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.

Earthjustice is a wonderful organization. They are also working to prevent the harmful and destructive hydraulic hydrofracturing for natural gas in New York State. I will always support Earthjustice.

We must clean up our air. Corporations have gotten away with polution
for too long. Too many people have asthma, lung cancer, etc. because
of the dirty air. -
