We’re destroying our oceans, forests and climate - but we can’t afford to. We dump 8 Million metric tons of plastic into our oceans each year, at a cost of about $13 billion in damages to marine ecosystems each year. Overfishing and pollution are pushing endangered whales, dolphins and other species to the brink, and costing over 1 billion people the food they need to survive. Slashing and burning the world’s forests sends more climate pollution into the atmosphere every year than all the world’s cars, trucks, ships and planes combined, and has driven dozens of species - including tigers, elephants, orangutans and jaguars - to the brink of extinction. And underlying all of it is the damage we’re doing to our climate: 2015 was the hottest year on record, and during that one year there were 10 extreme weather and climate events in the US that resulted in more than $10 billion in damages and killed 155 people. 195 world governments have pledged to take action and protect our fragile planet - but they don’t yet have the plans, tools and technology to keep their promise. That’s why we’re calling on the 50 biggest companies on earth to make specific, systemic commitments to: OCEANS: Stop pollution, and protect critical fisheries. FORESTS: Stop deforestation, start systemic reforestation, and shift to climate-positive agriculture. CLIMATE: Support/implement a price on carbon and build market demand for renewables and efficiency. We’re calling on all 50 companies to take the Earth Day 50 Challenge, by Earth Day’s 50th Birthday - April 2020.

Seaworld and other coastal abusers must not be allowed to subvert the spirit of Prop 20, aka 'Vote the Coast,' which later became the California Coastal Act. Bring back the Coastal Act!

This will be the third year in a row that Wildlife Services has shot wolves from the air at the request of the Idaho Fish and Game Department. The stated goal of the wolf killing is to increase elk populations, although Idaho admits that elk populations in the Lolo Zone declined due to habitat changes well before wolves were reintroduced in Idaho. In February 2014 Wildlife Services killed 23 wolves in the Lolo Zone from a helicopter, and in February 2015 the agency killed 19 wolves. During the last five years, six other agency wolf-control actions in the Lolo Zone removed an additional 48 wolves.

The FDA does NOT require mandatory safety testing of genetically engineered foods, but instead allows GMO makers to decide on their own whether their foods are safe for American men, women, and children to eat. We need the ability to track the emergence of unusual foods allergies and other health problems that may be brought on by genetically engineered foods. We want Hillary to speak out in her campaign speeches that she supports mandatory plain English labels on GMO foods .

Public Trust Doctrine - Healthy Oceans

I don't want Congress to buy time for fossil fuel money!

On behalf of Warren Buffet's NV Energy, Nevada Public Utility Commission voted unanimously in favor of a new solar tariff structure that will destroy the Nevada solar market, one of the fastest-growing markets in the country. The changes will apply retroactively to all net-metered solar customers.

H1640/S1551 will give cities and towns the option of asking voters for funding needed to improve public transportation. These funds could be used to pay for operating late night bus service so that employment is more accessible to people, such as myself.

Fracking is an extreme oil and gas drilling practice that threatens our air and drinking water. And right now, there’s a terrible pro-fracking bill making its way through the Florida Legislature. It already passed the House, so it’s critical that we stop this bill in the Senate. If this bill passes, it will start the process of establishing regulations to allow fracking to go forward in Florida. It would take away the rights of Florida communities to enact local protections against fracking. And it would prevent fracking chemicals from being publicly disclosed. To protect Florida from the devastation of fracking, we must stop this bill.

 Sign the petition to tell your Florida state senator to vote 'NO' on Senate Bill 318 and keep fracking out of the Sunshine State.

Money in politics has been drowning out the voices of regular people for too long. This election cycle, let's build momentum to #getmoneyout, by asking candidates to reject contributions from the fossil fuel industry!

I live in the Hudson Valley area of New York, which is currently being threatened by the AIM pipeline. Due to the construction of this pipeline, trees have been cut down, and dangerous levels of methane are being released into the environment. This is my home, and I will do everything in my power to end this environmental damage. Areas such as Beijing China suffer every day from toxic air quality conditions; but it's not too late for the Hudson Valley, and the NY region. I will not stand by passively, and watch a company damage the quality of life in the place I stand by to protect. This can be easily prevented, by stopping the construction of Spectra Energy's AIM pipeline.

We should all be enraged by the injustice of being hammered by the fracking industry and the Legislature. This Legislature has simply turned its back on the citizens of Kansas. We are experiencing living in a state where the rights, property values, and fears of citizens in the fracking zones are ignored. Why? Because you and I are not as important to the Legislature as the fracking industry. I am one of the victims of these earthquakes. My house has $14,000 worth of damage so far! My basement floor is cracked, my foundation has slipped, my walls are cracked and it is getting worse with every new quake. I got one side of my foundation repaired but I am not repairing anything else. As long as the quakes are still happening I won't keep throwing my hard earned money at repairs though there is still much more left to fix. The Kansas Corporation Commission has the power to fix this problem. Any comments you leave will go to straight to Commissioners Apple, Albrecht & Emler and to Governor Brownback.
