Before the public comment period ends on March 30th, 2015, please go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=BOEM-2014-0096-0001 and express your concerns with the proposed offshore Atlantic oil and gas drilling, plus seismic testing. This could be catastrophic for important commercial and recreational fishing and for coastal communities that rely heavily on tourism. Clean, renewable, wind energy should be explored in these areas, not oil. We do not need a BP oil disaster off our coastline!

Washington and Kane County current residents and future generations will be responsible for paying for the multi-billion dollar pipeline; the legislature is not willing to fund the project. There is no apparent real need for the pipeline. "Washington County continues to be the West's most wasteful water user and can do far more to conserve and live sustainably in the desert. "

This is just a short list of some of the reasons why Nevada county should take a step to better our community, like other CA counties have done: steep areas along the road are constantly eroding due lack of vegetation and root systems; mud washes into the roads and clogs drains, creating flooding in the road; mud and herbicides wash into our waterways polluting streams and rivers, hurting our fish population; areas are being sprayed that are mowed by locals, which is a waste of tax dollars and an unnecessary eye-sore; herbicides have known cancer-causing ingredients that can be inhaled by pregnant women and children passing by, and have been known to leach into well water.

The Clean Water Campaign is a statewide effort to educate outdoor enthusiasts about Delaware’s water quality and to secure support for dedicated funding because clean water is critical to our economy, environment, wildlife, food source, and public health.

Recently the chemical industry got exactly what it wanted—again. A new Senate bill was introduced that would not only fail to protect us from dangerous chemicals but also restrain state governments from taking action. Together, we can fight back against business as usual. We must reject the chemical industry’s reprehensible approach and strengthen protections against toxic chemicals. Chemical companies have spent millions lobbying for a free pass to continue putting Americans at risk from chemicals like flame retardants, formaldehyde in flooring, asbestos in dozens of products, and thousands of other chemicals that contaminate our air, water, food, and everyday products. We need you to voice your opposition now to a proposed chemical policy bill introduced by Senators David Vitter and Tom Udall that would leave dangerous holes in our toxic chemical laws.

A lease agreement is proposed between Verizon Wireless and Big Bear City Community Services District, (BBCCSD), to erect the tower on public land adjacent to our residential neighborhood. We believe the installation of the cell tower is inconsistent with the rural character of the surrounding neighborhood. Cell phone towers expose the public to involuntary, chronic, cumulative Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR). These towers emit radio frequencies (RF), a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), for a distance of up to 2 ½ miles. Studies have shown that even at low levels of this radiation, there is evidence of damage to cell tissue and DNA, and it has been linked to brain tumors, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer’s disease, and numerous other serious illnesses. At increased risk are children, pregnant women and the elderly. Wildlife, pets and livestock are also at risk from RF and EMF radiation.

Protecting the Ogallala aquifer. Fracking in the NW corner of Nebraska will put the entire state at risk as the water flows from the Northwest to the southeast of the state. The water in the state flows at a rate of 6mph potential for contamination from one end to the other in three days.

Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys are ready to use the full power of the law to stop the Bureau of Land Management from prioritizing corporate income over the health of our environment and communities.

The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting recently reported that employees and volunteers at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have been directed not to use the words "climate change," "global warming," or “sea level rise.” This news has drawn public outrage across the country. Instead of denying the urgency of climate change, Governor Scott should be leading the charge in renewable energy sources like solar. Please ask the Governor to acknowledge human-caused climate change and work to stop it!

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.
