• Earvin Magic Johnson Park: Clean our lake
    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.

  • Stop Trashing Unsold Food
    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.

  • Tell EPA to Stop the Pro-Industry Spin
    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.

  • Build Wildlife Bridges All Across the USA
    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.

  • FEMA Flood Insurance Fraudsters
    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!

  • HELP PRESIDENT OBAMA, CHANGING CLIMATE is FOSSILE FUEL is CARBON
    Help President Obama by changing the way industry uses fossil fuel. We all have been warned many times! what is happening to you and earth, and what is causing our Climate to change? Fossil fuels (CARBON) Unprecedented’ climate change creating drought, forest fires, flooding, and death. “WE ARE HEADING FOR APOCALYPSE, SOMETHING TO COME AND HIDDEN" Stop the killing are planet, and its habitat. Turn the pages and go back to lush fields, farms, forest that would show the green of spring and the change of colors of fall. Lakes, rivers, and streams that shine and glimmer in the sun light. Green fields around our lakes and rivers. We must save our planet and mankind, fossil fuel and the depletion of our ozone that protects us from UV rays and the hole is getting bigger. (Fossil fuels) Unprecedented’ climate change creating drought, forest fires, flooding, and death. We must tell our representatives and the general public we need water, jobs and control our climate. Supply water to areas of drought. Take a look at my web site that will explain how we can build a water pipeline starting at the East coast and run it to the west coast with multiple distribution controlled pumping station. How to build, how to create millions of jobs. This is in our hands. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/the-water-pipeline-actor-1/ This is my way to help: web site: www.wpwpline.com [email protected]

  • No turning back on clean water
    President Obama just restored Clean Water Act protections to thousands of our waterways. And before the ink was dry, House Speaker John Boehner called the president’s action “a raw and tyrannical power grab.” Seriously? We’re talking about clean water. Not King George taxing our tea. Unfortunately, overheated rhetoric is far from our biggest worry: The polluters and their friends in Congress are working to kill the new Clean Water Rule before it even goes into effect. The House has already passed a dirty water bill to roll back the restored protections, and the Senate passed a similar bill out of committee on June 10. We can't let polluters win. Please add your name in support of clean water.
