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.

We do not own the earth; we hold it in trust for future generations. We need to protect our earth or there will be nothing left for future generations.

Put energy company CEO's in a sealed room, pump it full of the toxic filth they spew into our air, and make them stay there for a day. If they live, they might learn something about the effects of pollution on the human body.

Earth Justice is one of the few organisations working on the side of the planet. We support their efforts 100% and we back that support up with our votes at the polls and with how and where we spend. Killing the planet and dooming your fellow human beings to lives of misery should not be allowed to remain an anonymous crime. It's time for polluters to come out of the closet and reap the rewards for their "labors".

I, like many, many am shocked that politics has interfered with Obama's pleadge to tackle Global Warming. This is not a back burner issue. It's up front right now.

Many companies operate on the principal short term profits are more important than the damage they do to our environment in the long run. It is unfortunate that they must be forced to do the right thing since they continue to have no respect for our environment or the people that live in it.

We all need to stop wanting the stuff that we consume that causes the pollution. If there was no greed, maybe there would not be pollution. Take responsibility people!

Polluters must acknowledge the hidden costs and not so hidden costs of their law breaking ways.
