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.

In order to keep a clean air standard companies and corporations should seek scientific alternatives to substitute the traditional energy consumption.

If we don't do a lot better job of protecting the environment -- a lot of people are going to live to regret it.

It doesn't require much rhetoric to emphasize the urgent need for cleaner air in the USA or abroad. Since the US is a formidable superpower, we should be leading the fight, as it were, for cleaner air and stricter air quality standards! Therefore, our elected officials should busier than bees on passing such standards in the House and the Senate. It's high time for the end of payola from major corporations to get our elected officials off of their backs! After all, it's for our and our children's better health and well-being!

Good air and water are critical for a society that has the money to pay for it. I am in full support of whatever is necessary to accomplish this.

Crimes against nature are a criminal offence and should be prosecuted accordingly. Polluting air and water, life essentials not just for human but for all life on earth is clearly a criminal offence, not just a minor misdemeanor.

As a resident of the Upper Ohio Valley, one of the diritest air quality areas of the United States, I can personally attest to the continuing need to work to make the air cleaner. Cap and trade is simply a way to allow areas like ours to remain dirty with poor air quality from all the industry and power plants. We need strict regulations on air quality that are enforced. Earthjustice is a powerful force for clean air!
