Some people believe that factories and private tour operators should bear the cost of cleaning up environmental pollution, instead of the government. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Environmental

pollution

is one of the major problems that we face today. The causes of environmental

pollution

are many. Vehicles are an important source of pollutants. So are factories. The fast growth of tourism has

also

led to the polluting of many beautiful regions of the world. Needless to say, some people believe that companies and private

tour

operators should be asked to bear the

cost

of cleaning up. After all, they play a very significant role in polluting the

environment

. But is it fair? Let’s examine. There is no denying the fact that factories play a very significant role in polluting the

environment

. Factories release poisonous gases and other

waste

products that are harmful to the

environment

. Sometimes these

waste

products which are full of hazardous substances are simply dumped into oceans and rivers. In many countries there are strict rules and regulations that require factories to clean up the

waste

they produce.

However

, in many parts of the world no

such

rules exist and industrialization is regarded as a necessary evil. Of course, factories generate jobs. They

also

produce goods to satiate our needs. But that doesn’t mean that they should be allowed to pollute the planet. In fact, if factories are held responsible for cleaning up the

pollution

they cause, they will adopt newer technologies that are less polluting.

Tour

operators can be held responsible for the

pollution

in many tourist spots. Some of the most beautiful regions in the world that attract millions of visitors every year have become some sort of dumping ground for

waste

. Plastic bottles and carry bags that visitors throw around have made these places unclean and

unhygienic

. Unlike

pollution

caused by factories,

this

problem can be solved to a great extent by making

tour

operators responsible for cleaning up. When they realize that they will have to do the cleaning up, they will definitely take measures that ensure responsible behaviour from their clients. On the flip side, tourism and factories are not the only causes of

pollution

. There are several others too.

For example

, vehicles are the number one source of atmospheric

pollution

. Air travel is another. Even the refrigerator that we use at home contributes towards polluting the

environment

. After

analyzing

consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning

analysing

the situation, it is not hard to see the role factories and

tour

operators play in polluting the

environment

. So it is only fair to ask them to bear the

cost

of cleaning up. On the flip side, they are not the only causes of

pollution

. So there is no point in expecting them to bear the total

cost

. After all, both tourism and industries are good for the economic growth of a nation. An ideal solution is to divide the

cost

of cleaning up between governments and factories or

tour

operators.
