Did you know that the Department of Transportation is regularly spraying more than 600 gals of Roundup and other harmful chemical herbicides along Highway 68, a 24-mile Rio Grande River corridor? I saw it happening and stopped the driver, and got some details on the spraying. Then I asked him if he knew that in this area we have all kinds of migratory birds (including the bald eagle), all sorts of fish and that people swim, raft, fish and live here. This water is used to grow our food. This River is our Life line. It's the Life line of the entire area and for all the creatures large and small. Water is precious. Water is Life. It needs to be protected, not poisoned. "Glyphosate may well be the most toxic chemical ever approved for commercial use, as it is now linked to kidney disease, antibiotic resistant bacteria, inflammatory bowel disease, depression, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, cancer, cachexia, infertility, and developmental malformations. It destroys the microbiome of humans and plants, which is the root cause of many modern diseases". Ban Round Up In Our Town

On June 1, 2017, the current president declared that America would no longer abide by the agreements of the Paris Climate Accords. This is an agreement that was made to mitigate the affects of greenhouses gases on global climate change. It has been signed by 195 countries. This is a move that purports to put America first but in reality puts the Earth last. It is now up to the governors of the 50 individual United States of America to do what Trump will not. This issue is particularly important to the state of Louisiana. Scientifically recognized maps show our state being mostly under water in the very foreseeable future. This may or may not be a preventable future but the least we can do is slow it down.

We need to become better caretakers of the planet. Reducing our carbon footprint can only help our lives, it will not hurt us. Generations of people in the future will be thankful for our courage and commitment. This is a non-partisan effort that should be embraced by everyone.

Climate change is a serious crisis that impacts every one in the world. If we do not begin taking the actions needed to save our planet, it will become uninhabitable for ourselves and future generations. Although President Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, several states have come together to create a coalition committed to the carbon reduction efforts required by the agreement. Please help me in urging Governor Bryant to enlist Mississippi in this coalition in order to save the planet from climate change! If we don't start taking efforts to combat it now, it may be too late. Climate change is real. We cannot deny it any longer.

Help fix climate change and work to achieve a stable climate and environment. Earth is in grave danger due to Climate Change. The U.S. Congress must pass this act in order to save not only our nation, but also our planet. This act will boost our economy, save our environment, improve our health, help eliminate any diseases related to climate change, and much more. From recycling to a new agency, this act will cover many aspects in ending pollution and climate change.

As a resident of a coastal state with a thriving tourism industry, I am extremely concerned about the impact that rising sea levels due to global warming will have on our economy. We can and should take every opportunity to reverse the trend of climate change through sustainable environmental practices.

The city of Kent has a unique opportunity to lead the country in clean energy development. Kent is the 4th largest manufacturing/distribution center in the country and stands to gain a lot from leveraging our strong capabilities to innovate in the field of renewable energy. Join the mayors of Seattle, Bellingham, Edmonds, Everett, Olympia, Redmond, Snoqualmie, and Tacoma in curbing greenhouse gas emissions while also growing our local economy.

For now, and especially for our future: Join! For your children, grandchildren, and on: Join!

I am starting this petition because Kentucky is embarrassed in the media too often. Let's be on the right side of history.

It is essential that we join together to keep our environment safe. Global warming is real, it is a threat to South Dakota's children and grandchildren.

I think changes have to be made, and since Donald Trump will not be leading us in the right direction we must stand up and do it ourselves. We as a whole will be harm if we do nothing to save this planet. It would be selfish to not want to make this planet a better place since our childrens and their childrens will be the ones paying for our ignorance.In order to make change we must individually make effort to change for the better. Climate change is very really and not believing in it will be a dangerous mistake that we cannot afford to make. Over 90 percent of scientist agreed that climate change is real,and we are currently seeing some effect of it with our very own eyes, yet we chose to ignore it. Frankly it should not even be a debatable issue, because the fact are there and they are not going to go away. We have to read up and keep ourselves inform, and not be easily sway by absurd claims. We need to educate ourselves on environmental issues and find ways we can live sustainably. It is in our best interest to help the environment since it would do nothing but benefit us. I mean what could possibly go wrong if we make the planet a better place for all of us?

Since my childhood, weather patterns have grown unstable and unpredictable. We cannot afford to go backwards--not just for our sake but for the sake of today's children. The fight against climate disruption should not be a partisan issue. Let's get on the right side of history!
