Abstract

The thesis of this chapter is there are two kinds of environments and both are very important to man’s well being. At times the requirements of one are in conflict with those of the other; compromises must be made because society cannot be healthy unless both environments are healthy. The first is the physical environment, and second is the economic environment.
