Last year, North Carolina ranked second only to California in terms of solar capacity added. Our recent report, Star Power, showed that we can reach 20% solar by 2030 at a fifth of our current growth. Our challenge now is to keep the surge in solar power growing strong! We know that the cities with the most solar power aren’t just the ones with the most sunshine; they’re also the communities with smart pro-solar policies. That's why we're asking Raleigh to commit to a bold yet achievable goal of 15% solar by 2030!

Through recently passed zoning and the imminent construction of a 384 unit condo project, this neighborhood could add over 500 new residential units in the coming years. The City of Poughkeepsie should not alienate Wheaton Park to sell it to a private developer. Do we really need 40+ more condo units, including private parking for them near our riverfront instead of Wheaton Park? We have plenty of empty housing, why keep building more at the price of a outdoor recreation? Parks are more, not less, needed than ever before. Wheaton Park's scenic vistas and premier gateway location next to the train station are a major community asset that should not be "for sale."

There is a pervasive lack of understanding of the toxicity and prevalence of bifenthrin and most states are not looking for bifenthrin in urban streams. This is a silent killer that no one is looking for. We could have healthy urban streams full of fish and strong local economies if we properly manage our urban environments. Banning bifenthrin would be a large step in that direction.

50% of all children will be Autistic in 10 years! Please help in signing this Petition to Expose the pesticide effect on our society and our children. Tell your politicians we need reform and immediate action! I have a 9 month old baby girl and fear having another child due to the rising incidence of autism. My nephew is autistic. The numbers have dramatically increased and can no longer be ignored. The government is not spending the money for research needed. More and more private research points to the governmental agencies avoiding proper testing due to costs involved in fixing the issues. Today's support structure relies on charitable donations and begging for help.

We currently live in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our children play here and attend school just down the street. A cell tower so close to our homes will drastically reduce the liveability of our neighborhood. This proposed tower should be stopped.

We urge all to sign this petition because time is of the essence. The Algonquin Pipeline Expansion Project will impact citizens of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. There are only a few weeks left before the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection makes a final decision regarding its certification of water quality for the Incremental market (AIM) pipeline expansion project. Spectra Energy could start construction of the AIM project as early March 2015. After that Spectra Energy will be on track to push for similar pipeline expansion projects, including the Atlantic Bridge and Access Northeast. The health and safety of our citizens as well as the protection of our environment should be our top priority.

I am strongly opposed to the Keystone XL Project. It is environmentally dangerous, provides no benefits for working Americans and is principally backed by corporate interests who control Congress. Enough is enough!

We in Lancaster county are against the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline, as the government gives Williams Co. the right to take our property, our nature preserves, and our farmland to run gas overseas for company profits. This is against the people's rights in this country.

Jordan Cove and Oregon LNG cannot build the terminals or pipelines without a Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit. The Army Corps can deny the permit if it determines that the projects are not in the public interest. Neither of these proposed projects are in the public interest and, therefore, should not be constructed. Further, Clean Water Act Section 401 empowers states to decide if federal permits comply with state laws designed to protect water quality, fish, and other aquatic life. The Corps cannot issue the critical in-water work permit (aka “Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit”) if DEQ denies 401 certification.

We have watched the impact on the surrounding environment from the Enbridge oil spill in 2010, which changed forever over 40 miles of river through many different communities, only to hope that this will or can never happen to or in The Great Lakes....

To whom it may concern: We the people and as Advocates for wolves demand the FWS of Utah punish the man responsible for the death of "Echo" to be punished according to the Endangered Species Act.

The oil and gas industry in California produces 130 billion gallons of wastewater every year from fracking and other forms of oil extraction. This massive waste stream is highly toxic, laced with chemicals, salts and often radioactive materials. Unlined pits allow toxic chemicals to percolate into the ground and evaporate into the air. It's time for Big Oil to stop poisoning potential sources of drinking and irrigation water, and polluting our air. There are over 400 active pits in the Central Valley, where pollution and the drought have already severely reduced ground and surface water resources. Most of these pits are operating without adequate monitoring or oversight. The Central Valley Water Board has detected toxic plumes of wastewater that have migrated from some of the largest waste pits, yet has continued to allow dumping! Air samples near some pits detected 24 different volatile organic compounds (VOC's), yet air regulators have done nothing to limit the pollution. For more information visit: www.cleanwater.org/ca
