Cost of life or deaths
Pollution is silent killer; it’s
not a bullet but a slow poison which takes the life gradually and especially of
that careless lot which does not pay heeds to its harmful effects and does not
take any kind of precautionary measures. Once a little kid forbade an unaware
person throwing a wrapper into the sea; that person could not stop his laughter
and shrugged off the advice of little kids. He could have thought it a trivial
matter to throw a small wrapper into the sea and was not aware of collective
damage if thousands of such acts are done daily on various coasts of the world.
This is the main reason that we take our individual carelessness about environmental care in isolation and don’t bother to imagine its collective
impact on the environment. It means wherever a death is occurred due to pollution all the polluters of the world are responsible for it. It ups to us
whether we are able to recall our any act of polluting the environment if we did
so it means we also contributed in total deaths in the world occurred due to
menace of pollution. In this way every polluter is killer in this world. Who
amongst us are polluters, we should ask this question to our conscience.
Environmental damages
Environmental damage is another
cost of pollution. In most part of the world mankind has no clean air to breathe,
no pure water to drink and no uncontaminated food to eat. Alas! All these boons
were created for the mankind but we ourselves have destroyed them and now yearning
for their pure quality. It means we are not only hitting the environment but
also doing so our own wellbeing. Pollution has damaged air quality, land
features and water purity. Now human being itself is mulling over how to
rectify its errors of past and mistakes of present by its own race.
Financial losses
Unfortunate and hapless are those
industrialists who owing to their short sightedness are avoiding environmental
compliance and violating the green laws just to save their manufacturing cost.
They poor beings do not know in the long run they are hiking their
manufacturing cost because when they would be continuing polluting the
environment they would get every input with low quality and higher prices
because of environmental damages which would affect the production of every
material. So it is not matter of concern how much pollution is costing us
financially now but the main concern is how much it would cost us in near
future.
Moral decay
Pollution directly affects of our morals. We can
see what is happening all around the world morally. There is dog-eats-dog
competition in every sphere of life and everyone is trying to beat the other in
every materialistic pursuit and no one is paying heed on ethical values and
moral standards. What apparently one has is the sole criteria to assess the
level of humanity in one and hence why peace of all types is nowhere in the
world. This is the heaviest cost of pollution.
