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.

We need cleaner air I thank it’s sad to think if our four fathers came back to life they would take one breath of the air we are breathing and fall down chocking to death. And that is the truth it’s very sad!

It seems that the Republicans are always against Clean Air and the EPA. Tea Party people are only a fragment of the Republican Party. To get clean air for the future, I'd like for organized religion to take a stand. Especially in the Republican and Baptist dominated South!

For too long there has been no consequence for destroying the environment. Earthjustice has come to the rescue and they are making a difference. Only public pressure will make the polluters stop their destructive actions. Thank you Earthjustice!
