Yes, the industrial community should be held accountable for its share of pollution, and there should be much more awareness among the populace at large as to its (our) part in preventing pollution, or at least, at trying to limit it. Americans (and probably Canadians) generate so much waste it is apalling. We overpackage things, drive too many gas guzzlers, use too many polluting gadgets (like lawn mower and chain saws), chop down too many trees when building new housing communities, etc. (and I'm as much a part of the problem as others, sad to say). We literally need to clean up our act for the health of our planet.
