Energy shortages, power crises, petro-chemical pollutants, ozone depletion, hazardous waste, nuclear radiation, bioengineered crops – these are all the nightmares of a technological world raging forward against natural laws. In the midst of this technological onslaught, we have become conditioned to believe that technology is the inherently evil nemesis of nature forever destined to be Yin and Yang at incompatible odds with one another. Our modern society perpetuates this belief that one must be sacrificed for the other. This belief has left available only the illusory options of either abandoning the “urban” life for huts in the forest, and cots in the ashram, or supporting a society which plunders natural resources to sustain the modern lifestyle of our unabated modern day consumerism.
