The emergence of the Industrial Revolution in the history of
             humankind has brought about significant changes that greatly altered the
             way human society lived. Through the Industrial Revolution, technologies
             that were never conceived to influence the way people accomplish their
             activities, making them easier and faster to do, have begun developing by
             the turn of 19th until the present century. Furthermore, technological
             inventions and innovations made possible the mass production of materials
             and gadgets that are mainly run by electricity, as well as plastics and
             other materials made up of man-made substances and chemicals.
             However, the birth of new technological development in human society
             has also endangered one aspect of human life that is, perhaps, the most
             essential element that keeps human beings alive on planet Earth. The
             deterioration of the environment is the main issue that is prevalently
             talked about regarding the disadvantages of the industrial and
             technological revolutions in human society. This issue is broadly
             addressed in Barry Commoner's book, entitled, Making Peace with the Planet.
             This book provides an in-depth analysis of the biological, geographical,
             and social dynamics of environmental deterioration due to technologies
             created by humans produced at an increasingly faster rate now compared to
             two centuries ago. In the book, Commoner posits that conflict between the
             environment and technologies mass produced by human society is the primary
             reason why the environment is deteriorating, and that "ecologically sound
             technologies" are the solution to prevent and eventually eliminate the
             environmental problem that humans are facing today.
             In discussing the issue of environmental crisis in the planet
             (Earth), Commoner centers on the aspect of technology as the primary
             catalyst that led to the problem of environmental degradation. The author
