How was environment treated earlier? What has been the change in perception? Discuss.

If we look few years back than our environment was considered a free entity which anyone could spoil. In earlier times there was no rule or law to protect our environment. People at that time were not aware and there were no actions taken by the government against those who spoil the environment.

After the Bhopal Gas Tragedy there were many issues that came forefront. Several laws has been introduced by the government of our country to protect our environment. After this court has declared that government is responsible for checking the pollution and also to punish those people who violates the environment.
