ways different from urban areas, and what benefits the national economy will not necessarily benefit the rural economy or rural schools.\n\nFor these reasons, the effect that specialized rural industries have on educational outcomes is a topic of growing interest. The purpose of this digest is to review the available literature on this emerging topic. The research reported below deals with a variety of outcomes, though those of greatest interest are academic outcomes.
