80 percent of all antibiotics sold in the U.S. are used in animal agriculture. As a result, those same antibiotics may not work when we get sick. We cannot solve the growing problem of antibiotic resistance unless big meat purchasers like Subway stop serving meat raised with routine antibiotics. By insisting on meat raised without routine antibiotics, we will remove a key tool that perpetuates terrible factory farming conditions and prevents a transition to more sustainable, humane meat production.

If you have ever enjoyed the shade those trees provide and don't want to see them cut please call the city and ask to talk to Alex Brown or James Marshal and ask them to stop this insanity.

For nearly twenty years, Roundup Ready crops have been planted on farmland across the country and sprayed with increasing levels of Roundup. Roundup's active ingredient is the herbicide glyphosate, which kills milkweed, the one plant that monarchs rely on as habitat to lay their eggs. As milkweed has disappeared, monarch populations have declined steeply. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently considering how best to protect monarch butterflies and will be accepting public comments until Monday, August 24. Tell the EPA to protect monarch butterflies by banning the use of Roundup!

Mexican gray wolves are one of the most endangered wolves in the world, with only 110 in the wild. In the past few months, the NM Game Commission has repeatedly sought to obstruct Mexican gray wolf recovery, first by denying, without justification, the 17 year old permit for Ted Turner’s Ladder Ranch to continue assisting with the Mexican wolf reintroduction and then by denying the U.S. Fish and Wildlife a permit to release Mexican gray wolves into New Mexico, which is necessary to boost the wild population’s declining genetic health. The NM Game Commission, appointed by Governor Martinez, is clearly out of touch with the majority of New Mexico's voters, who overwhelmingly support the Mexican gray wolf reintroduction.

Industrial Hemp is a variety of cannabis sativa. Both the U.N. and North American Free Trade Agreement recognize industrial hemp as distinct from marijuanna due to hemps next to nothing THC content. For thousands of years hemp was used to make dozens of commercial products like paper, rope, canvas, and textiles. Many years ago hemp and marijuana were unjustly banned together; however, they have recently been rediscovered as a species that bestows upon humans, plants, and animals, myriad benefits in the form of great environmental, economic, and commercial potential!! Although low THC hemp and THC encouraged marijuana are the same species they are two very different cultivars grown using very distinct and differentiated methods. The potential of hemp for paper production is enormous. In 1916 the US Department of Agriculture published a report which found that one acre of hemp can produce 4 times more pulp for paper than one acre of trees![1] In a year like 2014 it is truly unknown what the potential could be as modern technology, practices, and the production of new varieties of industrial hemp could all positively affect this figure as well! All types of paper products can be produced from hemp: newsprint, computer paper, stationary, cardboard, envelopes, toilet paper, even tampons. FACT: IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY TREE OR PLANT SPECIES ON EARTH WILL EVER BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AS MUCH PULP FOR PAPER PER ACRE AS HEMP! HEMP IS & WILL REMAIN NUMBER ONE! Paper production from hemp would eliminate the need to chop down BILLIONS of trees! MILLIONS of acres of forests and huge areas of wildlife habitat could be preserved!! Associates of the tree farming industry claim that more trees are planted each year than are cut down. However, I do not know how long that could last. I'm guessing they do not have infinite resources to buy up larger tracts of land for tree farming. It seems like eventually supply and demand would even out and the industry would plant only the amount of trees that it needs for a sustained supply of fiber. Further tree planting efforts would be attributable to individuals, environmental groups & governments. What the big wigs from the tree farm industry didn't tell me was that when trees are harvested and the land is re-seeded the topsoil becomes more directly exposed to the elements. Exposed topsoil erodes faster due to the physical disturbance of digging up the stumps and more direct contact with rainwater as well as the general lack of root systems holding it in place for years. It is also more directly in contact with the suns energy due to the lack of insulating forest canopy. This causes the moist forest floor to abruptly dry out and the forest in general to experience more extreme temperature swings. With tree farms this soil exposure can last for years in the time it takes for even a small tree to grow. Trees must grow for somewhere between several years & thousands of years after planting before they can be harvested for commercial use! Within 3-4 months after it is planted, hemp grows 10 to 20 feet tall and it is ready for harvesting![2] Hemps long, strong, quickly growing roots help percolate and hold the soil in place. They also contribute to nutrient recycling through the whole plant.[4] Additionally, any stalk or leaves help keep the soil from drying out while its bio-mass insulates the area. Reduction of topsoil erosion would also reduce pollution of lakes/rivers/streams. Fewer caustic and toxic chemicals are used to make paper from hemp than are used to make paper from trees. If this method were more widely implemented we would have LESS POLLUTION FROM PAPER MILLS!! AND THAT STINKS. HAVE YOU EVER SMELLED IT!?! Hemp can be grown on most farmland throughout the U.S., but forests require large tracts of land available in few locations. MORE LAND COULD POTENTIALLY BE INCORPORATED INTO THE NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM OE SIMPLY LEFT ALONE OR SETTLED UPON!! It has been estimated that hemp could provide 100% of US energy needs if widely cultivated and put to good use. So many products can be made from hemp. Growing hemp would completely change what we call America today. Many products would become eco-friendly and our environment and economy would improve drastically in just a few short years. Of course there are some very rich people who have been doing things the wrong way for a very long time who would not like the US to have a cheaper, more renewable, resource. A resource that would be available to almost anyone with land, a little bit of money, or the ability to sharecrop. Some people are very resistant to change. But Obama claims to be so much different than that. Thats why the world needs your help to tell Obama to use his power of executive order to fully and immediately decriminalize industrial hemp.

The EPA is responsible for spilling millions of gallons of toxins into the Animas River in Colorado, affecting members of the Navajo Nation who live along the river and depend on it for survival. There are 27,000 acres of farmland now without water. Farmers and ranchers on the nation’s largest reservation are working on emergency plans to keep their crops and livestock alive. The EPA is currently distributing waivers to members of the Navajo Nation, many of whom do not speak English. A signature would effectively waive an individual’s rights to sue the agency for any future damages caused by contaminated water released from the abandoned mine. Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye told the EPA to stop handing out the waivers. From journalist Tristan Ahtone's report: “My interpretation as president of the Navajo Nation is the EPA is trying to minimize the amount of compensation that the people deserve,” said Begaye. “They want to close these cases and they don’t want more compensation to come later.” The EPA did not return requests for comment. “I haven’t heard that this is going on in any other communities outside Navajo Nation,” Ahtone said, adding he thinks this makes it “suspect.”

There’s a saying in the business world that when your public relations firm becomes your public relations problem, you’re in trouble. That’s why Edelman, the largest PR company in the world, is scrambling after making headlines when four senior executives resigned over its climate change positions. By seizing this moment to pressure Edelman and other PR firms to take a stand against Big Oil, we can send a message to politicians and business leaders that working with fossil fuel companies is no longer acceptable.

Our State Assembly will be voting on the Climate Package of bills in just a few weeks. Matt Dababneh hasn't announced his position on this crucial legislation. He needs to know that we will be talking about this for a long time in terms of public health, pension assets, California's clean energy economy, and the moral imperative to protect our children.

Many countries and even some American cities are banning the use of glyphosate-based chemicals used in landscaping, due to its link to an assortment of health concerns. Boulder City, NV, has the reputation of being "clean and green". As a longtime resident, parent, and teacher, I would urge the city to pursue alternative forms of pest and weed control.

We need clean energy and we need a safer Dixie Highway. The Dixie Highway Corridor Solar Project will give us both of these.

The Senate has passed an anti-consumer bill designed to keep consumers in the dark about the GMOs in their food, and the House has indicated it will support the bill, even though Senate Ag Chair Mike Conaway admits the bill is "riddled with ambiguity." This bill would also preempt more than 100 other state food safety and labeling laws! It would delay labeling for at least another 2 years. It would exempt most of the common GMO ingredients. It allows companies to hide information about GMOs behind confusing electronic codes that discriminate against anyone without a smartphone or internet access. And contrary to claims by its supporters, this bill is not mandatory--it contains no mechanism for enforcement and comes with no penalties for non-compliance. If Congress passes this bill, opposed by nine out of 10 Americans, our last resort will be a veto by President Obama. In a campaign speech Obama gave in 2007, in Iowa, he said, “Here’s what I’ll do as President . . . . We’ll let folks know whether their food has been genetically modified, because Americans should know what they’re buying.” On May 20, 2009, Obama issued an Executive Order to heads of executive departments and agencies stating that “preemption of State law by executive departments and agencies should be undertaken only with full consideration of the legitimate prerogatives of the States and with a sufficient legal basis for preemption.” A court has already ruled that Vermont's law is constitutional. Vermont’s law is working. Corporations are already printing the words “produced with genetic engineering” on labels. If Congress is concerned about creating a uniform mandatory labeling standard, Congress should support a federal bill that is as strong or stronger than Vermont's law--not one that is unenforceable, full of loopholes, and allows companies to hide information behind confusing symbols. GMOs are required to be labeled in 64 other countries. But despite the fact that nine out of 10 Americans say they want this information, thanks to nearly $400 million in lobbying by the biotech and food industries, Congress wants to keep this information hidden from Americans. Please ask President Obama to veto this anti-consumer, discriminatory, deeply flawed DARK Act.
