Question

First, is it possible to have zero pollution? Next, even if it is possible, would we want to achieve zero pollution? Lastly, do you think there is too much pollution, and if so why?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The pollution of the environment is considered a serious issue and is important damage to the environment. As a result, pollutions should be controlled and reduced to the minimum in the economy. But the level of zero pollution is not at all possible and at least in the near future. This is because, the pollution will be created by each and every process of production and as a result, if zero pollution is to be achieved, the economy should stop every process of production or else go for very advanced and refined methods and machinery for production. But even then, there will be some sort of pollutants produced as a byproduct of the production process.
