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 to change the campaign contribution system and not allow corporations to contribute. only people can vote or contribute. God help us if this madness continues.

The only way to hold polluters accountable is to take them to court. That's what Earthjustice does and does it so well. Keep it up.

I think we have all become used to breathing. Let's keep that as safe and easy as possible. Raising awareness with a touch of humor is a good way of getting the clean air message across.

Big oil needs to order for the reproduction of the Tesla's Vandervilt Tower,
they are the ones to do it or they will fight it, by doing it, they will be able to produce electricity for homes and industry, to the whole world and without burning a single drop of oil.
I feel they could even use the same foundation Mr Tesla built for his tower.
Thanks

Why do we need clean air? That's the question? Oh god....

Earthjustice takes our cause to the courtroom where they confront pollutors on their own turf. Some things are simply more important than money and profit.

On Earth, air was designed to BREATHE and not to see. AIR, the real transparency!

Shame on you....not only pumping pollutants into our air, water and on our lands, but also pumping tens of thousands of dollars into the campaign coffers of politicians who will continue to do your bidding; which means evading and continuing to do your dirty business as usual. Shame on you!

Clean air is not something we should "HAVE" to demand.
