答案 Is Environmental Pollution a Crime? When it comes to crimes, we invariably talk about stealing, robbing and killing, and some other offenses, which cause damages to people’s possessions and lives and therefore must be punished by law. Probably not many people associate crimes with environmental pollution. But in view of its increasingly serious consequences, pollution is undoubtedly an act that also deserves legal punishment. Anyone who doubts this point needs only to look at what the nature is suffering as a result of man’s shortsightedness and greed. Ever since the industrial revolution, man has been slowly poisoning his environment in the mad pursuit of material things. Now the sky is darkening with choking and stinging air hovering over cities; misused insecticides are killing plants and wildlife; Sewage-filled rivers are causing a rapid loss of drinking water and an valuable food supply -- fish. Besides these horrible facts, there is also the enormous financial cost involved in the so-called environmental projects. Take a small paper-making factory as an example. The factory may have provided employment for local people and contributed 100,000 yuan income tax to the society. But on the other hand, it also polluted a river by pouring sewage into it. To save the river, the government may have to spend a million on the sewage-treatment projects. So there is no overestimating the losses pollution is causing, both direcdy and indirectly, to human beings. And there is certainly no exaggeration in considering pollution as a crime. It’s time to seriously carry out environmental laws to protect the earth -- our home.
