For years, we at the Sierra Club have fought to ensure that the new housing we desperately need goes into places where we have already built, so as to minimize traffic, preserve our best ag lands and protect the beauty of our island. This project belongs in Kapolei - not on the best farmland in all of Hawai‘i

Fracking is dangerous to the earth and our health. I lived in a county were they were doing this and I could light my water on fire as it came out of the faucet. Reckless greed should not determine everything in our lives especially without giving us the power to protect ourselves.

Five years ago, millions of barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico during the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The Gulf still hasn’t fully recovered from the spill, yet now the Department of the Interior is proposing to open even more of our coastal waters to offshore drilling. This shortsighted and irresponsible policy would put our coastal ecosystems and communities at even greater risk, and is shortsighted and irresponsible policy. Earthjustice and I are partnering with groups across the country to demand action now to keep more drill rigs out of the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. And we need your help. Join me in telling the Obama administration to stop new leasing in the Atlantic and the Arctic oceans. New offshore drilling and leasing in those areas would open fragile and priceless coastal ecosystems to damage from pollution and spills, pose immeasurable risk to economies and communities up and down the Atlantic seaboard, and accelerate global climate disruption. An oil spill in any body of water causes irreparable damage. It’s just not worth it. If we’re going to successfully turn the tide on climate change, we must move away from all fossil fuels—whether it’s fracking, tar sands, mountaintop removal, or offshore drilling—and focus our efforts on increasing renewable energy. Now is the time to tell the Department of the Interior that drill rigs have no place in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

During car trips across the U.S., I noticed that most states do not have a lot of billboards. While returning home from a road trip from Florida I could tell when I was in Michigan because of the overwhelming amount of billboards. During car trips, kids and adults will usually rarely look outside the window; they mainly play on a mobile device or watch a movie. All in all, I think billboards are a very ugly and insufficient way to advertise. Getting rid of billboards will make Michigan even more beautiful.

To ask the NC lawmakers to extend the solar credit. The current bill expires in December.

Jekyll Island is one of Georgia’s most beautiful places — and a state park that belongs to all Georgians. But in recent years, developers have threatened the island’s forests, marshes and beaches with overdevelopment. We respectfully ask you, Nathan Deal, governor of Georgia, to protect our Georgia shores from pollution and industrialization.

I am concerned about environmental pollution and dangers to wildlife and our food chain. Plastic in the ocean poses major danger to all kinds of sea life and the fisheries world-wide. Our coastal communities and the Alaska economy are very dependent on a healthy fishing industry. Therefore this issue should be of great concern for the well being of all Alaskans and I hope for their understanding and support.

The Mariner Cay, Yacht and Country Club of Stuart, and Rocky Point residential neighborhoods will be severely impacted by an obtrusive, looming 120 ft telecommunications tower. Better to have small cells installed on rooftops and utility poles to increase wireless capacity. This tower would be a hazard to public safety, a disruption to the quality of our lives, and deprive us of the right to the quiet enjoyment of our homes.

This man is unaware or unwilling to admit that our plant is in jeopardy due to climate change. He acts against our interests in living in a state where every tree, animal and human will suffer from climate change. His votes are all ones which lead us closer to death and destruction.

I believe phone books are obsolete and an unnecessary waste of trees and other valuable resources.

As a native New Jerseyan, I'm outraged that Gov. Christie put his own political ambitions above the welfare of this state's residents & environment. Exxon must be held accountable for the damage it has caused, & not given a token slap on the wrist.

Plentiful sun, wind, geothermal power and waves make Hawai'i a unique leader in alternative energy, and yet we are still the most oil-dependent state in America. In May the legislature passed HB623, a bill to make Hawai'i the first state in the nation to adopt a 100 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard. If Governor David Ige signs the bill, Hawai'i utilities will generate 100 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2045, with milestones in 2020 and 2040. This sets a precedent for the nation and the world, but will we adopt renewables broadly and quickly enough before we burn all the oil we've already found? Add your name if you think our energy crisis should be our and our legislators' top priority.
