The word 'eco' relates to ecology and environment. Thus this prefix is attached with some of the branches of knowledge and various disciplines. The famous term eco-friendly suggests human's friendly behavior with ecology and environment. Though we know that there are some certain reasons why we need to think about nature and ecology with serious brows. There are several gases which affect the ecosystem so badly that the natural cover of the Earth called Ozone layer is now getting reduced. These gases are Methane, Chlorofluorocarbon, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Sulfer Dioxide etc. The ecosystem requires refinement and freshness, which is now nowhere to be seen. Cities are becoming more and more polluted and the clean air is becoming rare. In such situation, what is literature doing in this field? Does it sing the songs of hereditary culture and high society by neglecting the harms to nature? How literature and criticism go along with nature and environment hand in hand ? In order to answer these questions, the term 'eco-criticism' comes forward to help.
