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.

Our first breath is proof we're alive, dirty air is the biggest insult you can do to your body. When the polluters have to pay the air will be cleaner.

Polluters have dodged responsibilities, but we--especially our youngest and our elderly--are paying the price in consequences: poor health, worsened environment, costs. We need EJ to take them on!

It is better to have clean air than not.

I've been fighting coal plants in Michigan for over 3 years now. Our plant in Holland has continued to ignore air pollution rules and is now in the midst of a law suit because of the dirty air it spews daily while the utility proposes an expansion of this plant! We have to educate everyone now--Dirty Air Stinks!

Life, on our only planet is an inalienable right,, entails breathing in and out. I want to exercise that right with clean, unpolluted air,

We would all like to remain alive and in reasonably good health. Without clean air,, this simple wish will go unfulfilled.

Stop the mass pollution of our air, water, and Earth. We need to do it NOW. Make the corporate polluters PAY for it ALL and cut into their PROFITS so they will think twice about how they pollute.
