The Florida Panther is one of the most endangered species in the world. Development in and around the Florida everglades has damaged and restricted the Florida Panther's habitat to a single population of between 100 and 180 species. We need strong land-use policies to stop giant developers from wiping out the last Florida Panthers!

We need a solution to climate change ... here it is!

More renewable energy is available from rooftop solar in San Diego and Los Angeles Counties than will be derived from the siting of utility-scale generating facilities on 2 million acres of desert habitat called for in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan. The unintended consequences of utility-scale facilities in the desert are becoming known and are unacceptable--dust storms in Lancaster, midair incineration of birds at Ivanpah, depletion of scarce groundwater in Borrego Springs.

The Gallery of Clean Energy Inventions includes 41 generators, 16 advanced self-powered electric vehicle innovations, 25 radioactivity neutralization methods, 22 space travel innovations, 10 technical solutions to water shortages, and torsion field school network. See https://app.box.com/CLEANENERGYEXHIBIT. $1 billion would establish a comprehensive proactive clean energy inventions evaluation and development organization headquartered in Nevada. Clean energy inventions would be much cheaper, healthier and better for our environment than obsolete energy sources like solar, wind, uranium, and fossil fuels. For example the $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar thermal generator near Las Vegas is inefficient and kills 28,000 birds a year!

The Keystone XL Pipeline would accelerate climate change and put the environment at risk, but Republican Congressional leaders are pledging to send legislation approving the project to the President’s desk in the next Congress. We need to stand together and stop it before we’re too late. Climate change is already harming the farms, forests and other natural resources our economy depends on, and this project will only make climate change worse. The Keystone XL Pipeline will take the dirtiest fuel source in the world – tar sands oil from Canada – across America to the Gulf Coast. We need to be burning less carbon, and keeping the dirtiest forms of carbon in the ground but this project is wrong on both counts. Not only that, but it won’t do anything to reduce oil prices in America – the Keystone XL is about shipping oil from Canada to China, through a pipeline that puts our land and water at risk. That’s a tradeoff that isn’t good for anyone, and it’s why were calling on the President commit to veto any harmful legislation that would approve Keystone XL. We need your voice. Sign the petition!

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.
