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.

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!

The day of reckoning has already begun. Using the earth as our toilet has consequences and the consequences are that human bodies have become the filters for the contents of the toilet.

We all need clean air to live healthy, productive lives. Polluters should not have the right to pump filth into the air or into our water. Earthjustice is the lead counsel for environmental issues in this country. Keep up the fight.
