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.

I sometimes am psychologically afraid to breath the bad air in the valley I live in, and I think it has affected my lung capacity, I mean the fear and less deep breathing. I know that when weather clears the air out, it is really refreshing to be able to see everything and know that the air is cleaner. I just love going traveling to outdoor areas where I am close to nature and the air is clean. I feel more like exercising outdoors in places like that. Luckily there are places up in the mountains close to where I live for hiking and seeing beautiful scenery and wildlife where the air is clean. It's just that our city has gotten so big and crowded. I will try and exercise when the air is cleaner here in the valley. Clean air also clears out your head and brings positive emotions.

Clean air is not a business expense, but a civic responsibility for businesses in our communities.
