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.

Support creation of clean, renewable energy sources. Do not build any more coal fired power plants. Make all dirty coal fired power plants clean up their operations to make the environment healthier.

We need to protect our air and water. They are the life-giving substances of this earth. I cannot understand why the powers that be in Washington don't seem to care about the people of this country. They need to get their heads on straight.
