Dodging Pollution: An Underdog Story
Earthjustice - Non-Profit - www.earthjustice.org
Some of the worst air polluters have dodged controls for decades, pumping dirty air that makes playing outside a dangerous game for kids across the U.S. Though 2011 brings unprecedented opportunities to clean up these polluters, only public pressure can counteract the polluter lobby's influence. A humorous video can help: in a dodgeball game between kids and pollution, large men dressed as mercury, soot, and other pollutants hurl dodgeballs labeled with diseases (e.g. asthma ) while kids counter with balls marked "health" and "clean air". The message: join the kids' team to ensure dirty industries don't dodge clean air rules again.

The earth is our mother, and we must be her protector, for without her, there is no future.

My son has asthma, and when you watch your kid struggle to breathe you know that there is nothing more important than clean air for all people.

Corporations, world wide, must be held accountable for the pollution they produce lest we kill the planet and ourselves.

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned & the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

Now more than in the last 2 years, we must be active to rebuff the corporate cash and Republicans for the environment.

Now we really have to fight to get the Clean Air Act signed, and keep the EPA! More worried now than I have been in years, with the new Congress.

The far right is already wanting to eliminate the EPA. I am worried more now, due to the recent election results, of even greater polution and harm to our environment!
