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 is critical that we take action and ensure our health and the health of the planet by stopping pollution. Contamination and lack of responsiblity are causing us to loose species due to habitat lose thus upsetting the balance of nature.

We all know that the big coal plants are the worst polluters and they are the ones kicking and screaming and spending lots of money on republicans not to enact any clean air bill. Those with deep pockets almost always get their way.

How much has to happen to this country before people realize that it's not OTHER people who are being made miserable? How many rivers have to catch fire? How many species do we lose? How many oil spill is one too many? How many environments near dump sites have to be considered polluted? How much carbon emissions in the lungs is too much? How deeply in denial does one have to be, and how the **** do you get there?
