Answer:
Environment generally includes rocks, minerals, soil, water, land, rivers, sea, plants etc. Environmental problems begin with the man and ends with the man as the victim.
That is why it is said ?Let the polluters pay?.
(1) Rapid population growth is a major factor responsible for environment pollution. It has been rightly observed that much of the environmental destruction in the form of deforestation can be traced to humankind?s struggle to feed a rapidly growing population.
(2) Rapid industrialization has also caused environmental pollution. The discharge of industrial waste in the water resources causes water pollution.
Polluters pay the price in the following ways:
(1) More than one billion people in developing countries have no access to safe and clean drinking water. About 2.6 million people of those countries remain deprived of sanitation.
(2) Throughout the world, the area under cultivation is decreasing day-by-day because of the construction of colonies, factories etc.
(3) Polluted environment has increased various diseases which are very harmful.
