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.

If we keep on destroying this planet, we have nowhere else to go. Protect this world and start working on fixing what we've already messed up.

I understand that jobs are important to people, especially these days. But, we can't sacrifice the environment we live in to make money. We just can't. We have nowhere to go if we pollute this beautiful planet beyond repair. We need our quiet, untouched wilderness areas to relax and remember the joys in life when faced with so much stress. We are responsible for protecting them for the future. Thank God for Earthjustice.
