It is widely acknowledged that wealthy people generate more pollution or carbon emissions(排放) than the less fortunate.

While many companies have taken modest steps to reduce pollution, emissions are still increasing    10    will possibly stay that way until the governments of major polluters force companies to gradually switch from fossil fuels.
