Despite the clear danger our communities face from storms, flooding, and rising sea level caused by climate change, recent reports reveal that many government officials in Florida are no longer allowed to say the term "climate change." This misguided attempt to politically censor the very people in charge of making policies that will reduce carbon pollution and help our communities adapt to our changing climate isn't just outrageous—it's dangerous.

1. The 2014 national climate assessment for the US found an “imminent threat of increased inland flooding” in Florida due to climate change and called the state “uniquely vulnerable to sea level rise.” 2. Officials with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the agency in charge of setting conservation policy and enforcing environmental laws in the state, issued directives in 2011 barring thousands of employees from using the phrases “climate change” and “global warming.” 3. A report ties the alleged policy, which is described as “unwritten”, to the election of Republican governor Rick Scott and his appointment of a new department director that year. Scott, who was re-elected last November, has declined to say whether he believes in climate change caused by human activity. 4. According to employees’ accounts, the ban left damaging holes in everything from educational material published by the agency to training programs to annual reports on the environment that could be used to set energy and business policy.

The president vetoed legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline, but the issue is far from settled. In a recent op-ed, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised that they’re “just getting started.” We don't need another round of fights over an environmentally dangerous project. Instead, we need to turn our attention to projects that create good-paying jobs for the middle class and position us for long-term benefits. The far right has shown a willingness to rehash the same fights again and again. And you don’t have to look any further than the dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act to see it. Sign our petition and tell congressional leaders that it’s time to move on from this fight.

It's about the current threat to our ecosystem. The Oil & Coal Trains are hauling highly volatile crude oil in transport cars that have been deemed to be in unsafe condition. With the combination of higher volume of oil & crude along with sub-standard condition cars it is a ticking time bomb. Uncovered coal trains are contaminating the air and areas surrounding the railroads. The surrounding communities where the railroads travel do not have resources to respond to a derailment of this magnitude.

Wolves are necessary to keep balance in our wild life!

We're starting this campaign so the priceless value of Cooper Lake and our Woodstock watershed will never be forgotten.

Beer, which is easily the nation’s most popular adult beverage, is made up of more than 90% water, and water is the only ingredient that can truly be called local in most beers. Every brewery depends on the local water supply — be it river, reservoir or groundwater — to craft their brews. Loopholes have been carved into the Clean Water Act that leave more than half our nation’s streams and the drinking water of 117 million Americans at risk to pollution. Thankfully, the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers have proposed a rule to restore these protections to our streams and drinking water, which has broad public support. Year after year, polls show that more Americans are concerned with water quality than any other environmental issue, and 87% of the million public comments on the clean water rule were in support of restoring these protections. Yet big polluters and their friends in Congress are doing all they can to block the clean water rule. Understanding that great beer takes great water, many of the nation’s breweries have come out in support of the clean water rule(1). Noticeably absent from those supporting the rulemaking is the nation’s largest beer company, Anheuser-Busch. On its website, the company claims, “Water is a key ingredient in the brewing of all our beers and vital to life on the planet.” That’s exactly why everyone – including Anheuser-Busch – needs the clean water rule. You can’t make good beer with bad water, and Anheuser-Busch — which operates a dozen breweries in the United States — relies heavily on clean water to make its popular products. Please tell Anheuser-Busch to make a clear and public statement in support of the clean water rule. 1.

I want to support the heroic efforts of Cape Wind's President Jim Gordon to combat runaway Climate Change. This project has been delayed for 14 years by huge amounts of fossil fuel money and 26 frivolous lawsuits trying to run out the clock. National Grid must honor its commitment so this can move forward.

For 10 years New Jersey has been fighting, trying to get Exxon Mobil to pay $8.9 Billion in damages for polluted land. The Christie administration agreed to a proposed settlement that would allow Exxon Mobil to pay just $225 million, less than 3% of the $8.9 billion in pollution damages the state spent a decade suing to recover. The affected area is literally right in Linden's backyard. As Mayor of the great city of Linden, I believe the residents need some rational explanation for the monetary settlement and specifics on how the contamination will be cleaned considering the loss of use, for years and years, they have endured to protected wetlands, marshes, meadows and waters in the city.

The Marines and their Families that were poisoned by Contaminated Drinking Water... Poisoned and Sick and dying. Chemicals that are Human Carcinogens. Clean that Base up!!!

Solar power is a more efficient energy source and it will create many jobs over the long-term. Currently, 12,000 jobs are supported with what Solar Power we have now, imagine the opportunities if we can expand this to 20% of MA!
