The goal of the green movement is to increase the ratio of productivity to waste, particularly external waste (ie that affecting the commons).
You can only have one objective function.
Promoting development means increasing the ratio of economic output to people. The green movement wants to increase the ratio of productivity to waste.
In the (highly likely, considering how large the solution space is) event that the solution to both these problems is not the same, following the prescriptions of the green movement will mean sacrificing some development.
Wasted labor seems to me to fall under that goal (not that I am offering a a fully burnished economic theory here). If your need is illumination, say, a lantern or even a candle is considerably less wasteful than a fire, both in terms of externalities and the effort required to operate it - obtaining oil or a candle that lasts a week, vs armfuls of wood that last for one night which cost time and effort to gather and which are not easily portable once set on fire.
