I own a home in West Haverstraw (N.Y 10993) There is a warehouse 5 feet from my backyard that runs a business of painting cabinets/furniture with lacquer paint that fills the air with paint fumes. The Fumes come through windows of my home sometimes, we can even taste it. I have contacted the EPA,DEC,building inspector, Mayor of West Haverstraw Rockland County Heath Department (who said," its not in the budget any longer to come and inspect anything" local media and social media. I have 4 children we cannot live like this its unhealthy and horrible to smell. The building was zone 50+ years ago,We dont know who approved this 3 years ago allowing a industrial business to run so close to a residential property, this cant be right. Please help us by sharing,supporting and acknowledging this page.

In September, Gov. McAuliffe announced his approval of a plan to allow Dominion Resources to build a new natural gas pipeline originating in the West Virginia gas fields, through Virginia, and into North Carolina. Dominion's proposed pipeline is the wrong energy choice for Virginia. It will negatively impact the agricultural, cultural, and natural resources in the region, especially water. It will impact valued public lands, among the most significant and unique in the East, that are relied on by millions for public drinking water as well as for outdoor recreation. Finally, through gas transport and combustion, it will expand greenhouse emissions from methane, eighty times more potent than carbon as a heat-trapping gas, and continue to fuel climate change. 

I hope you will join us in calling on the Governor to reconsider his endorsement of this destructive project.

We the below signed individuals are opposed to the amendment to Section 23-29-07 of the North Dakota Century Code control eliminating Subsections 2 and 3. As citizens of North Dakota we feel final say should stay at the County level. When permitting an oilfield waste landfill many issues need to be taken into consideration, such as setbacks from homes and businesses, the effect on values of adjacent lands and proposed development of adjacent lands, not just contamination! State officials attempting to take away the rights of local individuals is unacceptable.

The Trinity Parkway tollroad, a nine-mile urban highway through the heart of Dallas, would have a minimal impact on congestion while detracting from popular, ongoing efforts to make downtown Dallas an attractive place to live and work. Tell Dallas City Council to reject this wasteful highway boondoggle project and invest more efficiently in maintenance and other modes of transportation that would make Dallas an even better place to live.

Residents of Potrero Hill are already affected by pollution from both the 101 and 280 freeways. The city and Muni should prioritize allocation of newly purchased hybrid buses to Potrero Hill.

Many owners of apartment complexes forbid tenants to hang their clothes outside to dry because they think "it doesn't look nice". But our concern as a community should be "how can I cut down my energy use to save the planet?" Hanging clothes outside to dry is economical and uses no energy. Everyone should be able to use the sun and the wind to dry their clothes if they choose. It's time to get rid of this archaic lease term!

We do not need it! You have a done a good job in advancing the use of renewable energy sources in our state. There is more than enough gas-pipeline capacity to meet our domestic electricity needs here in Massachusetts, especially given our energy efficiency programs, a fact backed up by reports commissioned by NESCOE. The Low Demand Scenario outlined in the Black & Veatch study has NOT been investigated as an option, an omission I urge you to remedy. Do not mar your track record.

We simply can't afford to wait: the risks to our world are just too great. Obama has just one year left to tackle this problem but the stranglehold of the people/corporations/lobbyists who would prevent us from defending ourselves from this threat make a political response impossible. It is the sworn duty of the President to defend America from enemies and climate deniers must be seen as being the (self-serving) enemy of the state that they really are. Declaring "war" generates enormous economic potential, so let's also kick-start our economy by gearing up solar manufacturing here, research and development for "good" (LFTR) nuclear and training our troops not to kill but to deploy solar panels everywhere. With this war we can: 1) Move our country and our partner countries quickly into a collective clean energy future; 2) Defeat the fossil fuel hegemony that will kill our planet for profit; 3) End the increase in carbon emissions and rapidly decrease global emissions to allow our climate to stabilize; 4) Rapidly de-fund Middle East terrorists who benefit from our need for oil and our revenues; 5) Build a military that has the skills that are needed in the clean energy work force of the future and 6) Fund the R&D necessary to expedite the technologies that enable us to further mitigate and adapt to the amount of climate change that is already under way.

The EPA's proposed rule to restore protections to waters of the United States would clarify and establish protections for OVER HALF of the country's rivers, streams, and wetlands. Clean water is critical to public health, recreation, and the economy!

Starbucks buys nearly 100 million gallons of milk each year -- most of it from cows raised in cruel conditions in factory-farms. These cows are fed chemically-treated alfalfa and GMO crops like soy and corn, which have been engineered to withstand huge doses of herbicides. And, most corn and soy seeds are pre-treated with bee-killing pesticides. But there is a better alternative. Demand that Starbucks serve organic milk!

Millions of Illinoisans spend their summers basking on Lake Michigan's shore and rely on it for drinking water. Yet the Lake continues to be treated like a personal sewer for the region’s largest polluters.

The ink from Jerry Brown's signature is barely dry, but some in the plastics industry are already threatening to repeal the new law that bans single-use plastic bags in California. This isn’t anything new. For eight long years, some in the industry have blocked the bills Environment California fought for and introduced at the local and state level. But we have prevailed, and today, 127 cities and towns—40% of the state—is living bag free. Our statewide bill has just become law. Instead of adapting to become a better steward of the environment, now some in the industry are saying they want to put the law on the ballot and repeal it. Together, we can keep them from overturning this monumental victory for keeping plastic out of the Pacific. But it’s going to take all of us weighing in.
