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.

The world requires clean air for everyone; no exceptions. We must demand that polluters clean up their act!

If it weren't for the work of Earthjustice and its partners such as the Center for Biological Diversity and others, polluters and those trying to roll back EPA and Endangered Species Act would have free rein. Go, Earthjustice!

What is the matter with all these people that don't care if they pollute every thing and anything. Do they want their children and grandchildren to have a clean and safe planet or do they just want money and power.

Earthjustice fights the legal battles to keep our world less polluted. Unfortunately they shouldn't even be needed if our own environmental laws were actually enforced by the EPA. Keep up the great work!

Earth Justice allows for the protection of our most precious resources that cannot defend themselves. I have been an online activist for Earth Justice for the past several years. Thank you for all your hard work and for allowing me to participate in the process.

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." ~ Chief Sealth (Seattle)
Basically, what we are doing to ourselves is killing. When will we learn that this is our ONLY home? -

When are we just going to see that what we do now really affects our future generations, future DNA, for all living creatures, not just humans. Please love the Earth!!! She's all we got!! She loves us and is waiting for us to stop destroying so much! It's time for humans to learn different ways of being technicologically smart. using technology for us in all ways, not just quickness. Thinking before we enact something and really putting all points into thought, like: Can we clean this up if it gets out of hand, Can we produce without taking too much, can we recycle what we have now to make this? All this things help. Please be smarter!
