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 seems that the great polluters are the ones who continually manage to dodge environmental laws and continue their dirty business--to the detriment of all living things. It's time to end this ridiculous business.

Earthjustice continues the fight for clean air since I became active in the environment movement in the 1980's. Vote early and vote often. Give them the grant to continue their efforts.

Man or I should say "THE MAN" is destroying our habitat. No doubt he will survive longer than the rest of us when this planet is no longer able to sustain the masses but should we allow him to do this to us? I mean come on, we are the masses.

Please support clean air legislation and regulation, the financial interest is to not do it unless you are required to do it. Let's require it!
