Answer:

Industrial Revolution has degraded the environment since its initiation

Step-by-step explanation:

Industrial revolution led to usage of natural resources like coal, fossil fuel etc at a very fast pace thereby causing its depletion. The waste released from the industries is disposed into air, water and land. Industrialization also led to increase in urbanization and population explosion which led to clearance of forests and development of concrete jungles.
