The biotech industries are about to approve stronger toxic chemicals to be sprayed on our food. The USDA and FDA are only working for the sake of corporations and not doing anything for "we the people". This insanity has got to stop!

To stop the behind-door handshaking; to claim back our natural beauty. It's high time the DEP, the EPA, and the City and County work together and clean this up instead of hide from the problem. When I say there are problems--there are problems. Who monitors their own emissions??? Well, Argos does and the city of Newberry let them after offering them 7 years tax-free - with the promise of annexing in Argos (or who ever owns this factory at the time). Money Money Money. I am worth more than money, as well as is all of us. I'm starting this petition because I have been its victim. I have been diagnosed with COPD, which is a slow, deadly pulmonary disease caused by toxic smoke; the toxic smoke they let out every morning before light in order to keep those kilns cranking.

The impacts of air gun blasting include temporary and permanent hearing loss, abandonment of habitat, disruption of mating and feeding, and even beach strandings and death. For whales and dolphins, which rely on their hearing to find food, communicate, and reproduce, being able to hear is a life or death matter. The most immediate concern is attempting to stop what is essentially the massacre of dolphins, whales and other marine life that will occur because of these blasts.

The President currently "talks a good game", and his administrative actions have been fine, but now, HE NEEDS TO CHEER LEAD AND EDUCATE FULL-TIME. With his leadership, Americans will follow -- and with America's leadership, the world will follow. Our children and theirs deserve a liveible planet as our and Barack Obama's legacy!

The Monarch butterfly is nearly extinct. The main cause is pesticides like Monsanto's Roundup.

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.
