Betsy elliott, chapter 4, question #6

While reading this chapter it talked about DDT and air pollution. Something I read that was very surpassing was in 2000 in New Delhi, India there was a protest  about the terrible air pollution. But they weren't protesting for a cleaner enviroment they were protesting because the supreme court in India closed Ninty thousand small factories that polluted the air. And those factories employed roughly some million or so people. The people of Mew Delhi did not care for the pollution, they wanted their jobs. I was wondering, what should the role of the government be when it involes air pollution? Should they be allowed to close any factories that is polluting the enviroment even if that means taking away millions of jobs? Well first I think they should try to make the factories cleaner before they full close. There is more benefit of cleaner factories then just closing thousand of factories that create goods.
