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.

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.
