The semi-truck and dump truck traffic is causing livability and safety issues to residents of Bennette Estates. Residents insist a call for action for creating a solution to this ongoing nuisance in a swift and timely manner

BIG POLLUTERS ARE ILLEGALLY INJECTING WASTE INTO DRINKING WATER SOURCES: SHUT THEM DOWN! Sign today! Petition will be delivered THIS WEEK Stop Big Polluters from ruining our aquifers! Californians are outraged. In this time of severe and prolonged drought — while we’re struggling to conserve water and worried for the future of our communities — our own state government has been permitting oil and gas companies to inject vast quantities of hazardous waste fluid into our aquifers. Reports surfacing now reveal that drilling operations dump chemically-contaminated fluids into the California water supply, and the state’s Division of Oil Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) — the government agency under Gov. Brown tasked with supervising these operations — confirmed that they authorized the systematic pollution of groundwater. DOGGR verified the reports but did not change course, and Big Polluters still have permission from the State of California to carry on with business as usual. Despite public outcry and in obvious violation of federal law, oil and gas companies are sticking with state-authorized groundwater pollution to solve their hazardous waste disposal problems. They must be stopped. As Californians, we understand the value and growing scarcity of our groundwater, and extreme drought has bound us together in our struggle to conserve. When our public officials fail to protect our sources of water that would be suitable for drinking, they betray our efforts and risk our vital resources. Voters are outraged: Take action now! This is a joint campaign of: Clean Water Action: www.cleanwater.org, @cleanh2oca and California League of Conservation Voters: www.ecovote.org, @clcv

On January 29, 2015, during the Delaware Township budget meeting, representatives from Delaware Township Citizens Against the Pipeline (DTCAP) requested the township committee to commit $15,000 to hire expert witnesses to present strong, verifiable facts collected by talented volunteers and professionals. To date, the Township Committee has failed to dedicate the requested funding.

1. The pika is a favorite sight for California hikers who often see them hopping across the rocks and carrying little bouquets of wildflowers in their mouth. 2.Using historical data, researchers found that pikas are no longer found in 15 percent of their California range, places that are on average 2.2 degrees warmer than sites where they remain. They predict that by 2070, pikas will have disappeared from nearly 40 to 90 percent of those sites.

In states all across the country, fracking for oil and gas has led to water contamination, air pollution, and serious public health impacts. What's more, fracking also contributes to climate change. Simply stated, fracking is too dangerous to be part of our energy plan. Please protect the people and environment of Florida by supporting a statewide ban on fracking.

With Maryland’s new governor, Larry Hogan, saying he supports moving forward with fracking for gas in our state -- and with mounting evidence of the threat to our health -- we don’t have a moment to lose. Ask your state legislators to protect Maryland residents by passing a long-term moratorium on fracking! The Protect Our Health and Communities Act (HB 449/SB 409), recently introduced in the Maryland General Assembly with over 45 co-sponsors, would put a hold on drilling in Maryland. The bill would provide time for long-term health studies on fracking to be conducted, so that we fully understand the risks before deciding to subject Maryland residents to a public health experiment. Call on your legislators to act in 2015 -- before the gas industry is allowed to rush in and cause potentially irreversible harm to our air, water, soil and health.

The cost of infrastructure for renewable energy is at an all-time low and dropping steadily. We have a chance of meeting the planetary goal of cutting our greenhouse gases by 8 to 10% per year beginning NOW if we want a 50/50 chance of keeping below a rise in temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. What cleaner way to put rural New Mexicans back to work?

Forest City, King Soopers and The City Council have not been effective in addressing this issue. No community outreach has been undertaken and the gas station remains in the plans.

According to the scientific community, we do not have much time left to sort out our environmental practices, so that the earth can support the life that is currently here. However, if we act NOW, we can prevent the extinction of approximately 200 species a day, tens of thousands of human deaths everyday from poverty, lift people out of crippling poverty in richer countries, as well as in 'developing nations', and ensure that our earth can support the life that is on it. We, as humanity on this earth, claim these ten basic, universal birthrights for everyone who so chooses: The right to: *sustainable, nutritious food *sustainable clean water *sanitation *sustainable shelter *sustainable clothing *healthcare *education *access to sustainable transportation *sustainable energy *an earth that can support the life on it- meaning, in addition to sustainable energy, that no more unnecessary consumer goods are produced that are not environmentally sustainable- recyclable, etc. That's 10 basic universal rights. If humanity could come together and agree upon those rights, and then agree on effective action that we can take in order to ensure those rights (ideally starting with a peaceful, international day of public protest), it would be revolutionary. It would change our world for the better so incredibly drastically- we would have economic rights, which would probably be delivered through a universal basic income (that's how we would provide for the basic rights that I outlined), and we would have a healthy earth with sane environmental laws.

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 and the courts to stop the Pacific Connector pipeline. Please join us before the February 13 deadline in telling FERC not to prioritize corporate income over the health of our environment and communities.

Glynn County government has long denied residents adequate means of finding out about applications for development that go before the Island Planning Commission. The IPC, whose members are appointed by the Glynn County Board of Governors, routinely approves high-density development with inadequate traffic studies and ill-advised variances to established county ordinances. The welfare and privacy of residents is ignored, and their quality of life is severely impacted, as small shaded island roads are burdened with increasingly heavy traffic. We demand that Glynn County Government use the time provided by the moratorium on all pending applications for development and all future applications until such time as a Tree ordinance is created, and outdated County ordinances have been updated to serve the public interest. Moreover, we demand that the GCC and the IPC revise their means of advertising development applications and zoning changes such that the entire population of Glynn County is alerted when such applications come within their purview. We the people of Glynn County demand to be informed in advance whenever any developer or any County department proposes to clear-cut land, cut marsh buffers, or cut down any trees whether ancient Live Oaks or other hardwood species. We the people demand that the public shall be consulted and their approval secured before another roundabout is built. We demand that the Glynn County Board of Commissioners shall not pave parking lots to the detriment of our magnificent beaches and that beach parking will be forever free to the public.

Last weekend another train carrying crude oil derailed in South Philadelphia, within a mile of thousands of homes. Just like last year, when a train derailed off the tracks in Philly and dangled over I-76, the city’s residents got lucky and there was no significant damage and no one was hurt. The National Safety Review Board has recommended these highly explosive oil trains avoid highly populated areas and rolling by schools, hospitals, and playgrounds. Unfortunately, these trains are filled with Bakken crude oil, a highly combustible substance, and they have a lengthy track record of horrendous accidents and near misses. Just this week, an oil train crashed in West Virginia with the explosion sending flames shooting 300 feet in the air and requiring the evacuation of thousands of people. A disaster in Quebec in 2013 cost 47 people their lives. Throughout Pennsylvania and across the nation, there have been dozens of oil train accidents and close calls in the last few years. This disaster is a clear reminder that we need to get off oil. In the meantime though, we should ban these oil trains from traveling through our cities, before it is too late.
