On the one hand, there is the huge environmental pollution that is happening as human beings continue in their relentless quest to construct a world of their desires. But on the other hand, there prevails throughout the cosmos a completely pollution-free industry which has been in existence for aeons. This is the industry of Nature. Human beings have completely failed to create pollution-free industries. But on the very same planet where we presently live Nature has been running, since the very beginning, completely pollution-free industries, and that too on a huge scale!

Despite being so far, it continuously sends to Earth light and heat, without which life here would be impossible. In this process too there is no pollution at all!
