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.

If we all don't continue to act each and every day, each one of us in our own small ways in our own worlds, all other problems, political, social, economic, will be moot. We won't be here to have them.

Humor is a powerful tool: it makes the point without bludgeoning people or making them tune out.....

There's a commercial running on tv about responsibility by an insurance company that shows people watching out for and helping others. I think those who are using their intelligence to outwit the rules are outwitting their neighbors. A shame it takes public humiliation to motivate them to do what is right.

If we fail with this change our world will be too sick for us to care for soon. This is a necessity.
