HR 226 is misnamed the "African elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act." It would allow ivory to be sold again in the United States, and would most likely cause more poaching, more deaths, and ultimately, the extinction of the African elephant. It would certainly not conserve nor protect African elephants. It is a giveaway to trophy hunters, gun collectors, and the NRA. Many activists have worked for years to ban ivory and "sport-hunted trophy" of elephants, and this horrific and cruel resolution would undo all that work and make elephants even more of a target for poachers and trophy hunters.

Mountain communities around the world are seeing their environments and economies damaged because of climate change. In the Lake Tahoe area, we’re already seeing increased warming air and lake temperatures, heavy rain in winter causing increased flooding, more invasive species, increased tree mortality, and increased risk of catastrophic forest fires. Given the stakes for our lake and our community, it’s imperative for Tahoe to become a national leader in confronting climate change. That means cutting ties with the polluting fossil fuels driving the problem, and repowering South Lake Tahoe with 100% clean, renewable energy. More renewable energy means more good clean energy jobs, cleaner air and water, and healthier communities. So far, 25 cities across the U.S. have made the 100% clean energy commitment, including a growing number of mountain communities like Park City, UT, Moab, UT and Aspen, CO. Now it’s Tahoe’s turn to step up and take bold action toward the clean energy future that we need. Please sign the petition to urge the City of South Lake Tahoe to commit to securing 100% of our electricity from clean, renewable sources like solar and wind by 2030.

Global warming is a proven scientific fact. Trump denies it to help his cronies in big coal and big oil get even richer. If we allow more coal mines to be opened and built and sustained, we are polluting our own country and our children's futures. We are rolling back our commitment to our global partners. America, we must keep our integrity and our promises --we must continue our leadership on climate change. We must block Trump's executive order to revive Big Coal. Sign this petition to block Trump's executive order to reverse the Clean Power Plan.

As a scientist, I know climate change is real and dangerous. As a grandmother, I want to leave a habitable planet for my grandchild. Most scientific models predict that this planet will be nearly uninhabitable by the end of this century if we do not take very strong immediate action to limit the gases that cause the warming effect that is now occurring and accelerating.

According to the American Lung Association, Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Hanford and surrounding communities have been ranked as the dirtiest places to live for over 10 years with the worse air quality in the country. Leaf Blowers continue to be used with no ban in effect; all the while raising dust levels and particulate matter in an already polluted community. By signing this petition you will help save lives by reducing potential threats such as Lung Cancer, Asthma, and Heart Disease. ITS TIME TO TAKE ACTION.

With the EPA already grossly underfunded, Trump's proposed cuts to reduce their budget by 31%, leaving the agency only 5.7 billion dollars.

I have had enough of an Administration that denies the facts and the danger of climate change. The evidence is clear and the Guardian indicates that this Trump government even has the gall of deleting the data points and facts in their own statistics. Scary enough for you? This is perhaps like saying Nazis didn't kill the Jews. The data points are being deleted! This is massive corruption and misleading of the American people and the world! We want to continue to keep the policies in place to stop the escalation of climate change and continue to install more measures. Already in South Carolina we have "dead" rivers uninhabitable by all living things, unable to be used by human and animal consumption. Our drinking water is in danger. Our tender ecosystem is in danger. Do any of you want to leave a clean planet for our children? Or does money at the expense of our lives seem more important? Do the right thing!

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.

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.
