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.

Mr. Enright has bachelor’s degrees in psychology and philosophy and a Master of Science degree in conflict analysis and resolution. His work experience is inadequate for the Chair of the Dept. of Agriculture, and more appropriate for a corporate lobbyist. He has been described as “Charged by the Governor to assist Big Island Dairy.”, which, on behalf of a private investment firm, will be trashing parts of Kauai and Big Island with waste, pesticides, deforestation, and perpetrating lots and lots of animal cruelty! He has publicly opposed GMO labeling and wants state money to go into GMO research for animal feed, as well as many other livestock operation boondoggles. He is opposed to pesticide regulation enforcement, including opposing money for additional inspectors, urging the legislature to allow self regulation by industry instead. He is opposed to any pesticide buffer zones by parks, schools, and hospitals. He is opposed to taking responsibility for the continued mismanagement of the state animal quarantine station. He is the wrong nominee for the job and should be rejected.

Steve Anderson was a Brigadier General who served directly under Petraeus in Iraq in 2006. Tasked with saving the lives of soldiers, Anderson discovered that thousands of soldiers were dying on fuel convoys transporting fuel to generators for remote outposts."If Americans knew how our reliance on oil is putting our soldiers lives at risk, they'd be outraged" says Anderson. When Anderson and his staff developed a solution using spray foam insulation for military installations, it cut energy usage by 80%, saving billions in tax payer dollars, and countless lives of soldiers. Despite the success of the program, there's been little effort to expand the scope of the initiative, which is why we need an across the board energy efficiency policy. The actual memo that we want Ash Carter to sign can be found at http://www.greenthemilitary.org The U.S. military is the largest consumer of energy and oil in the world, and our defense contractors also supply most of the world's militaries. The U.S. military's reliance on oil endangers the lives of American soldiers, costs taxpayers billions, and increases greenhouse gas emissions, which disrupts the climate and creates global instability. Furthermore, technology developed by the U.S. military--GPS, Internet, Computers--often spills over into civilian life and becomes used around the world. Our military is also the envy of the world, and also trains many other militaries around the world, which means that practices adopted by the U.S. military often get adopted by other militaries, which affect their civilian populations as well. If Ash Carter, the Secretary of Defense, were to sign a memo mandating energy efficiency from the top-down as a metric of job performance, establishing reporting and accounting mechanisms to make everyone accountable for their energy usage, and making energy consumption a Key Performance Parameter (KPP) for all military equipment purchases, it would create a chain reaction that can help lead the world away from a dependency on fossil fuels.

Duke Energy has repeatedly over pruned trees, which destroys the aesthetics of home and neighborhood landscapes. They have also sprayed chemical herbicides to kill plants by powerlines without informing residents they are planning to do so. This could be dangerous for individuals, animals, children and the hives of local beekeepers. Please sign this petition to ask Duke Energy to work with residents by maintaining the health and aesthetics of nature when pruning trees to protect the power lines. Educate residents by providing arborist recommended guidelines and give homeowners the option of maintaining their own landscape. Please inform residents before using herbicides or other chemicals and give them a choice to opt out of herbicidal and other chemical applications. Incorporate transparent policies and procedures when working with homeowners. Please respect the personal property of homeowners and residents as we are Duke Energy paying customers.

While the entire state is urged to conserve water and is potentially facing mandatory water usage restrictions, Nestlé is bottling the scarce resource straight from the heart of California’s drought and selling it for profit -- according to a recent Desert Sun report. Since Nestlé’s bottling plant -- which extracts water for its Arrowhead and Pure Life brands -- is located on the Morongo Band of Mission Indians’ reservation, it is exempt from oversight by local water agencies and is able to keep information about its groundwater levels and usage confidential. Therefore, it’s impossible to know just how much of the limited resource the plant is extracting to export and sell elsewhere. And to top it off, the bottling plant is located in one of the most drought-stricken areas of the state. With a recent report showing that California only has enough water to last the state one more year, we must put an end to this madness at Nestlé before it’s too late. Join us!

Issues: Climate Change, Environment, Human Rights, and the effects on the health of all living things. Aluminum is toxic, yet there is an increasing amount of aluminum being found in ground water, soils and even freshly fallen rain and snow world wide. The spraying of Chemical trails are witnessed being sprayed world wide. These Chemical trails are seen being sprayed via white unmarked aircraft at very high altitude at often steep trajectories leaving an aerosol trail that does not dissipate, and spreads out across the sky throughout the course of the day. The spraying of undisclosed substances by these planes coincides with the rise in aluminum amongst various other toxic substances being found to contaminate the soils, ground water, rain, and snow. We need to stop this secret program to ensure the safety of the American public, global community, and all living things on this planet.

Even though Maine passed a mandatory GMO labeling law in 2013, Maine citizens, myself included, still don't have the right to know if our food has been genetically engineered--thanks to a trigger clause in the original law. That's about to change, if we convince Maine lawmakers to support a bipartisan bill introduced this year.

I go to the beaches of NC during the summer with my family, and I want to preserve the NC coast's beauty and marine life. The whales are precious to me, and 8 of the 10 "Great Whale" species migrate off of our coast.
