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.

The worse polluters are the animal food industry - more than transportation and more than all the other industries together. UN report state that a major reduction in meat consumption must be followed if we want to make any significant reduce of air pollution and global warming.
Before calling other to change, everyone should test himself and reduce his own carbon footage. A movie that will help reducing the pollution is a movie that promotes environmental friendly consumption, such as suggested here:

Someone has to stand up for Gaia and take legal action against those who would destroy her.

Every sort of campaign reminding multinational companies and governments that what's good for the economy - on a short term basis - and good for companies, is not always the 'common good'.

More children suffer from asthma and respiratory illnesses than ever before. If polluters refuse to clean up the air for the children, who will they clean it up for? Thank you Earthjustice for fighting the good fight for our children and for humanity. Everyone has a right to clean air!

Les vrais responsables de la pollution de l'air, c'est nous tous. Et pas uniquement les grandes sociétés.
Ce qu'il faudrait faire ?
1) Diminuer le nombre d'humains sur cette planète. Presque 7 milliards, c'est trop. Un enfant par couple, c'est suffisant.
2) Ne plus utiliser de voiture que quand c'est vraiment nécessaire. Sinon, utiliser les transports en commun : train, tram, bus, vélo et marche à pied. -

You know... the planet isn't going to arrive at a point where it's fed up and gets mad and do something "to us". Rather it will continue to calmly, slowly change to something else... the atmosphere, the oceans will become chemically different than the way they were when it brought our species and all the others we have shared Earth with for so long forth and have pretty much remained for millions of years. Nature will find a new equilibrium amid all the exotic, toxic waste we have strewn everywhere, bring forth new creatures that can break it down and utilize it's elemental properties in their cell structures but what we don't seem to realize in sufficient numbers is that we will in all likelihood not be part of that new reality. What emerges will be Earth life, but will as different from the ecosystems we know now as the ecosystem of the Cretaceous was to the world of right now or as the Cambrian was to the Cretaceous. We are blowing it big time. Just as with the life forms of those eras, all this we are will never be again.
