On April 30, the Texas Senate State Affairs committee will hold a hearing on SB 1806 (Estes) to prevent cities from adopting ordinances to limit or ban plastic bags. Cities across the state, including Austin, Dallas, Brownsville and Laredo, have responded to the serious problem of plastic pollution by either banning or placing a fee on single-use plastic bags. These ordinances are critical to reducing the litter that clogs our waterways and parks, hurting wildlife and costing taxpayers millions to clean up. SB 1806 should be rejected by the Legislature.

When I look outside my window and see plastic grocery bags flying around and hanging from trees, I wonder how much it really affects our environment--everything from our animals to our Great Lakes. There are a lot of places that offer Recycle Reuse bags at very low prices and sometimes you can get them for free. Getting rid of plastic bags could make a huge difference in preserving our Mitten State!

Oklahoma is not a state known for its seismic activity. However, Oklahoma has had a rapid and significant increase in earthquakes in the past six years, and in 2014 it topped the list as the state with the most earthquakes! The increase in earthquakes in Oklahoma is linked to the increase in oil and gas wastewater injection wells. These injection wells, where the oil and gas industry disposes of polluted water from fracking, disrupt the fault zones, which causes earthquakes. The earthquakes in Oklahoma are too serious to ignore. Governor Mary Fallin has the power to enact a moratorium on oil and gas wastewater injection wells and stop the earthquakes in Oklahoma.

The purpose of this petition is to adequately represent the concerns of neighbors in and around Lake Point, especially the neighbors who live on Adobe Ln. To that point, as a community, we are asking for a delay in the approval of the revised plat map for Lake Point Estates Phases 3-6 until further study can be done on the potential impact the revisions may pose to the community.

As an outdoorsman, a dad, and an active member of the environmental community, I am tired of watching Governor Walker put the interests of a few ahead of the interests of the many. Wisconsin is a biological gem....I would like for my kids and their kids to think the same.

I love the outdoors and our many and varied natural resources. The more we understand about how natural systems work, the better we can manage them and maintain our quality of life in Wisconsin.

I am starting this petition because keeping Wisconsin's land, waters, and wildlife in pristine condition is so very important.

Fracking in Oklahoma is causing man-made earthquakes and countless other problems.

To inform our elected officials that we do not support PennEast and do not want it to take our land!

Home owners are experiencing major and minor damage to homes, property and business. Corporate profits should not come at the expense of state citizens.

According to Oklahoma government records, the current rate of earthquakes is 600 times the historical average. The Oklahoma Geological Survey has concluded the phenomenon has been caused by waste water wells associated with drilling for oil and gas. Current legislation protects the industry and endangers the people of Oklahoma, our water, and our land.

This petition is to stop fracking--and end the resulting earthquakes- in Oklahoma. I have experienced one such earthquake and it was no fun. It caused cracks throughout the walls in my home. The earthquakes can be stopped simply by halting fracking, and the legislature should lead the way.
