This book is very good. Got a reading memory reminder today on my facebook feed.
From Seyyed Hossein Nasr's "Man and Nature - The spiritual crisis in modern man"
Those interested in the confluence of Dharma-Ecology-Economy can relate to this.

"Many claim, for example, that if we could only change our means of transportation and diminish the use of fossil fuels as a source of energy, the problem would be solved or at least ameliorated.."
+
+
"Few ask, however, why it is that modern man feels the need to travel so much.."
+
+
"Why is the domicile of much of humanity so ugly and life so boring that the type of man most responsible for the environmental crisis has to escape the areas he has helped to vilify ..."
+
+
"...and take his pollution with him to the few still well-preserved areas of the earth in order to continue to function?"
+
+
"Why must modern man consume so much and satiate his so-called needs only outwardly? Why is he unable to draw from any inward sustenance?"
+
+
"We are, needless to say, not opposed to better care of the planet through the use of wiser means of production, transportation, etc. than those which exist today. Alternative forms of technology are to be welcomed....."
+
+
"But such feats of science and engineering alone will not solve the problem"
+
+
"There is no choice but to answer these and similar questions and to bring to the fore the spiritual dimension and the historical roots of the ecological crisis which many refuse to take into consideration to this day"
