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.

As far as the eye can see, unless there is a lot of particulates in the air.

I live in one of the most polluted areas in the country. Both of my children have childhood asthma, and it only manifests here, not when we travel back east. The air is never clear here; we live in a constant haze.

Earthjustice is one of the most effective organizations in protecting the environment and our endangered wildlife from the special interest groups.

When I moved here 52 years ago, we could very clearly see magnificent Mt. Rainier, 14,411 feet, 39 miles from our windows. Now factory smoke and hugely increased cars' exhaust have befogged it each day--often with a dirty brown smog. That can and should be changed!

No more permits to pollute, whether from fossil fuel, chemical, nuclear, agricultural runoff or waste or any other polluting entity.

All kids are exposed to lead in the dirt from all the years of lead in car exhaust fumes. We can never clean it up. It is permanent toxic filth. Nice.

I want my ten grandchildren to live their lives free from the air and water contaminants that insufficiently regulated factories and coal-fired electric power plants that impose on us.

Living in an outspread suburb, I nevertheless suffer clogged breathing passages, because I moved here from a prairie state farm--where I experienced nothing of these air contaminants.
