Urge American Airlines and their partners to participate in the collection of recyclable items on their aircrafts. American Airlines leads major companies like; U.S. Airways, PSA and of course, American Airlines. According to a recent study “the EPA estimates that 75% of the American waste stream is recyclable” and with such a large company, they can make a major difference by simply doing recycling collections. Please urge them to act now and make recycling collection occur on all of their aircrafts.

We are working toward making the inner city a safer and healthier environment with more space for urban gardens, areas for children to get outdoors and be more physically active, space for elders to safely take a stroll, more exposure to nature, decreased traffic flow in neighborhoods and more. This can be done by converting some of the neighborhood streets into green space. This plan is exploring integrating geothermal energy in order to lower the cost of heating and cooling and lower greenhouse gases. Basically we are working from the ground up, toward healthier neighborhoods and a healthier planet.

A new study from Penn State painted a bleak picture for Pennsylvania on climate change: we can expect an average 5.4 degree increase in temperature, making our state more like Washington DC by the year 2050. This means increased smog and asthma attacks, more insect-borne diseases like West Nile virus, threats to drinking water from flooding, and the list goes on. The evidence of human-induced climate change and its disastrous impacts is undeniable. And 436 Pennsylvania experts just agreed: now is the time to act. Now is the time to slash carbon pollution from power plants. But instead of acting, Senator Toomey has continued down the path of climate change denial, questioning humans' impact on global warming and actively fighting efforts to slash power plant pollution. Tell Senator Toomey his choice is now: stand with you and 436 experts on climate, or with polluters and their special interests.

On September 29, the Houston County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on an Amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance that will prohibit the mining, transportation and processing of sand used for hydraulic fracking. If frac sand mining is allowed in our County, local roads will be severely damaged, the air and water will be polluted, property values will decline and the scenic beauty of our County will be destroyed. We need your help and support to prohibit frac sand mining in Houston County, Minnesota. If you are a resident of Houston County, please help protect your County by signing this petition today! Ask your friends to sign it also.

We have a critically rare chance to make a profoundly positive impact in protecting our dark night skies of the California Desert! The Sand to Snow, Mojave Trails, and Castle Mountain National Monuments will bring these crucial protections, and create buffers standing against light pollution encroaching on existing protected desert lands. These are the lands you visit to see meteor showers and stellar views of our Cosmos. To experience something we've lost in the ever expanding intrusion of urban sprawl!

Right now, the California State Legislature is considering a bill that would create cleaner air for our children, more economic opportunities for our neighborhoods, and a healthier climate for our planet. Oil companies and other industries that want to stop progress are fighting tooth and nail to defeat this bill. If we want our community to be heard over the oil companies, we have to take action now. You have a powerful voice in preparing for and helping to prevent further climate change. Sign this petition to tell your representatives to support SB 350, the Golden State Standards.

The solar industry has been providing good, high paying jobs throughout the country and it's the fastest growing job sector. Letting the federal tax credit expire would be detrimental to our economy, environment and national security.

Animals need someone to speak on their behalf. Animals are living creatures, have a soul, have feeling and emotions, and can be traumatized just like humans. Why do some people treat them like the Nazis did to the Jews, or put them in slaughter houses, skin them alive, mutilate them for fun? Won't you be a voice for these beautiful creatures?

1. For homeowners with suitable roofs this legislation would provide grants to help reduce the upfront costs of installing solar panels. For renters or families unable to install solar on their roofs the bill provides loans to solar developers to connect low-income families to solar either physically, or virtually through the construction of community solar facilities. In all cases this bill encourages job training to local communities. 2. Promotes diversity in the workforce by prioritizing loans for woman- and minority owned small businesses. 3. Sets aside a portion of funds for developing solar economies in Appalachia, Indian tribal lands, and Alaskan native communities.

Last year, Vermont passed a law requiring most genetically engineered foods to be labeled…and soon, industry attacked. Earthjustice has now gone to court to defend Vermont’s law and stand up to these attacks. But now an extremist segment of the food industry is pushing to prohibit GMO labeling anywhere in the country. You have a right to know what’s in the food you eat. Take action now to defend that right. The House has already passed a bill prohibiting any and all state and local GMO labeling requirements. We need more food transparency, not less! Tell your senator you oppose this legislation now! The bill goes far beyond labeling—it would preclude not only labeling, but also all state and local regulation of GMOs. We’re defending communities in Hawai‘i that have chosen to restrict the growing of GMO crops to protect conventional and organic farmers from contamination and the public from associated pesticide use. In fact, Earthjustice has litigated for years to protect people and the environment from dangers associated with genetically modified food crops. More than 99% of GMO crops are created to withstand toxic chemical applications or produce their own pesticides, leading to greater pesticide use. Increased use of pesticides and the emergence of pesticide-resistant weeds are just two of the problems GMO crops create, not to mention possible long-term health effects and risks to biodiversity. GMO crops also reduce consumers’ ability to avoid GMO-contaminated food and farmers’ ability to protect their non-GMO fields from contamination. More than 60 countries already require GMO labeling. Today, we’re asking you to stand up for food transparency in the United States!
