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 believe the care of our environment is the single most important issue of our time. I meditate a little easier knowing there are organizations like Earthjustice working on our behalf for the welfare of the world.

My power company, Dominion, in Virginia has a multi-decade plan to produce power from antiquated coal operations, as well as to build several new coal power plants. One plant would be on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay, in the wetlands, waiting to destroy these ecosystems and to get buried as the ocean rises. This is what happens when considering climate change in planning is not mandated. Wow -- clueless or criminal?
