In Chapter 8, "The Environment: Pollution" Hite (2021), discusses the existing tension between development and the environment. Development brings economic growth as well as social and environmental changes. To a developing country, economic growth may be of a higher priority than the long-term health consequences for its citizens and environment. On the other hand, poverty also can harm the environment, for example, as farming land contributes to deforestation.
