I suspect that the huge industrial chimneys were used to vent the harmful gases produced during production as high up in the air as possible, so as to contaminate the air as little as possible. This works if there is not too much output and there is enough wind. But if there is too little wind and too much emission, bad air is created, which can lead to respiratory illnesses and infections. There is no perfect solution to this problem without a sacrifice in terms of reduced production or investment in filters or the like. We humans also need to blow off steam sometimes. When we are alone, this is more tolerable for the environment than when we are in the midst of people. Do you have means that help you to minimize these emissions? Maybe certain filters like forgiveness, love or conscious acceptance of the weaknesses of others or your own? Maybe it is worthwhile to invest in your spirit and soul hygiene. This serves you and the environment.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
