"'''Pollution'''" (also known as "'''The Ministry of Pollution'''"{{citation needed|date=September 2019}}) is an episode of the [[United Kingdom|British]] [[comedy]] television series ''[[The Goodies (TV series)|The Goodies]]''. Written by [[The Goodies]], with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

==Plot==
Tim, Graeme and Bill are having a hard time living inside while the entire country is polluted. When they travel to [[Eastbourne]], they notice how widespread the [[pollution]] is. They discover that the Ministry for Pollution is responsible for the problem by destroying environment in England's grass-fields, farm-fields, forests and beaches and set up an [[embezzlement]] to farmers as a pose for putting things right.

The Goodies learn about the Minister Of Pollution's scheme for making money for the national economy and the British government, including the Prime Minister, are under the influence of the Pollution making Ministry. The trio force take the matter into their hands by arranging an anti-polluting mixture of Graeme's development for clearing the atmosphere and creating widespread grass to overcome the pollution, by seeding the clouds with grass seeds and fertiliser, and the results are far beyond their wildest dreams. Cars can no longer be driven, because the streets cannot be seen, and everybody grows grass instead of hair. Lawn mowers are in fashion as transport — also in fashion are tiny garden ornaments and scarecrows which are made especially for wearing in people's hair. Birds also profit by being able to build nests in the hair.

Although all seems to be [[Wiktionary:idyllic|idyllic]], the Goodies find that there is an unexpected [[Wiktionary:drawback|drawback]] to their [[environmentalism|environmental]] solution to the problem.
