No one in right senses would disagree that we are loosing natural resources in the name of technological advancement.
It is not that technological progress is not possible without hurting nature.
It is our greed for quick fix solutions that prevents careful use of resources and energies.
The selfish Man and not technology is the real culprit.

Knowledge is for action but actions are not based on knowledge. Environment itself is a technological advancement. Improper study, research and assessment of technology makes the loss of natural environ ments. One is the fertility for the other.

I prefer to say it this way,
we are loosing natural environment as a side effect of the human greed. and technology was used to achieve the target.
The greedyness is getting faster by the advancement of the technology

of course yes! because most of the technology today depends a lot on our environment in order to be used and utilize by the humans.

YES, WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATION WE CARE MORE ABOUT FOREIGN EXCHANGE TO BOOST THE G.D.P AND WE ARE EVEN PREPARED TO SACRIFICE THE ENVIRONMENT AS IN ECONOMICS OF WEALTH THERE IS NO PLACE FOR GOOD OR BAD ONLY AQUIRING THE WEALTH FOR THE NATION. HENCE THE QUESTION IS QUITE CORRECT
