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".

The University of Hawaiʻi seeks to be a leader in environmental stewardship, and the campus community is now calling for a policy banning single-use plastic water bottles to catalyze sustainable water consumption through a massive reduction in plastic waste produced on campus, increased water refill stations and an overall culture of sustainability.

EPS is harmful to our environment and is one of the most commonly found items during trash clean-ups. With alternate products available, we need to make the responsible decision of moving away from these EPS containers. Sonoma Coast Surfrider would like to present these signatures to SCWMA on December 17, 2014.

I live in Louisville, Kentucky, home of the soon-to-be Majority Leader of the Senate. I am disappointed that he's taken an anti-EPA stance, despite the Kentuckians and other Americans who are helped by strong regulations.

Wolves in Wisconsin may be perilously close to collapse due to aggressive hunting and trapping seasons, poaching, and the unregulated year-round use of dogs to pursue wolves. Worse, the state is likely not accurately counting the number of wolves in its borders. The state of Wisconsin interpreted its wolf census data in secret last winter — for the first time in 25 years. A group of scientists recently outlined multiple flaws in the state's methods of reporting wolf mortality and reporting the wolf population status. The scientists urged the USFWS to start independent scientific review and emergency relisting. The scientists reported that among radio-collared wolves in 2012, for every 4 wolves legally hunted, another 7 were illegally killed, 8 were killed by the government or vehicles, and 2 died of natural causes. Following that, the state declared another wolf-hunting season and legally hunted another 257 wolves in October 2013 and 150 wolves in October 2014. The wolf population can not handle more of the same. Please ask USFWS Director Dan Ashe to listen to these scientists and immediately relist wolves in Wisconsin and to form an independent scientific review panel to monitor any future state recovery plans.

Trevor Alexander is a University of Hawaii student in the part of the U.S. most vulnerable to climate change and most dependent on fossil fuel. He is concerned about where UH dollars are going: the UH Foundation has invested $261 million in funds including fossil fuels! This is dangerous and counterproductive--global warming threatens the livelihood of everyone in Hawaii [1]. In his words: "Current projections indicate global warming could change Hawaii forever as early as 2029 [2]. This isn't a problem for our children, it's our problem--we students will have to try to make a life in a world with more frequent, stronger hurricanes; severe damage to tourism; beach loss; increased disease; water shortages; dying coral reefs; and agricultural losses. It won't look like home anymore." [1] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/28/climate-change-study-hawaii_n_5731956.html [2] http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/mora/Publications.html

Senator Mitch McConnell currently intends to nominate extremist climate-denier Senator Inhofe for Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Inhofe has recently written a book called "The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future," and it is crucial for the future of planet that a more moderate individual receive this post.

Liberty Natural Gas (Liberty LNG) is proposing to build ‘Port Ambrose,’ a deepwater port that would bring combustible liquefied natural gas tankers to the NY/NJ region. Under the Deepwater Port Act, this facility could be used for both the import and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). This proposal is concerning for several reasons: 1. LNG tankers and facilities pose serious security risks, as they are vulnerable to terrorism and hijacking in the busiest port on the east coast and near JFK airport. 2. LNG is a disaster for our climate: methane has an effect on climate 85 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a twenty-year period. 3. Liberty Natural Gas is a secretive corporation of nameless backers based in the Cayman Islands that refuses to disclose who they are and their financial investors. 4. Port Ambrose will likely become an export facility. Once approved for import, it can be flipped to export without further public input, worsening the industrialization of the marine environment, affecting fishing, and intensifying climate change. 5. Port Ambrose will create only six (6) long-term jobs. A real green energy future, including energy conservation and renewables, will create thousands of high paying, permanent jobs.
