ultimate means (energy, matter, genetic diversity)
The basic relationship between the Indian perception of environmental awareness for understanding the man's ability to adapt both physically and mentally to the continuing changes in environment should be stressed. Environmental education is a need for harnessing a prosperous and flourishing society to suggest the application of mass media technology. Mass media should be oriented in such a way that they act as social carriers of technological innovations and ideas together with the proper environmental awareness aspects associated with the religion and environment.
The attainment of ultimate ends depends on effective processes at every step. Having plenty of material goods, health and education does no good, if one does not know how to turn them into happiness and fulfillment. Having land, labour, capital, energy in abundance does not help, if the political and economic systems use them wastefully or inequitably. Having a bountiful earth is not enough, if there is no effective technology for harvesting the bounty. And, of course, having technology, politics, economics, and ethics, all in place does not help, if the foundation of the pyramid, the earth's material energy, and biological systems are not healthy.
