We are ALL threatened by Donald Trump's refusal to accept the reality of climate change. His nominees, all of whom deny climate change, will implement policies which will cause irreparable harm to the United States and the rest of the planet.

We urge you to support Intro 495, a.k.a. The Waste Equity Bill, which seeks to unburden communities in The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens that handle an unfair 80% of NYC's garbage. Each borough needs to take care of their fair share and the South Bronx shouldn't be saddled with over 30% of the city's garbage. We are already suffering an epidemic crisis with the highest rates of asthma in the nation. This city's economics must not continue to be prioritized over the health of our communities. Not only do we deserve better from our elected officials trusted with our health and environment, but we demand better.

This week, we went toe-to-toe with Trump over his intimidation of government scientists -- and Trump backed down. Now, Nevada scientists are mobilizing to block Scott Pruitt’s confirmation in the Senate based on his clear anti-science record -- and they need our support to win a crucial vote from Senator Dean Heller.

I feel betrayed by Donald J. Trump's brazen theft of the presidency with the aid of Russian hackers with the sole purpose of increasing his holdings, which may result in a dangerously conservative replacement being appointed upon his inevitable impeachment. United States citizens deserve progress, not punishment.

After completion of the Superfund cleanup of the Rocky Flats industrial area, the Department of Energy transferred about 7 square miles of land to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) to operate as a Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge surrounds 2 square miles of land that are still on the Superfund list of the most contaminated places in the country. Highly toxic radioactive plutonium in the environment of this Superfund site will make its way onto the Refuge where it can be readily inhaled, the worst way to be exposed to plutonium. FWS is now curtailing activities at Refuges in western states due to lack of funds. By keeping the Rocky Flats Refuge closed to the public, FWS can prevent harm from exposure to plutonium and also save money .

The Trump transition team has sent a questionnaire to Dept. of Energy employees asking about their involvement in climate change issues. They need support to prevent climate science from being overrun by political considerations. This affects all of us! Climate change is acknowledged as a real issue by Fortune 500 companies, insurance companies, states and local governments (see Miami Beach), all of whom are making plans to deal with it. We should not get rid of our information assets on this topic.

StateImpact PA broke the news that Yesenia Bane, a special assistant to Governor Tom Wolf, is married to an oil and gas industry lobbyist. Her connection to the industry may be news, but we've known since the beginning of Wolf's campaign that he was surrounding himself with advisors and cabinet members with ties to the industry. Several, like Katie McGinty, John Hanger, and even Ed Rendell, his former boss and mentor, are surely dizzy from all the spins they've taken in the revolving door between PA state government and the oil and gas industry. They have made it easy for him to ignore the calls for help from the countless Pennsylvanians who have been profoundly harmed by fracking and related infrastructure, to ignore the scientists who have met with him, to ignore the 900 peer-reviewed studies that collectively make the case for a ban on fracking, and to consistently put the interests of the industry above those of the people he was elected to serve. He must fire Bane, scrub the oil and gas out of his entire administration, and ban fracking.

The DWP said that they could remove the thin concrete layer and add plantings to stabilize the banks without jeopardizing their timeline. I support naturalizing the banks of the Silverlake reservoir to create a more sustainable environment and support nature and wildlife in Silverlake.

Due to bypassing E.I.S. and easement grants and later PAYING fines where this should be demanding for environmental and habitat protection and a Federal law that no company or corporation may do any construction drilling nor start a project without a full map blueprint of where and how they would intend to construct and where they would be digging and drilling. THAT would show they aren't digging up sacred sights or sovereign lands and wouldn't cause harm to the environmental habitat surrounding each section of that pipeline .

We need this area to be preserved for our future generations. Current proposal is for a 20 ton bridge to be built. That type of weight capacity seems over the top for that area. We have very little information for future intentions with a bridge of that capacity. We must protect that area from development and overuse. At the meeting they said the bridge is 99% a done deal. That means WE have 1% to stop it! It can be done!

Governor Wolf has just announced a new program to finance even more fracked gas pipelines in Pennsylvania. Worse yet, he wants to fund the program by taking money from a fund dedicated to renewable energy projects. Fracked gas pipelines are already causing serious harm in our state. Earlier this year, a pipeline exploded in in Westmoreland County, causing severe injury and property damage. A gasoline pipeline operated by Sunoco Logistics ruptured in Lycoming County, bringing tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the Susquehanna River. This program would set back Pennsylvania and lock us further in to a dirty fossil fuel future. The only way to make our state's future brighter is to build our investment in renewable energy Sign the petition to Governor Wolf to urge him to stop this terrible pipeline program before it gets started.

President Obama has established more new national monuments than any president in history, but there is still work left to be done. Congress keeps trying to undermine laws that protect our lands and polluters like the Koch brothers are gunning to open new areas to destructive mining. The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) is joining environmental advocates around the country to urge President Obama to keep protecting our lands and establish Utah’s Bears Ears region, El Paso’s Castner Range, the Gold Butte region in Nevada, and the area surrounding the Grand Canyon as national monuments. We have already seen President Obama is willing to act, but only if we raise our voices loud enough.
