Pollution is always a consequence of exploitation of resources
What will be an ideal response?
There must be a disturbance locally to exploit a resource. There will at least be a
local pollution problem for most extraction unless great care is exercised. Some examples
of successful reduction of pollution may include pumping of saline water from oil wells
back into the formation, pumping mineral-laden brine back underground after exploiting
hot, wet steam, etc. These shining examples are currently the exception.
