Abstract	Designed for the senior secondary level, these activities and articles explore critical issues between the environment and development. Two causes of environmental degradation are wasteful affluence and desperate poverty. The problems with development and the environment addresses Canadian and global situations. An article presents three assumptions often made in development: (1) misleading accounting conventions; (2) biased allocation; and (3) inappropriate aid. Additional articles further discusses what can be done, what assumptions need to change, and how to change some assumptions. Two activities illustrate clearly the difference between sustainable and unsustainable development and encourage students to affect positively local government and participate in the introduction of sustainable development worldwide. A list of 60 environmental organizations, contacts, and resources provide further information on development and the environment. (CK)
