I work as a hospital chaplain and there's few things more upsetting than seeing folks with asthma or chronic shortness of breath due to the fact that they live in neighborhoods with high rates of pollution. Most of the high polluting industries are located in areas where they think they can get away with it - rural, or working class, or people of color neighborhoods. No matter where we live, let's all take a stand together to say this isn't fair!

I've lived my entire life with asthma and it frankly sucks. The idea that it is legal for anyone to make this condition worse for me makes me furious.

I believe that big industry should be sued for all the illnesses they have caused with pollution. For a young child or any person to suffer nd sometimes die from ashma, or lung infections, cancer and all the other diseases pollution causes is unacceptable. The fact that these same industries intentially thwart any progress toward solar or wind (non-polluting) industry and buy out politicians one way or another - with money or intimidation, is unacceptable. The created dependency on the oil, coal and nuclear industries is created by these same industries' hostility and refusal to allow other forms of enegy be developed, except for some lame PR ads they run from time to time. Cancer rates are up. This affects us all. The cost of health care, suffering, and loss of income and life that are directly and indirectly linked to pollution are enormous. The national disasters pollution causes is another huge cost. I for one am tired of it, and have been tired of it. NOW is the time for truely green, non-polluting and non-destructive energy. And yes, of couse we need laws to protect us from cancer causing chemicals in the air and water!

I <3 breathing!! Not sure who doesn't!

every human being should have there voice heard when it come's to the air we breathe.
