According to an article,‘“Many technologies can be used to remove pollutants from soil and water. For example, charcoal filters can remove contaminants; certain chemicals can neutralize or bond with pollutants; microorganisms can be used to break down chemicals; and certain plants can be used to extract or break down pollutants”’ (Mavis Kent 2017). As these pollutant-reversing technologies are being created, it is developing a new way people can view pollution. Technology is usually at easy access to many, so if these new technologies that are reversing the effects of pollution become very accessible to everyday humans; there could be a huge movement for pollution prevention in the near future. Not only are new technologies taking a stand to pollution, so are factories. According to a N.A.S.A. video, “coal burning plants have cut out a lot of the harmful pollutants before they reach the air” (CNN 2014). Factories are a big part in the contribution to pollution. By coal-burning plants trying to eliminate their amount of pollution, it can make a huge difference in how much cleaner the air can be. On the other hand, many people do not believe in the reverse, nor prevention of
