Right now, members of Congress are working on legislation to remove existing Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across some—and possibly almost all—of the lower 48 states. These anti-wolf legislators could succeed, unless we fight back now. Wolves have just begun to recover in some areas of the United States after being nearly wiped out by centuries of ruthless hunting, trapping, and poisoning. Despite fragile successes that have brought wolves back to the northern Rockies and the Midwest, they are still missing from a vast majority of their former range and are subject to mounting persecution even where they have been restored. Urge your senators and congressional representative to stand up for wolves! Federal protections for wolves in the lower 48 states are critical to securing the recovery of existing populations and allowing wolves to expand into other suitable habitat in places like Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, the southern Rocky Mountains, and the Northeast. Now the House and Senate are poised to take up legislation to strip wolves of their federal protections in states including Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. If anti-wolf legislators get their way, the result will be more state-led killing of wolves and a blow to the Endangered Species Act, our nation’s safety net for imperiled species. Urge your senators and representatives to oppose any anti-wolf legislation put forth in this Congress.

Unfortunately, many of these trips have a devastating impact on the environment – but it doesn't have to be that way. We need your help to convince Carnival Cruise Lines, one of the worst actors, to clean up its act!

To protect the welfare and interests of the citizens of Erie, Colorado.

In 2014, residents of North Braddock were approached to lease their land for gas development. Fracking began to be seen and promoted by some as the cure for our borough's struggling financial issues. In response, some of us banded together to form a community group, North Braddock Residents For Our Future. We already have steel mill pollution to contend with, and do not want another industrial operation near our homes. We have seen the harm that fracking has brought to communities all over Pennsylvania. We want to find ways to bring positive and lasting change to our borough and we want to tell our local government, we say YES to our health and safety, and NO to fracking in North Braddock.

The USDA approved Monsanto’s new genetically engineered cotton and soybeans that are resistant to dicamba, an herbicide that has been known to cause reproductive and developmental harm. Herbicides like this are poisoning our soil and water and pose a threat to the health of our families, environment, and wildlife. We need less toxic herbicides and pesticides in our food system, not more. But now that these herbicide-resistant seeds have been approved, more toxic chemicals on the food we eat every day could be imminent. We need to push back and tell the USDA that their approval of these seeds is unacceptable.

The SB City Plan Commission recommended the action (3-2)- now it is in the hands of the City Council. One fact continually gets buried = The City of Sturgeon Bay owns that property. They are illegally changing zones for what is now just an interested party. Our Alderman are elected to represent our voice, let them hear us: We the people of the City of Sturgeon Bay REFUSE TO SELL!

Opposition to Hotel/Convention Center Development in Oak Mountain State Park

The residents of Towne Lake are concerned about this type of development in this area.

Imani is the only community garden with garden beds in a 20 block area in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Dozens of local residents, school children, and interested groups have spent thousands of hours building up the Imani garden. It features a greenhouse and 13 raised beds. It provides local organic food for its members and the local community. It is a place for learning, working together, and meeting friends, and it's about to be turned into a condo (or something similar), unless the Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development takes it off the list of properties to be developed before Feb. 19th, 2015. There are hundreds of other sites available that do not have community gardens on them.

Our historic, rural, high density agricultural neighborhood Pleasant View Rural Community, on the border of Boulder and Weld County in Colorado is being severely threatened by two 12 well HFHV sites and two massive facility sites with 36, 25 foot high towers, 12 separators and 12 burn-off towers. Our neighborhood is an inappropriate place for this intensive level of Industrial Oil and Gas Extraction. The current rules and regulations in our state do not protect us from these aggressive invasions. These two HVHF sites would devastate our way of life, the nature in our community, our roads, our property values and our health. Please help us encourage the Governor of Colorado to take strong immediate steps to protect the health, safety and welfare of Colorado citizens. Governor Hickenlooper has the authority to stop HVHF sites from being built near homes and neighborhoods. It is his mandate to protect the precious resources of water and air quality that are currently threatened by major Oil and Gas Industrial Sites across the state. Ask Governor Hickenlooper, Local Governments and the COGCC to stop putting corporate profits ahead of human rights and environmental stewardship.

Over the past year The News Tribune (The McClatchy Company) has tossed millions of unwanted plastic bag wrapped advertisements upon private and public property on a weekly basis. Many of the bags are left to decay in the street where they are washed away by rain directly into Puget Sound via our storm drains. The environmental damage to our Sound as a result is undeniable. Plastic particles are killing our oceans. Stop this indiscriminate trashing of our streets and our Sound by making The News Tribune deliver these "circulars" only to those who have personally requested it. Freedom of the Press is not freedom to mass-litter, especially with plastic. Let’s take a stand for what is right.

The residents of Broward County are facing a drastic change in waste management that will adversely affect the quality of life in our county. Waste Management Inc. is proposing to shut down and level the waste-to-energy facility where 4,500 tons of the county’s post-recycled everyday household waste were transformed into enough clean energy to power 100,000 local homes and offset 2.4 million barrels of oil per year. If the Commissioners approve this, waste will pile up, the stench across the community will again be noxious and property values will fall.
