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.

Earthjustice, a lawyer for our planet can most effectively defend our environment against corporate polluters.

It is an utter disgrace that polluting energy sources are given not only a seat, but a large stick at the table of public debate over our energy generation future. The technologies to free us from the harmful environmental and political effects of continued reliance on fossil fuels are here *NOW*. It is only through bold initiatives, however, that they will be enabled to become the significant majority of our energy generation capabilities that will then free us from the tyranny of foreign governments and the destruction of the natural world around us.

We all breathe the same air. Even polluters, and their children, and their grandchildren, breathe the same air as the rest of us. They have the same lungs, and get the same asthma, as the rest of us. Clean up the air!

We have two old coal-fired electric plants in Chicago and another just over the Indiana border that spew pollutants into our air. Earthjustice is a great organization working to end such problems.

Earth Justice has a lot of accomplishments under their belt. They are effective, knowledgeable, professional and have a polished easy to use web site. They are one of my favorite organizations in regards to environmental policy, and I am very active politically. Our grandchildren are relying on US, not politicians or corporations to clean up the mess we've made of our planet. We get one shot at this and time is running out.
Let's get it right, and do it together. We can be part of the solution or part of the problem, right? -

Push hard for clean air that all of us can breathe safely. A side-benefit - reduced greenhouse gases and all that other good stuff
