A citizen with the ability of coordinating the ethic values with the legal norms will act in his obedience to law. The land ethic values in the sustainable development of the environment were belief, respect to land, moral responsibility, social solidarity, compassion and care to land, a non-destructive act to land and ecosystem and an obedience to law. The values could be incorporated in civic education to provide competencies in civic knowledge, civic dispositions and civic skills. They could become tools to prepare young citizens to be future litigious citizens who can uphold land law. Therefore, a sustainable environmental development is not impossible to achieve.</p><p> </p> ER -
