Tell PepsiCo to Take the Conflict Palm Oil ChallengeThe damage caused by Conflict Palm Oil is tremendous. Deforestation to make way for palm oil plantations threatens unique and priceless areas like the Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia. It threatens species like the Sumatran rhino, orangutans, and sun bears. The impact on communities who are forced off their land or pushed into forced and child labor is simply unacceptable. Despite the last year’s progress, there are still some critical companies that are refusing to take action to address their Conflict Palm Oil problem. One of the worst offenders in the Conflict Palm Oil world - who is also one of biggest makers of popular kid’s snacks - won’t even acknowledge the destruction it's causing. PepsiCo is a major Conflict Palm Oil laggard, dragging its feet, refusing to admit it even has a problem. With a whopping 457,200 metric tons of palm oil used annually in snacks like Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, Cheetos and Lay's potato chips, PepsiCo has a huge impact on the planet, the forests, and the people and animals which call them home. Send your message here: Tell PepsiCo you won't have deforestation, extinction, or slavery in your home.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rainforest Action Network

Stop the Loophole for Arch CoalThis loophole will allow Arch Coal, one of the largest US coal companies, to bulldoze thousands of acres of roadless forest in Colorado in order to mine up to 350 million tons of coal. These roadless areas are crucial wildlife habitat and among some of the most beautiful and preserved wilderness areas in the state. Opening this area to mining would unlock more than half a billion tons of carbon pollution. All this so one coal company can reap in the rewards. It is an unfair trade-off and needs to be stopped.565 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Rasmussen

Stop the giant pipeline next to a nuclear plant!I am scared to death of the Spectra corporate Algonquin Pipeline extension which will come within 105 feet of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, creating a potential Fukushima on the Hudson. This is a fact attested to by independent experts including Paul Blanch, a 50-year nuclear power and energy engineer and Richard Kuprewicz, a pipeline expert of 40 years' experience. There is no other pipeline that comes close to a nuclear plant.861 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Cantarow

Tell Christie: Put Every Exxon Dollar to RestorationChris Christie’s horrible settlement with ExxonMobil just keeps getting worse. No matter how much Exxon ends up paying to restore the wetlands it polluted, people in Bayonne and Linden could see zero dollars put back into restoring their communities. How could this have happened? Gov. Christie has bungled our state’s finances, so he rigged the budget last year to raid funds from corporate polluters to pay for basic expenses. Now, no matter how much money our state wins in damages from corporate polluters like Exxon, there’s a cap on the amount that goes to restore wetlands and rivers. People in Bayonne and Linden have suffered enough. Sign the petition calling on Gov. Christie to send every dollar from Exxon to restore New Jersey communities.930 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by New Jersey League of Conservation Voters

Stop fossil fuel and nuclear power energy infrastructure expansion projectsI am deeply concerned about the commitment and collaboration of both major political parties with the fossil fuel and nuclear energy industry. I am tired of the nonsense and how they push their agendas and the blatant disrespect of and disloyalty to public they are hired to protect.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael and Miriam Kurland

Renew New York Funding for On-Site Wind PowerUpstate and Western New York in particular have great wind resources, with many farmers, homeowners, and business owners wanting to invest in small-scale wind energy systems to reduce their electric bills and lower their operating costs. Continued state support for wind turbines producing power for on-site use is in the best interests of New York ratepayers in order to sustain a thriving local market for clean energy. The current New York on-site wind incentive, the leading program in the nation helping the distributed wind market turn the corner with rapid uptake, sunsets at the end of 2015. As part of New York's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) process, NYSERDA is reorienting its funding programs and looking to pool funds to foster replication. Many of the REV initiatives – such as community net metering, community choice aggregation, valuing distributed generation in new utility tariffs, and demonstration projects – could provide new exciting opportunities for the distributed wind industry in New York. However, an immediate transition into a new funding model with unique program mechanics may cripple an industry that has begun to grow exponentially over the past two years, and particularly over the past 6 months. Five years from now, with the REV changes in place, NYSERDA will be in a better position to craft a technology-neutral program for the non-solar DG programs, and the New York distributed wind industry will have gained meaningful economies of scale and cost reductions and be in a position to exist in a post-subsidy world. Please add your name to support recommendations of the Alliance for Clean Energy NY and Distributed Wind Energy Association that NYSERDA renew funding to extend tailored incentives and customized support for on-site wind projects for an additional 5 years. Note: If appropriate, please include your company name in the petition sign-on's comment field.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Distributed Wind Energy Association

Ban glyphosate use in Rhode IslandPublic use of glyphosate is minimally regulated and those regulations are often ignored or dismissed. I have personally observed glyphosate being sprayed on a school property while school was in session and children were outside on school grounds. Exposing our citizens, especially our children, to a probable human carcinogen for the purpose of convenient weed control is wrong. Let's ban the use of glyphosate on all Rhode Island public land.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cynthia Fuller
