Industrial pollution-why should I care?

Industries and factories have been polluting the water bodies in and around Dhaka city for the longest time. It is clear that protecting the environment is not one of the top priorities. I am not even surprised. We, even me, pollute our cities with trashes. So how will the owners of these factories, with hardly any education be conscious about the environment, feel the need to protect the environment? The long term benefits are invisible, but short term gain in cash is not. It is up to us, maybe the government, to make sure that people with money and power realize the need for a cleaner Bangladesh. After the Digital Bangladesh plan, we should initiate a Clean Bangladesh plan.
