Environment is everything that promotes, individually and collectively, health and happiness amongst all forms of life on this planet Earth. Since man is the highest evolved creature on the Earth, it is his prime duty as well as responsibility to keep this phenomenon performing. The Earth provides enough to satisfy man's every need, but not for anybody's greed In this context, the Agenda 21 of the Rio Declaration (June 1992) on Environment and development in a comprehensive blue print for global action in all areas of sustainable development. Yet, the status of Environment can be seen from the southern California's Big bear Solar observatory that as seen from space, the Earth is growing dimmer as it warms. Further, according to the research sponsored in part by the NASA and published in the current issue of Geophysical Research letters, the earth has dimmed by about 2.5 percent over the last five years. The Earth's brightness - known as Earth shine - is thus an important gauge of the health and happiness prevailing on this planet
