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.

You have my vote and my unwavering support. I hope to work for you guys some day. I'm still in college, and planning to do PeaceCorps, so it'll be a little while. Good luck with the video, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
