Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson NJWe are urging Mr. John Fitzgerald to find a more environmental-friendly solution then the cutting down of 15,000 trees to put up solar panels. Corporations around the globe have installed solar panels over parking lots and on the roofs of buildings. There must be a better solution.105 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Diana Hahn

Speaker DeLeo: Get Solar Back on Track!Solar projects have been stalled across Massachusetts for more than a year – putting energy savings, local jobs and community health on the line. Solar is stalled for communities, low-income families, schools and businesses due to an unnecessary cap on Massachusetts’ most successful solar program – net metering. Recently, 100 Massachusetts Representatives called on House leaders to take action now and pass a strong solar bill. [1] We need you to join them and tell our elected leaders: don’t let the sun set on solar!

Why is the EPA ignoring millions of US citizens?There are about 2.4 million people who live in the United States but are effectively ignored by the Environmental Protection Agency. How is this possible? They live in prisons. It is appalling that our government is exempting millions of people from basic environmental and health safeguards. Prisoners aren't the only ones harmed by this indifference -- prison guards, visitors, and neighbors feel the harmful effects of toxic policies. Tell the EPA: environmental justice does not stop at the prison gates.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Rony, SierraRise

Extend the Moratorium for Adams CountyPlease send your message today and call the Adams County Commissioners at 720-523-6100 insisting that they renew the current moratorium on drilling permits immediately—at least through the November elections, when statewide ballot measures may provide additional rights and protections to communities. Adams County is being targeted for scores of new, polluting oil and gas wells near homes and schools. Oil and gas production facilities release dangerous toxins and ozone-precursors into the air; place communities at risk for spills, fires, and explosions; and impose other unacceptable burdens on residents. The Adams County Commissioners must act now to renew the current moratorium until the November elections. Please send your message to the Commissioners immediately. Thank you.718 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Swain

Say NO to a county park off Salem Church/Ballentine CoveThe Salem Church neighborhood is a quiet residential area comprised of large single family home sites and is zoned low-density residential. The "Project LM" park is planned for an existing homesite lot on a side street called Bonuck Rd. The street is very narrow, windy, and dead ends at neighboring driveways. Richland County Council, spearheaded by Councilman Malinowski, conducted a feasibility study using paid consultants and purchased and planned a waterfront park without any neighbor or community knowledge/input. The county plans to change the current residential zoning to allow for the park, which includes a boat launch, site parking, a fishing pier, kayak & paddle boat rentals, and playground/event area. This park is literally planned to be adjacent to and in the backyards of current residents. There is great concern that the effects of the park will be decreased property values, loitering, water and traffic congestion, and unsupervised activities resulting in safety and security concerns. Additionally, the millions of dollars spent to manage traffic at the intersections of Farming Creek and Salem Church Roads with Highway 6 will have to be reassessed for managing the additional increased volume of traffic. The goal of this petition is to stop the planned park, preserve the current residential zoning, sell the property for residential use only and assist the county in locating a better-suited piece of property for a more suitable community planned county recreation area.194 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Salem Community

Tell Governor Pat McCrory: Stop Allowing Duke Energy To Poison The People Of North CarolinaThe water crisis in Flint, Michigan has actually done one good thing; it's brought light to the fact that knowingly contaminated water is being pumped into homes across the U.S. For more than a year now, families in regions of North Carolina have fallen victim to the contamination caused by Duke Energy and other large corporations. These people have had to resort to living solely on bottled water for their drinking, cooking and cleaning, and have no alternative for their bathing water. Governor Pat McCrory, a former employee of Duke Energy for 30 years, has ignored these people and has refused to publicly address this issue for far too long! Not only has he allowed these heinous wrongdoings to persist, he has actually lowered the fine over leaking coal ash pits throughout North Carolina from $25 million for just one site, to $7 million for all 14 sites across the state. The health of our citizens needs to start coming before big business! Join me in telling Governor McCrory and the rest of the NC State Legislature, "WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED ANY LONGER!"

Say NO to the methanol plant that would put additional stress on an already imperiled Green/Duwam...**Pause in EIS process does not signal the end of the methanol refinery. Continue to comment!** The Green River Coalition and Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition collectively oppose the methanol plant proposed by Northwest Innovation Works. Our major concern relates to the projected 10.4 million gallons of water per day the plant would use from the Tacoma water supply, which is taken from the Green/Duwamish River. The river is already facing critical problems related to low flows. Also, many parts of the river and its tributaries fail to meet water quality standards for dissolved oxygen and temperature. Further withdrawals from the river at the projected magnitude threaten the habitat of existing uses of the river and imperil our efforts to continue restoring the river and bringing it back into compliance with water quality standards. For this reason, among other concerns related to the impact on the environment, our groups are opposed to the proposed methanol plant and demand this proposal be withdrawn.256 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Green River Coalition
