Who told you that modern manufacturing produces less pollution? It may produce less of some things, but plastic and evergy use is way up in recent years. For example, a modern car has far less recyclable or recycled content than one from the 80s (more plastic, less steel).

On top of that even if we made cars (and other things) less polluting we still use xxx% more than 50 years ago.
I always use the plane engine analogy, 10 years of research gives you a 3% boost in fuel efficiency, during the same time you doubled the number of flights per day ....
