Science and our health is being attacked by Trump's administration; it is a fact backed up by decades of scientific evidence that we must clean up the environment. If we do not make the choice to switch to clean energy now, our health and safety will decline rapidly and affect the rest of the world; we cannot afford to be selfish.

This petition is to prevent a proposed fracking operation in the Flint Hills of Kansas and specifically near The National Tall Grass Preserve. Not only is this region a rare and unique ecosystem it also sits near the Humbolt fault zone a historically active fault zone that could be disturbed by high-pressure wastewater injection causing damaging earthquakes.

The Wells Reserve at Laudholm protects 2,250 acres of coastal lands in Maine; is a center for education, conservation, and research; and welcomes 30,000 visitors each year. Wells Reserve programs inspire thousands of people annually, help keep coastal waters clean, and ensure citizens have access to science-based knowledge to make important decisions. Two-thirds of Wells Reserve funding comes through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Trump Administration has proposed eliminating funding for the Wells Reserve and the other 28 reserves in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System. A loss of federal funds will devastate the Wells Reserve's education, conservation, and research programs and put the popular Laudholm campus at risk.

To preserve the great state of California.

The Columbia River is a breathtaking sight. It's a huge part of what makes Astoria such a wonderful place to live. Over 7 years have passed since the "completion" of the Riverfront Vision Plan yet many zones have not seen implementation of said plan- leaving them vulnerable to development that spites the very plan the city of Astoria and its residents worked so hard to agree upon. Over the past few years, more and more hotels (and their expansions) are popping up along the river- blocking the view from the hill, much of downtown, and the river walk. Currently, developers are buying up properties with plans to build more. We are at the risk of losing what little open space we have left. Astorians, let's make it clear to City of Astoria officials that locals want to see the RVP completed sooner, not later.

On his first day as secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke reversed a policy that would have phased out toxic, lead-based ammunition and fishing tackle from national wildlife refuges by 2022. Lead, a powerful neurotoxin, is a huge threat for waterfowl and birds of prey, like ducks, bald eagles, and California condors. That Zinke undid this protection on his FIRST DAY is extremely disconcerting -- please demand that Ryan Zinke reestablish the transition away from lead in wildlife refuges.

This park should be off limits to anything that can defile it, not to mention the ecosystem.

The 110,000-acre Rookery Bay Reserve is one of the few remaining pristine estuaries in the nation, providing for recreational boating and sportfishing, an essential refuge for wildlife, supporting thousands of local jobs and generating millions of dollars through tourism, recreational boating and sportfishing.

As local planning processes happen across the City, we need a City-wide strategy to prevent displacement. City agencies that hold land should explicitly put these priorities in their Requests for Proposals.

In 2010, states in the Chesapeake Bay watershed came together under a landmark agreement with the EPA to reduce the amount of nutrient pollution and runoff entering the Bay. We are now seeing positive signs that the Bay is bouncing back, but the Trump White House's Draconian budget cuts are putting this work - and the Bay's recovery - in jeopardy. The Chesapeake Bay is an unparalleled natural resource and economic driver - it's time for citizens across the Bay states to take a stand and urge Trump to continue work to restore this precious ecosystem.

The Mesoamerican Reef is located in the Caribbean Sea and touches the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. As the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, it stretches nearly 1000 km from the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula down through the Honduran Bay Islands, and provides a home to hundreds of fish species, marine turtles, and sharks. On June 5 of 2017 we will celebrate 20 years of the Tulum Declaration, by which the heads of state of the four countries, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras, committed to promote the conservation of the Mesoamerican Reef System (MAR) through its sustainable use, thereby contributing to the wellbeing of present and future generations. Over the past 20 years, the four countries have taken important steps, as envisioned. Now, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras need to take their commitment to the reef a step further. Currently, four threats drastically hurt the health of the MAR: discharge of effluents and contaminants, including sewage; unsustainable coastal development, including mangrove destruction; chronic pressure on fisheries and insufficient enforcement, and climate change impacts on the reef. To address these threats, the Governments of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras must pledge to protect the reef through renewing the commitment to the Tulum Declaration and take the following actions to ensure the health of the reef and the people that depend on it: 1. Follow Mexico’s lead in putting the MAR ecosystem waters completely off limits to oil exploration and extraction. 2. Support municipalities in developing and maintaining the infrastructure needed to effectively treat sewage to levels agreed to in the Cartagena Convention, which should be ratified and implemented by all 4 countries. 3. Promote and facilitate the creation and improved enforcement of fish replenishment areas. 4. Protect blue carbon sinks: mangroves and sea grasses, and explore potential new financing mechanisms based on blue carbon. These actions will preserve the resources and natural processes that are the basis for propelling the Blue Economy as the foundation for development of the four countries and the region. Ask the heads of state of the four countries to renew the commitment to the Tulum Declaration and carry out these critical actions.

Every year for the last few decades, Los Angeles has made the list of the top 10 most polluted cities in the United States. But there is a solution! Electric buses are here and ready — they run on clean, renewable energy with ZERO emissions and very little maintenance, and the new 100% electric buses are made right here in Southern California. Unfortunately, we know the Los Angeles Metro Board is considering the purchase of 1,000 new dirty gas buses despite the readily available electric buses. It's no surprise that the greedy natural gas industry is behind this and wants to block attempts to clean up our air in order to make a profit. Electric buses can curb emissions, clean up our air and create good green jobs. We must transition to 100% electric buses for Los Angeles!
