Man is a discovering specie. Economic man has always been concerned with his environment. Until recently, environment was seen as a boundless cornucopia, to be enjoyed, plundered and rearranged for profit. Today, many thoughtful people see it as a limited resource. The relationship between modem man and his environment is a major and growing problem. The very survival of man as a specie depends upon intelligent and moral human action with respect to these problems. A useful study of environmental problems requires a deep and comprehensive understanding of the economic and social worlds and their relationship with environment. This article aims to concentrate on the pressure of development on environment. What happens when the size of the economic system expands in population and economic activity as it has done in the past, and will do so in the future. Not only the size, but also the nature and ecology of the system change very fast. There is environmental damage from many economic activities resulting in non-degradable synthetics, pesticides, chemicals, deforestation, industrial smoke, heat and waste, transport dangers, radioactive contaminations, garbage and junk yards, etc. causing air, water, land, sound and space pollution.
