Home Depot announced last year that it would require a label on plants grown with a family of pesticides that are worsening the bee die-off. Yet despite scientific concerns, here is how their label describes the effects: "This plant is protected from problematic aphids, white flies, beetles, mealy bugs, and other unwanted pests by Neonicotinoids." No mention whatsoever of the harmful impact on honeybees, butterflies, or other pollinators! Somehow Home Depot has figured out a way to make more money off this poisonous pesticide. And they are doing so while other national retailers are taking steps to drop suspected bee-killing chemicals from their shelves. Sign the petition now urging Home Depot executives to be forthcoming in their labeling of bee-killing products.

Summary: Property owner/developer seeks amendment to Orange County Florida Comprehensive Plan to change Greenbelt and Wetland Conservation designations to Estate Home District permitting up to 140 homes on land currently approved for 12 single-family homes. As one of the last remaining undisturbed natural areas in western Orange County, Florida, this land is a key segment of a regional wildlife corridor and provides critical diverse habitat for native and migrating wildlife including species of conservation concern, threatened and endangered status including Florida Black Bear and American Bald Eagles. The best use of this land is as a permanent conservation preserve for the benefit of future generations and preservation of our unique natural Florida environment.

End oil subsidies. Open up the free market. Allow alternate energy a chance to compete. Make a green and ecological economy.

As a cancer survivor of a rare type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, I'm concerned about 187 million gallons of jet fuel sitting 100 feet above our drinking water supply. One tank failed in January 2014, and leaked 27,000 gallons of fuel into the groundwater. It cannot be cleaned up. These aged, colossal tanks, each the size of a football field in height, cannot be repaired and need to be shut down immediately.

The lake at Earvin Magic Johnson Park is disturbingly filthy and the stench it generates is even more horrible. Every time my family and I pass by we have to hold in our breath. The people who visit Magic Johnson Park should be able to go to park and enjoy a fresh breeze.

Charities are desperate for the food that is used as landfill. I was encouraged by the French parliament's vote to ban destruction of unsold food products; the ban requires edible foods be donated to charity, or used as animal feed or farming compost. Let's be wise and stop dumping edible food.

The EPA recently released its long-awaited study of fracking's impacts on drinking water. The oil and gas industry cheered the topline findings highlighted in the EPA's own press release that accompanied the study, which read: “Assessment shows hydraulic fracturing activities have not led to widespread, systemic impacts to drinking water resources and identifies important vulnerabilities to drinking water resources.” The industry -- and the media -- ran with this statement and concluded that fracking is safe. This takeaway offered by the EPA was grossly misleading. The EPA's press release made a subtle but enormously consequential change to the actual findings of the study. What the study actually shows is that, at every turn, the effort of EPA scientists to quantify the extent of fracking's impacts on drinking water resources was thwarted by "data limitations and uncertainties." Despite those limitations and uncertainties — including some of the EPA's own making — the study still confirms what existing scientific data and countless personal experiences have already made clear: fracking does indeed contaminate drinking water resources in numerous ways. (for full assessment: http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/blogs/how-the-release-of-the-epas-draft-assesment-on-drinking-water-impacts-was-spun/) Tell EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy that it is her responsibility to correct this misleading statement in the press release and to instead emphasize the very troubling findings of her agency's report.

I want to get all of America--starting with my home state of Georgia-- to build wildlife bridges for our wildlife. Nearly every day in the area in which I live I pass dead animals on the road and it is unnecessary and cruel. If we can set aside money for tax cuts and wars, pork spending for pet projects and so much else, we can help our wildlife so that biodiversity is preserved and future generations have the chance to enjoy God's incredible creatures.

On June 19 in Tallahassee, the Acquisition and Restoration Council will meet to consider this issue. Your help is needed to secure the purchase of Gilchrist Blue Springs by the state in order to insure its preservation and protection for the enjoyment of all citizens

I am a homeowner in a flood zone. A flood in 1997 came to our neighborhood, and cost the area $40 million. Only pathetic corrective measures have made, AND a big El Nino event this winter may bring a worse flood. I want my very expensive insurance to work!

Send a strong signal that we are serious about our money and our future.

This petition is about trying to stop the daily massive dumping of plastic bags into the oceans. I live down the block from the ocean and over the years have seen a dramatic increase in plastic bags both on the beach and in the ocean plastic never goes away
