It's time for the campaign to restore Shepherd Parkway to enter its next faze.

Killing whales, dolphins, sea turtles and fish in the name of some day possibly finding a trickle of oil is not acceptable to anyone who loves the sea. Tell Obama to stop the madness now - BIG OIL is not in charge of OUR planet!

It is becoming clear that FERC is an unelected and unaccountable agency, and the "public participation" in the permit proceedings are a sham. I am an intervenor in this project who lives in an area which would suffer large-scale regional impacts should this get built, against the wishes of the majority of people here. I have many friends and family who live in the gasfields of PA who have already suffered grave impacts, and development there would increase dramatically to supply this pipeline.

We must elect honest politicians who genuinely care about the health of our planet and us.

By investing $500 million in tax abatements for clean energy projects, Nevada has attracted $5.5 billion of capital. These investments provide a 10 to 1 return, providing Nevada with jobs and a long-term competitive advantage among Western states. Fortune 500 companies have also demonstrated strong returns from clean energy investments and are collectively saving $1.1 billion dollars a year and reducing CO2 emissions by 58.3 million metric tons, which is similar to retiring about 15 coal power plants. By developing and implementing our own plan to reduce carbon emissions, Nevada will harness more of our own natural energy resources, including improved efficiency and increased geothermal, solar and wind development. This will allow us to keep more of our money in Nevada by decreasing our dependency on out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations while increasing our ability to export clean, renewable energy.

Net metering is an important policy that encourages distributed generation systems, such as roof-top solar, by allowing individuals and businesses to plug into Nevada’s grid system and receive credits toward their bills for the energy their systems generate. By supporting distributed generation, Nevada will continue private investments into the clean energy economy, harness our own natural resources and keep more of our money in state by decreasing our purchase of out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations.

A nuclear meltdown took place in 1959 in our neighborhood at theSanta Susana Field Lab, SSFL (GOOGLE IT!) owned by Boeing, NASA, AND DOE. In 2010 these companies signed an agreement with the State of California and DTSC to fully cleanup their TOXIC WASTE SITE. Four years later they have a plan to use Woolsey Canyon Road, WHERE WE LIVE , as the route to transport trucks loaded with toxic waste, covered only by a plastic tarp, EVERY 6-10 MINUTES, SIX DAYS A WEEK FOR FOR 3-5 YEARS thru WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND LOS ANGELES areas via the major freeways. WE WANT TO URGE YOU TO HELP US REQUEST THAT OTHER POTENTIAL ROADS BE EXAMINED FOR INSTANCE FIRE ROADS LEADING TO RAIL SPURS, THUS AVOIDING PASSING THRU MAJOR POPULATION AREAS. Please help us and our families by SIGNING THIS PETITION and adding this petition to your facebook and twitter and ask your friends to post this to their facebook and twitter accounts.

Hofmann Forest has been owned for the benefit of NC State University for 80 years, ever since "Doc" Hofmann purchased the tract for his newly founded School of Forestry. Now, however, the leaders of NCSU are trying to sell this huge coastal forest for $150 million, so they can invest the proceeds in Wall Street instead. And the buyer they've chosen prepared detailed plans to bulldoze 45,000 acres of the forest into cropfields (to grow corn which would feed corporate hogs) and another 9000 acres into golf courses and strip malls. This would be disastrous for wildlife, water quality (3 rivers flow out of Hofmann Forest), and the reputation of NC State University.

The Santolina Master Plan is a massive 13,700 acre development that is being proposed to be built on the West Mesa. At build-out, it will have over 37,000 housing units with a population of over 95,000. There are many factors that should concern us regarding the Santolina Master Plan: • The hefty price tag that taxpayers will have to cover (schools and roads alone are already estimated at over $1 billion!) • It proposes an exorbitant level of water use - over 19 million gallons of water per day - these amounts of water required to support the Santolina Master Plan are concerning and are simply not viable in our times of drought • It would increase aquifer depletion in the Rio Grande Basin • It poses a subsequent de-watering of wells in both the North and South Valleys • The “retirement” or transfer of acequia Pre-1907 water rights from irrigated lands in the Middle Rio Grande Administrative Area (MRGA) to satisfy the conditions of approval for the ABCWUA ground water permit RG-960, thus if the Santolina Master Plan is approved, it is likely that Acequias who have ‘vested’ pre-1907 water rights would be threatened. • It would be built on a highly erodible area of large sand dunes • Bottom line, the Santolina Master Plan poses a threat to the cultural, historic and natural tapestry of our Acequias and our precious green belt along the Rio Grande. The Santolina Master Plan WILL negatively impact the well being and livelihood of our city and our communities.

We are a group of concerned citizens in Grays Harbor. This issue affects everybody who lives within the 1/2 mile "blast zone" and endangers our marine fisheries & environment.

The University is no longer a steward to the environment after knowingly selling imperiled rockland to a developer who plans a bigbox/strip mall complex. The signers of this petition ask that the University of Miami remove from its website and marketing any self-identification as a steward of the environment.
