I would define pollution as waste products we don’t want in a place we don’t want them.
Advantages
The waste is separated or produced by modification from from the things that we use and makes the uses of those things better for us in some way, as increasing the properties of the thing that we find useful, making it more efficient, making it less harmful to us and so on.
Another advantage is that what is waste to one person may become very useful to another for a different application. So, for instance, what made John Rockefeller rich (besides standardizing and organizing business practices for competitive advantage) was to take the huge part of petroleum that people believed were waste and refine it into useful products. Or a more current example, I’ve recently read that the rare earth mining slag that is ‘pollution’ is actually enriched for things that can be useful to us in the future such as thorium. Stewart Brand recommends not burying nuclear waste too deep, because in the future we will consider it a resource. Numerous other example abound.
Disadvantages
The pollution is waste built up in a relatively pure form, in a place where it can harm humans or harm and mar the environment where humans live or which they care about. There’s no way to stop pollution, but we can change it (use it for something else, or make it less harmful), we can make substantially less by changing the processes we use to get what we want. In the end, we can’t get rid of all of it, so the solutions are basically to disperse it so it’s not harmful, or put it someplace where it doesn’t bother us. Stewart Brand suggests in the future our landfills and other waste depositories will also become resources. In some ways they already are.
