The wolf was nearly massacred into extinction, and the Mexican gray wolf is one of the most endangered of the species. The health of the Mexican wolf depends on healthy pack numbers, and the governor and certain representatives of Arizona are allowing special interests to stall and destroy the recovery program.

We are starting this petition because we care about the earth and maintaining enough fish to keep the ecosystem balanced.

The Wolf administration is working on a Clean Power Plan for Pennsylvania, but the plan is anything but clean. • The Clean Power Plan puts natural gas in the “clean” column • The Clean Power Plan guarantees reliance on natural gas • The Clean Power Plan doesn’t limit how much a state can rely on gas to meet its target • The Clean Power Plan institutionalizes and enables pollution • The Clean Power Plan means we can kiss a fracking moratorium or ban goodbye Pennsylvanians Against Fracking is asking for your support in telling Governor Wolf, DEP Secretary John Quigley, and Wolf’s energy advisor, David Sweet, that Pennsylvania urgently needs a real clean power plan.

In mid-April, 2016, Inky the Octopus masterfully escaped from his tank in the National Aquarium of New Zealand; however, another octopus, named Blotchy, stayed behind. As Inky's escape demonstrates, and as scientists have known for some time [http://www.nature.com/news/octopus-genome-holds-clues-to-uncanny-intelligence-1.18177], octopi are highly intelligent creatures. Our goal is to release Blotchy, and all octopi, one at a time.

The FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation) is made up of mostly hunters, ranchers, and land developers. Some of the same FWC members who voted for the Bear Hunt in 2015 reportedly bought a Bear Hunting Permit. Thousands of Citizens' Voices were raised in opposition, including avid hunters against the 2015 Hunt, that were ignored. On October 24 and 25th, 2015, in the Two-Day Hunt, 298+ of the Quota of 320 Bears were killed; 38 were lactating mother bears leaving young orphaned cubs behind, too young to be left alone in the woods. One Hunter reportedly bragged about kicking a cub off of its dead Mother. Cubs never drift far from their mother. These cubs stood and watched mom slain and carried off like garbage. Cubs bawling for Mom, filled our woods with horrific sadness; with grief and loss they couldn't understand. Cubs need Mom for food, guidance and protection as they learn from her, for a full 2 years. The bears were protected for 21 years, until 2012, as Endangered Species; after De-listing, it was quick to get them on the 2015 Hunt. The hunt was scheduled to go on for 7 days but closed after 2 days. There were 3,700 permits sold--we only had an estimated 3,000 bears in the entire state. There was corn still in the mouths of some of the bears, which would indicate baiting. They were planning another Bear Hunt in 2016. Because of you- it was stopped! About 100 of us went to the FWC Meeting at Eastpoint, Florida where they made their final decision. We spoke from 8am to 8pm, the fate of our bears was decided on June 22, 2016. We Won! No Florida Black Bear Hunt will take place in 2016! Our Bears are safe for this one year. We must continue to be ready for their decision in 2017. The NRA and Hunters Groups are furious that the FWC ruled in our favor. They will be stronger next year- and we must be as well! The usual- FWC Commissioners-Leisa Priddy and Nick Wiley voted for having another Bear Hunt. After Signing Petition. Please one more request. Write to FWC Commissioners personally. Let them know you are against a 2017 Florida Black Bear Recreational Hunt. That you will not Travel to a State that sponsors Trophy Hunts. Commissioners Ron Bergeron, Bo Rivard, Robert A. Spottswood and Chairman Brian Yablonski. Voted against 2016 Hunt Thank them for allowing our Bears to Live. AlieseP. “Liesa” Priddy, Nick Wiley, Charles W. Roberts 111 voted to have another Bear Hunt. Thank God- they were stopped and there will be No 2016 Bear Hunt! http://myfwc.com/about/commission/commissioners/ The US Forestry is carrying out controlled burns year round, with hundreds of thousands of acres of our Florida's National Forest burned. Bear cubs are born in late winter and early spring. The bears have infant cubs too little to escape these fires. The palmetto berries and oak trees, food for the bears, are being wiped out. The small game, which is food for bears and panthers, are all on Florida's hunt list. Stop the killing of all these forest creatures, they are not consumed as food for any humans. Florida has a hunt list with unlimited year round, no bag limits of raccoon, opossum, coyote, beaver, skunk, nutria, otter, and seasonally unlimited kill of even bobcats.

Since 2001, public officials have known that drinking water in many Ohio communities is contaminated with C-8, a harmful chemical linked to cancer, ulcerative colitis, and other serious illnesses. How can Gov. Kasich seek the highest office in the country if he can't even protect his own residents from toxic drinking water? Tell Gov. Kasich to filter our drinking water NOW.

Hydraulic Fracturing or (Fracking) is a method used to drill for Natural Gas. It has been proven that this method of extracting Natural Gas will contaminate underground water sources. Hydraulic Fracturing is proven to be harmful to our water sources. Fracking already occurs in Utah but it needs to stop.

We have a problem - we need a clean energy source to replace the dirty coal power plants that are closing in 2017. Thankfully there is a solution - there is enough offshore wind on our Atlantic coast to power all the homes in Massachusetts. Offshore Wind is a clean energy source that can - Reduce pollution - Increase energy security - Stabilize electric rates - Create thousands of new jobs across the state - Confront the urgent threat of climate change. While there are lots of offshore wind farms in Europe, there are none in the US yet. If we invest first then we will have an advantage in attracting offshore wind jobs. If we wait then New York State will jump on this opportunity and they will have the advantage. We need our state leaders to make sure that Massachusetts is first when it comes to offshore wind!

The PennEast Pipeline Company is trying to build a massive pipeline through Hunterdon and Mercer counties that will pollute the water supply and scar preserved land. Pipelines put local communities at risk – and to add insult to injury, PennEast may get the power to take private property against land owners’ wills for this project. The good news is that there's massive opposition to the project. Local townships in the pipeline's path, residents across the state, and members of Congress have weighed in, and they’ve managed to delay PennEast's application for seven more months. If we can mobilize state lawmakers to speak up, we can keep the pressure on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and get the attention of the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which needs to approve PennEast’s application too. Tell your state legislators to oppose the PennEast Pipeline and urge FERC and DEP to reject the application!

Gas drillers and their legislative allies are making a last ditch effort to stop new oil and gas drilling safeguards, which could open the door to undoing a ban on fracking waste pits.

Blue Crest Energy of Texas will begin fracking off the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska this June. As data begins to come in about hydro fracking from states and communities that have been adversely affected by fracking, the news that this beautiful and wild area of Alaska is next to be fracked is disturbing. This area is home to the Kenai Moose Refuge, salmon fishing, and Beluga Whales. Tourism in this area is based on the health of the ecosystem. Fishing is world class and the area is home to many whose recreation and economics are dependent on this area being uncontaminated and having clean air and clean water. In addition, this area is very seismic, prone to earthquakes on a regular basis without the risk of fracking creating more and uncontrolled earthquakes. This affects all who live here and those who love this area and come to visit and appreciate one of the last great wild places.

This petition hopes to bring awareness of colony collapse in bee populations, due to Neonicotinoids (pesticide) use. Florida can't afford to lose anymore pollinators, and it's time for us acknowledge these important insects!
