People began polluting primarily due to industrialization and urbanization, which led to increased production and consumption of goods. The rise of factories and the burning of fossil fuels released significant amounts of pollutants into the air, water, and soil. Additionally, a lack of awareness about environmental impacts and the prioritization of economic growth over ecological health contributed to the escalation of pollution. As societies developed, the convenience and benefits of modern technology often overshadowed the consequences of environmental degradation.
