Rather than cut the last of our large canopy trees in Los Osos, we citizens urge they be saved for the microclimate they provide and be included in the Ann Calhoun Memorial Monarch Butterfly Preserve at Sweet Springs, Monarch Grove and on the Powell Property in Los Osos next to Los Osos Middle School!

Sun Valley Floral Group wants to cut forest adjacent to the Wild and Scenic Trinity River in an effort to expand Chemical intensive flower production. Families with children, fish and wildlife will all be impacted by these actions. This timber harvest and expansion should be stopped!

To get California and the nation on emission-free, proven, clean power and off dirty, earth-killing fossil fuel. Global warming is worsening. We must lead the world away from fossil fuel energy.

There is a public hearing on Monday, Oct. 26th at 5:30, City Hall Room 416. If you can't attend, please sign the petition and let the Director of Public Works know you are opposed. We are outraged that these valued trees may be lost from our urban landscape! These two trees are part of a much longer buffer on the edge of USF and our neighborhood. They block out the ugly USF dormitories and baseball field from our neighborhood and they absorb cheers and the PA system sounds from the stadium. They are Significant Trees, not merely street trees! Thanks for your help!

We must sign by end of October 2015. Please share and get the word out in NYC!

My teacher told me to do this.

Congressman Ted W. Lieu (CA-33), along with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11), has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch regarding allegations that Exxon/ExxonMobil intentionally hid the truth about the role of fossil fuels in influencing climate change. In their letter, Congressman Lieu and Congressman DeSaulnier request an investigation by the Department of Justice into whether or not ExxonMobil has broken any laws: “In this case, Exxon scientists knew about fossil fuels causing global warming and Exxon took internal actions based on its knowledge of climate change. Yet Exxon funded and publicly engaged in a campaign to deceive the American people about the known risks of fossil fuels in causing climate change. If these allegations against Exxon are true, then Exxon’s actions were immoral. We request the DOJ to investigate whether ExxonMobil’s actions were also illegal. ”

Many of my remaining family members live in Eastern Kentucky and for decades have experienced the destruction of forests, animal habitats, streams and people's physical and mental health deteriorate as a result of deep and strip mining coal removal to the last ton. Now entire mountain tops are removed with little or no environmental damage assessment. Ancient peaks of exposed rock formations destroyed while potentially releasing ancient bacteria and molds further exacerbating human health.

We borrow the magnificent Grand Canyon area from future generations. We cannot allow this 2 billion year old treasure to be forever destroyed by radioactive uranium mining. This mining plan recently approved by a judge must be stopped. In addition to signing the petition, call the White House comment line at 1-202-456-1111 from 8 to 5 EST Mon-Fri.

My farm, my animals, my water and my family will be directly affected by the pipeline and compressor station if they are built in Franklin. Benzene and Formaldehyde are known byproducts of a compressor station and natural gas and they are also known carcinogens.

I'm sure you've heard of RoundUp, the weed-killer brought to you by Monsanto. People use it in their backyards, and it's spayed on public parks, school playgrounds, and sports fields. What you probably don’t know is that in March, the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization announced that glyphosate – the key ingredient in RoundUp – is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Armed with this research, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment recently proposed labeling glyphosate as a chemical “known to cause cancer.” Their public comment period ends Tuesday October 20th, and they need to hear from people like you! In the WHO report, scientists cited evidence from studies showing that glyphosate has been linked to tumors in mice and rats and has caused DNA damage to human cells. Another study found that exposure to this dangerous chemical can result in significant liver and kidney damage. In addition to being used on lawns and parks, glyphosate is the number one herbicide used in agriculture. Nearly all U.S. corn, soy, and cotton is treated with glyphosate. People have a right to know about the grave health risks of this weed-killer.

Volkswagen should not be rewarded with a huge advertising spot on one of a major networks most-watched programs. Americans were duped and deceived by VW on its "clean" diesel engines and they must pay a price for their deceit.
