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.

I hope that the work of Eathjustice continues and that pollution as the result of making money is stoped. What right does business have to make pollution as part of business?

We need watchdogs that believe the quality of life on earth is more important than making a dollar.

As a healthcare worker, I see the affects that poor air quality has on people today, even if they don't smoke. I think it is vital that issues like air and water get addressed now. The world is quickly deteriorating and we do not have all the time in the world, as many would like to think.
