Since their release back to the wild in 1998, the Mexican gray wolf, also known as the Lobo, has struggled to recover. After almost 20 years, there are still only just over 100 individuals in the wild. Many obstacles face the Lobo on their road to recovery, including poaching, politics, and constantly declining genetic diversity. The US Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) very own Science and Planning Subgroup said to fully restore the Lobo, there must be at minimum 750 wolves in three distinct populations, including in the Grand Canyon region in northern Arizona and southern Utah and the Southern Rockies region in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Despite these recommendations, FWS just released their new Draft Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan that authorizes downlisting these severally endangered wolves only after their population reaches 320 for four years and completely delisting the Lobo after 8 years. This is just half the population recommended by the agency’s own scientists. This draft recovery plan is a sham that was created behind closed doors and is not based on science. We need more wolves, less politics!

Donald Trump is about to propose more massive cuts to the EPA. The cuts would gut water protections, support for state environmental programs, and the Superfund clean up program. Congress still has to sign off on these cuts -- so we need your help to stop them! Tell your Senators: Don't gut the EPA!

The GMO apple could hit supermarkets this fall. It could pose health risks, hurt farmers and damage our environment. The USDA should be stopping risky new products like this. But the agency is using 20-year old rules to review them. We need your help to change that! Tell the USDA: Fix the rules to protect our health, farmers and the environment from risky GMOs!

This petition is my way of fighting for my 2-year-old son's quality of life (he has reactive airway disease thanks to living in Portland) — and for the lives of every Oregonian suffering from health issues caused by preventable air pollution. The fact is, our air may look clean, but it isn't. And after our state lawmakers failed to act to reduce air pollution during the 2017 legislative session, the only chance we've got is to hold our Governor accountable for the Cleaner Air Oregon process. Industry has killed every other attempt we've made to add teeth to our state's air regulations. But I'm not giving up and I hope you won't, either!

Fossils fuels cause health problems, are expensive and damage the air we breathe.

Mitch McConnell wants to push a disastrous dirty energy bill through Congress – and the vote could happen in a matter of days. This bill would keep us addicted to fossil fuels and be a disaster for people and the planet. Locking in dependence on fossil fuels for decades to come would critically undermine efforts to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Passing a bill to accelerate approval of fracked-gas exports and give FERC more authority to rubber-stamp pipeline approvals puts us on a collision course for disaster. We need to STOP this bill and push for a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy instead. Demand that Senator Schumer uses his power as the Senate Minority Leader to stop this terrible bill.

The Kudzu Coalition of West Alabama requests that the City of Tuscaloosa: 1. Physically post warning signs at all downstream affected public use and access areas including parks, boat launches, fishing piers, bridges, and trails 2. Post warnings within 12 hours of sewage spills on the City of Tuscaloosa’s website and social media sites stating the location of spill on map and the approximate time of spill. In addition, we would like to know if the spill is ongoing or has it stopped, size of spill, were there industrial chemicals from local industries, and which receiving streams were affected. After the spill, did water testing occur? If so, please post the results. 3. Publicly advertise and maintain an opt-in process that allows interested persons to obtain public notification of SSOs via email, text message, and/or automated phone call. Discharge points are located along numerous streams throughout Tuscaloosa County. Notices should be posted where sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) have been identified and on every waterway leading away from spill sites (For details on a recent spill, see Sewage spill in Tuscaloosa".) Given the number of accidental sewage spills over the past year, proper warning of potential discharge is necessary to protect children, small animals, and residents. Regular discharges, as well as spills, need to be clearly indicated at all times. We are grateful to City of Tuscaloosa staff as well as local legislators, councilors, and other stakeholders for addressing this much-needed issue. Water is beautiful. Playing in sewage effluent is not.
