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.

It really is a "no brainer"......without clean, unpolluted air, not much else matters....if anything! Too many people all over the world have breathing issues and it only gets worse very year....more and more children have asthma....and I can't imagine being a young child and not being able to breathe....

For far too long the greedy profiteering of big industry has wreaked havoc on our air quality and quality of life. It is time to stand up to the selfish few in the name of sensibility, reason, and our own physical health: we and the planet deserve clean air more than big polluting industries deserve grossly high profits. We have the technology to clean up our air quality, and it is past the time to implement it.

Those of us without any breathing problems and live in the country take clean air for granted until circumstances change and we don't have it anymore. We all need to do everything we can to make sure clean air is everywhere!

Access to clean air and water are fundamental rights, and polluters, regardless of their other economic contributions, must be held to a high standard for reducing and eliminating their wastes. We must not continue to allow polluters to externalize the costs of cleaning up their messes. If they can not or will not take full responsibility for their noxious emissions, they don't deserve to exist.
