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.

Clean air and water are essential for humans and other species. Clean air will mitigate global warming too, which already is making the sea rise and weather become more harsh.

Breathing has become so popular and an aalmost indispensable part of our lives, that we need to do everything possible to allow this to continue, especially if we can do it without contracting a terminal disease.

Did you know that pollution from coal plants has been linked to four of the five leading causes of death in the United States? Pollution from cars, trucks, and other diesel powered vehicles also contributes. Clean air is a necessity, unless you prefer money to people.
