Good news: President Obama has promised to veto legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. With the President's vow to veto, he has shown that he's willing to take some heat for standing up to Big Oil. How he can make his mark on history by rejecting the pipeline once and for all. President Obama has the support he needs -- from science, and from the people -- to reject the pipeline. An 830,000 barrel per day pipeline of the world's dirtiest oil will obviously contribute to climate change, failing his climate test.

Government reports show that if Shell drills for oil in the Arctic, there is a 75% chance of a large oil spill. Tell the U.S. government to protect polar bears and other wildlife by stopping Shell's plans to drill in the Arctic.

Plastic bags don’t breakdown, carry toxins, are made of petroleum, endanger aquatic life, and ruin Baltimore City and it’s waterways both environmentally and aesthetically. We need to switch to a sustainable and reusable bag system. We certainly need to do more to address the litter epidemic in Baltimore City but, banning certain types of one time use plastic bags is a step in the right direction. Please let the Mayor know that we want this plastic bag ban and that vetoing Ordinance 14-0372 is not acceptable. www.zerolitter.com

Second-hand smoke is a health hazard and a nuisance. Apartment residents have no recourse against this; innocent babies, children, and elderly people are affected by it. It's not fair to have this poisonous smoke where we eat, sleep, and live. We have a right to breathe clean air.

Last year North Carolina ranked 2nd (only to California) in terms of solar capacity added. But we still get less than 1% of our energy from the sun. Greensboro has a history of innovation, so we should encourage the city to take the lead on solar, and commit to getting 10% of it's energy from solar power. We can clean up the environment AND create local jobs at the same time. So let's Grow Solar Greensboro!

Every year, over a million gallons of water go wasted and unused down the hillside behind the TxAIR buildings on the UT Tyler campus. This water strips topsoil from the ground and erodes the creek below during heavy rains. We want permission from the University to use this site for a garden and put this water to work irrigating our vegetables - instead of hurting our creek. If you want to save the creek, and grow some food, sign our petition and... Let's start a community garden at UT Tyler! PS - If you are a UT Tyler student, then include your 10 digit student ID with your name. Thanks! Also - please visit our Facebook page at Clean Food UT Tyler to stay in touch with this project and get important updates on our progress.

The U.S. House just voted to approve the pipeline and the Senate is expected to pass it within hours. This is a last-ditch effort by Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu to save her seat at the expense of our health and climate. Urge President Obama to veto the dangerous Keystone XL Pipeline!

Monsanto’s genetically modified and pesticide-laden food is at an all-time high. Their creation of Round-up Ready crops have been directly responsible for the destruction of habitat of many species, including the Monarch Butterfly. Not only that, but Monsanto has the gall to sue states and countries who have stood up to this giant and passed legislation to ban or label GMOs -- draining tax-payer dollars in an attempt to financially overpower our democracy. It is time to take a stand and MAKE Monsanto listen -- and the only way to do that is with our wallets. Sign this petition to tell Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant that until Monsanto changes to become healthier, GMO-free, more eco-friendly, and more ethical, you will not purchase any of the products from any of these Monsanto companies or Allies: Aunt Jemima Aurora Foods Banquet Bayer Best Foods Betty Crocker Bisquick Cadbury Campbells Capri Sun Carnation Chef Boyardee Coca Cola ConAgra Delicious Brand Cookies Duncan Hines Famous Amos Frito Lay General Mills Green Giant Healthy Choice Heinz Hellmans Hershey's Nestle Holsum Hormel Hungry Jack Hunts Interstate Bakeries Jiffy KC Masterpiece Keebler/Flowers Industries Kelloggs Kid Cuisine Knorr Kool-Aid Kraft/Phillip Morris Lean Cuisine Lipton Loma Linda Marie Callenders Minute Maid Morningstar Ms. Butterworths Nabisco Nature Valley Ocean Spray Ore-Ida Orville Redenbacher Pasta-Roni Pepperidge Farms Pepsi Pillsbury Pop Secret Post Cereals Power Bar Brand Prego Pasta Sauce Pringles Procter and Gamble Quaker Ragu Sauce Rice-A-Roni Roundup Smart Ones Starbucks Stouffers Schweppes Tombstone Pizza Totinos Uncle Ben's Unilever V8

Standing Rock Tribal Members went to the polls in record numbers to support Senator Heidi Heitkamp. We want her to know we are opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline. We want to remind her that her slogan was "A Voice for Indian Country". Indian Country is saying , "NO TO KXL".
