I feel like there should be a small, early way to combat pollution. I think that the best thing would be to add an effect to pastures and catnip fields where they reduce pollution by a very small margin as by planting more plants, the plants should consume carbon dioxide. Because they would reduce by such a small amount it allows carbon sequestration to still be useful after you have ramped up production using factories.

It wrecks havoc on your catnip production and can lower happiness. Currently my catnip production is down 44% because of it.
