Struggling to Survive

This is seen in front of a factory in the small-middle size industrial estate. Most of the factories are running in mess condition with lack of environmental care. The vacant land behind these trees might be a tin mine in the past as it is covered by white sand & consists of a lake. Although trees are planted alongside the road but some are already gone, leaving the dead trunk. Could it be a result of hazardous environment torture or other reasons? I don't think the factories owner care about it. They would rather focus on higher sales at lowest cost than trees & environment, which they believe is none of their business.
