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 time is now. Pollution has got to stop. There's no good reason to keep allowing it.

Earth Justice to the Rescue!!!
...just remember: the human race is on the endangered species list whether or not we acknowledge this, respecting and caring for our earth, trees (lungs of our earth), waters, air, animals and each other is essential if humanity is to survive on this planet. -

We have to address this now, not later. The environment can't wait until we get around to it. We need to push, shout, scream and demand action now from our leaders. The time is now.

Man is the most destructive creature on Earth. How can we "police" the planet when we don't take care of the planet as we are suppose to. Due to our overpopulating there isn't much room for the rest of the animal kingdom. We need to take a step back & see how we can adjust our ways for the good of all.

Humans are the nastiest creatures on earth, have no respect for animals, land, water, air, other humans. Therefore, regulating these nasty creatures is a full-time job. We absolutely must regulate, patrol, enforce pollution in this country. Neighbor by neighbor, individual by individual, group by group, company by company. All of us must become whistle blowers!

Clean air is a basic right and plays a big role in keeping our immune systems strong. Sometimes it is so polluted it is downright scary. Our air should be a top priorty.

I not big on religion or the Bible but as I recall: in the book of Geness it is stated that man shall have dominion over animals and the earth. This I would interpret to mean to care for and not destroy.
