Well not really. Lots of technology is made to stop pollution, or even clean it up some. Not all technology causes pollution.

Improvements in technology usually mean less pollution. Especially if governments are mandating pollution reduction.

Hehehe. In one sense, anytime you make something that would not happen 'naturally' in Nature, you're creating something that shouldn't be there and, by definition, polluting.
OTOH, nobody would claim that a beavers dam was 'polluting' anything. They're animals creating an object for their own use and benifit. And that dam may well flood several hundred acres of woodland, kill thousands of trees and many acres of grass (to say nothing of the homes of various burrowing species) and generally screw up the habitat of many hundreds of species of plants and other animals who had been living in that area. So, from that point of view, what's the difference (aside from scope) between a beavers dam and an automobile?

Not at all. Sometimes it means less pollution.
