Yes, to a great extent. But increasing number of factories and vehicles are creating so much of pollution that everyone needs to participate on warfooting basis.City like Delhi has expanded its green area manifold which has resulted in better pollution control.
To a certain extent yes it has been successful in controlling the environmental issues or else the position might have been more worse than what we see today!!!
Not at all . only green plants can't remove complete pollution. to avoid pollution one must decrease the emission of toxic gases which spoils the environment and which are also harmful plants.
I think, regardless of the success rate it presently has, we still have to work hard to make it more successful, because the way things stand, we can't afford for it not to work!
Another fact about Green revolution, apart from controlling pollution, is that it has helped India to upgrade from a food deficient country to one of the world's leading agricultural nation....
Whatever green revolution achieves by forestation and planting more trees is offset by acquiring land for various purposes and cutting trees. Now we have jungles of concrete. even water shortage is surfacing as a result. We need to reverse the trend of mindless development and industrialization and enlarge the area of forests. This may control pollution.
I think the term 'Green Revolution' was coined in the late sixties to meet the acute food shortages and this movement was launched to exponentially increase yield of land and the results were quite revolututionary but it came at a cost.Drawal of water from water table was huge and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides actually contributed to degradation of environment!!!What do you say on that?
