This petition was occasioned by the general concern over potential environmental consequences of an oil spill in the Arctic Ocean. It was triggered by President Obama's approval of Shell's application to drill there, but the overriding concern is about the long term consequences of the rush to drill by all 4 countries bordering the Arctic Ocean - which would significantly expand the overall effects of burning more and more fossil fuels rather than focusing on alternative energy sources. Hence, the petition is directed not only at President Obama, but also, and more importantly, at the UN. I have been personally affected as a professor at New York University Medical School, which was very heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy—a hurricane and flood whose intensity was arguably worsened by climate change. All my mice were lost, my major equipment was destroyed, and the animal quarters will never be rebuilt.

The toxic chemicals that are sprayed in the environment are very painful and destructive. The fumes of these chemicals are toxic to all living things. It attacks the Respiratory and Nervous System to create pain and disability, plus it can be fatalistic to those who are already vulnerable, such as in the case of asthma, respiratory diseases, heart and different organs of the body plus the elderly and children. It is vital to get these chemicals from the perpetrators to be tested and assessed, plus to make tools to be sensitive to these chemicals when sprayed in the environment. Recently, my friends, acquaintances and I became very sick from the fumes of the chemicals that caused a lot of pain through-out the body, swellings in joints, fever, cannot get out of bed, cannot eat, walk or sit up. The creators of these chemicals came up with a chemical that focuses on the Nervous System to disable completely. A person gets disabled over night, swellings in the joints of the body, pain all over, making it difficult to get out of bed. The symptoms are like Chikungunya (Chik V) when a mosquito bites, the sting gets into the Nervous System causing the same reaction but the blood test shows that it has a high blood count in Chik V, while breathing in chemicals has a normal blood count. Since side effects of these chemicals can be fatalistic, causing other health issues which had to be treated according to the individual symptoms and allergic reactions to these chemicals, it is vital to investigate this terroristic act thoroughly and stop this behavior. These chemicals create toxic fumes that are invisible to the naked eye, therefore, it is very important to investigate and stop the creation of these chemicals. Since the creators of these chemicals have found the Pathway of the Nervous System, they are focusing on the vital organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, uterus, private parts, mammary glands, pressure points of the body, and every other parts of the body that have the Nervous System. The symptoms of the Nervous System when attack by the chemicals are needle like, double needle, razor like, itching, cramping, throbbing, burning and sharp pain. The people need to know what is happening in the environment so that they can report it plus take care of themselves properly. The Respiratory System is also attack to cause coughing, difficult breathing, burning of the throat which caused coughing, and then it gets into the lungs to create bronchitis, then pneumonia. These chemicals create natural symptoms which confuses doctors and victims. People who are already sick can be vulnerable to other health issues which threaten the lives of the victims. For example, Sherry, my friend went in to see the doctor for stuffy nose and difficulty breathing. The doctor told her that she has asthma, yet she never had asthma in her life. Sherry for the second time got sick, this time her Respiratory System was attacked with the chemicals causing an allergic reaction which looks like asthma. If, this allergic reaction is not treated properly it gets into bronchitis then pneumonia. The doctors need to know what is happening in the environment and how the chemicals can create natural symptoms which confuse doctors and victims. Stop this entertainment that is dangerous to all life. Humanity must be protected now and for the future generation. This is the year of 2015; there are technologies and tools to investigate this horrible act. Therefore, it means that there has to be strong leadership to stop this behavior which is like "mob psychology", where people with low self esteem would follow a leader who determines to destroy and torture people for fun. This leader is an "out of the box" thinker and he was able to motivate others to find the Pathway on the Nervous System plus create chemicals for the Respiratory System which is the life support of all living things. It is vital to stop this harassment because the chemicals give out invisible fumes to destroy all life. Stop the creators and harassers from polluting the environment with these toxic chemicals and making them accountable for this terroristic act to cause pain, disability and death to some of the victims. Chemicals are dangerous to all life. Sign this petition to tell our leaders-Kamla Persad-Bissessar, President Obama, Prime Minister Cameron and Stephen Harper that it is vital to stop these harassers and creators of these chemicals in Trinidad where it is very hot. The creators are being very progressive and they are creating new chemicals that might not be detected if there are no tools to Investigate. This Investigation will help America, Canada, United Kingdom and other countries that might be affected with this terroristic act. Get your friends and family to sign this petition which will help protect lives and all living things in the environment.

We are students in 7th grade trying to help the environment by getting rid of a harmful product. The use of Styrofoam can harm both the environment and one's health. The creation of Styrofoam releases 57 harmful, chemical by-products into the air. Styrofoam is not biodegradable and is not easily recycled. Therefor, there is no easy way to dispose of it without harming the environment. Not only does Styrofoam harm the environment, but eating or drinking out of a Styrofoam container can harm your health. The Styrene that is in the Styrofoam leaks into and contaminates the food or drink you will be consuming. By signing this petition, you are committing to stop the use of Styrofoam in your household!

Bird populations are declining at an alarming rate with an estimated 1 billion birds killed by window collisions per year in the US alone. Let's stop being the nation's example of the problem and be an example for the solution.

Let's empower landowners to STAND UP! for their rights against the proposed PennEast pipeline.

Solar energy is one of the best bets for getting off of coal and onto the path to renewable energy. But the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission wants to limit the financial credit for the solar energy that Pennsylvanians generate on their own. Tell the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to let to stop this rule!

It is absurd to waste one gallon of water per almond. That is correct, one almond = one gallon of water used. We are instructed to conserve water in our households, but almond farmers are relentlessly wasting California's water supply. Everyone can live without almonds. No one can live without water.

I recently spent a week at Yosemite National Park as a school chaperone for my daughter's Sixth Grade class. The point of visiting that place of beauty was to instill in the children respect for the natural world. How sad it was to see plastic botttles littering the hiking trail , and streams. John Muir would be very unhappy to see the desecration of his special wilderness. Let's make the Yosemite a plastic free place!

My children are grown, but they are having their own babies now. This is a vital, and unavoidable priority we owe our children, grandchildren, and generations to follow. I am not an elected legislator or governor, but if I were, I would assume the responsibility of expediting this very issue. Because I am only a constituent, and not one of the elected, I can take this step of encouragement to do the right thing.

Don't like the message? Don't kill the messenger! Let the governor and legislature know about the vital services that are at stake. These are the people who: -Create classroom materials about our natural world -Train teachers and scout leaders to deliver those messages with robust lesson plans and engaging activities. -Teach people of all ages how to hunt and fish and care for habitat -Tell us about the wonders of our first-class state park system and add value to your visits there. -Inform us about natural resources issues through press releases and web content. -Interpret the findings of 30 DNR scientists and others, and share them through video stories and training on YouTube, Public Service Announcements on radio, TV, theaters, web and billboards, social media like Facebook, Twitter and live Chats, and the Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine. See that issue on your coffee table? It just might be your last, even though you’ve already paid for your subscription. We really appreciate your support. In addition to signing this petition, contact members of the Joint Finance Committee now and ask that they restore all 57 positions and remind them that they are all either federally funded or funded by user fees like fishing and hunting licenses. These position cuts will have no effect on the state budget.

While not nearly as expensive as oil, water runs a close second among necessary commodities. Millions of gallons of water are allowed to run freely into the Gulf of Mexico after torrential rainstorms that keep the Gulf States nearly perpetually green, but no significant efforts are in place to divert any of this daily waterfall.

I am tired of having to search on labels for natural foods that won't harm me and my family.
