feeling of co-operation makes the society strong, so it should be maintained carefully. No society can be developed without cooperation. The inter-dependence which matters much in the human life is nothing but co-operation.
iv) Honesty in Production and Distribution
The honesty in production and distribution cause a healthy economic environment. The honesty in production provides sufficient commodities needed for human life and all have necessary things of their use. The honesty in the distribution of the things produced and the benefits achieved protect common people from exploitation.
v) Honesty in the public welfare and the formation of government
The political environment is found suitable for the state when the leaders of nation think honestly for the welfare of the public living in the state. The government formed honestly makes the state strong. The honesty makes the relation between public and the government powerful. So Mahatma Gandhi has asserted that politics needs a strong moral support.
vi) True Religious Feeling
The true religious feeling is needed for a good environment. The religion is known as the basis of human life and society. So the religion should be developed not on the basis of communal feeling but on the basis of true religious feeling. The true religious feeling is the positive form of environmental non-violences.
In this way the environmental non-violence is found in the happy, healthy and fraternal peaceful environment.
