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.

If they're gonna pollute, make them pay! That's the only way they'll change!

Thanks Earth Justice for being organized and energized and fighting for me!
Mindless greed has replaced caring for everyone's well-being - it's shocking. -

Earthjustice has been relentless in pursuing polluters and bringing many to justice through court actions.

That is a great idea to make a video which shows to the public what is going on with the corporations and pollution.

invisible pollution. You don't know until it afflicts a loved one or neighbor.

It is time that corporate America started thinking about the future of this nation and it's people instead of just profit. When you burn your house own, you have nowhere to go.

Thanks Earth Justice for all your hard work which I totally support. We need a totally clean environment all over the world. I hope "our" government is seriously working on getting it all cleaned up, & soon! But I think our government has "other" money-creating issues to help themselves.

If Dr Seuss were to write air polluters into a story, would those people read that story to their own children as they tucked them into their (death) beds?
