After an endangered species makes a good return, the shoreline should be open for the enjoyment and unique sense of peace obtained from communion with our nation's natural resources. In addition, revenue generated may create teen lifeguard/stewardship jobs and funding for other local efforts and community events. Thank you for your consideration.

Yes, I have been personally affected by CHEMTRAILS. So has EVERYONE ELSE in the United States. If one is a walking, talking, breathing, human being, one has been personally affected. THERE IS NO ESCAPE! This diabolical scheme requires millions or billions or trillions of dollars, and, as such, is probably funded by BIG WORLD BUSINESS and/or BIG WORLD GOVERNMENT. The chemtrails MUST be stopped, AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED NOW! Thank you.

Hawaii County's ineffective recycling programs are no excuse to burn valuable resources. Although the developer will pay the costs upfront, taxpayers will foot the bill over the long term; this money is better spent investing in a sustainable future that provides access to reclaimable materials as a means to create jobs. Although he is Native Hawaiian, the mayor approves siting this plant adjacent to a low-income Hawaiian community clustered around a beautiful oceanfront but surrounded by an airport , sewage treatment plant, unlined landfill and major port with heavy traffic as well as oil and gas storage facilities.

Climate change is real and is already causing harm. We are already seeing more extreme weather, and scientists predict we will continue to see more intense heat waves, more superstorms, and lower air quality from unchecked climate change. And who is harmed most from this extreme weather? Those least able to cope: communities of color, the poor, children, and the elderly. Communities of color are more vulnerable to heat related deaths and are also more likely to live near coal plants, contributing to higher asthma rates. It is time to fight back, and the Obama administration is doing just that. The EPA has taken a historic step and, for the first time ever, is proposing to limit carbon pollution from power plants, which emit 40% of U.S. carbon pollution. Power plants will be required to reduce their pollution by 30% by 2030. You can bet Big Coal will fight tooth and nail to stand in the way of a clean energy future. Congress itself is the last refuge for ignoring reality, with a whopping 160 climate science deniers who took nearly $60 million in dirty energy contributions. With the forces of the status quo rallying, we need to have the EPA’s back and stand up for bold action to control dangerous carbon pollution from power plants. Join me in standing behind EPA to stop polluters from emitting unlimited carbon pollution.

Please join our fight to STOP THE CHOP and help us restore a quieter and cleaner environment over New York Harbor and the Hudson River. All MoveOn.org members, please think twice before patronizing any helicopter tours anywhere in the world. There is no such thing as a quiet or pollution-free helicopter. Until there is, please help us ban them from our skies. To find out how you can help, please visit StoptheChopNYNJ.org.

History has shown that the potential exists for unplanned "incidents" to occur at or within Nuclear Power Plants. Fukushima, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl are just 3 examples of when the best intentions can go wrong. The results of such an unplanned "incident" can be catastrophic and long lasting. Given the proximity of Turkey Point to the major population centers of South Florida, it's close location to the unique and environmentally sensitive Everglades and it's coastal location potentially exposing it to the effects of rising sea levels, The Turkey Point Nuclear Power plant exposes the population and natural environment of South Florida to unintended, but nevertheless, extraordinary risk. Given the advent of viable and relatively benign alternative power generating technologies, I do not believe the benefits of Nuclear Power any longer outweigh the risks to the people and environment of South Florida. I respectfully request Florida Power and Light immediately withdraw its application to the NRC for these two new Nuclear Power Plants at Turkey Point and the associated High Voltage electrical distribution network planned to traverse South Florida. Please sign this Petition.

The Badger-Two Medicine is important to Montanans, locally and throughout the region, as a place to sustain cultural traditions, hunt, fish, hike and admire. Pristine and ancient, home to original flora and fauna, the Badger-Two Medicine is a treasure. There have been tremendous accomplishments achieved in the campaign to protect this landscape. But it is still vulnerable. Oil and gas developers, motorcycles and ATVs all threaten to scar “The Badger” permanently. By signing this petition, you are supporting the protection of the Badger-Two Medicine from extractive, industrial and motorized threats. As the community of caring people willing to stand together grows, so does the promise of protection for this culturally - and ecologically - irreplaceable wild land.

“A problem so serious that it threatens the achievements of modern medicine.” This quote comes straight from the World Health Organization, which just released the disturbing results of a worldwide survey of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Their findings were the latest in a string of increasingly dire warnings from the public health community: Because of overuse and misuse, the lifesaving antibiotics we depend on are rapidly losing their effectiveness against dangerous infections. We're now in danger of returning to an age when simple infections are potentially fatal. Our decision-makers need to hear from the public, and it needs to happen quickly. That’s why OSPIRG and our national federation have launched a campaign to stop the overuse of antibiotics where the problem is the worst -- on factory farms that mix antibiotics right into the feed of healthy animals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to stop the worst overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. Please join us in calling on the FDA to act now.

The fossil fuel industry is rising up against the strongest limits ever proposed to end the worst climate change polluter: dirty coal plants. But, the industry doesn’t have the public’s support. We do. Dirty power plants are the single largest source of carbon pollution that is driving climate change. Right now, these plants are dumping as much carbon as they want into the atmosphere, and we and our children are stuck with the costs. It's time to adopt common sense limits on carbon pollution from power plants. Tell the EPA you support these limits on carbon pollution and to make them as strong as possible. The polluters and their allies will be doing everything they can to stop it. So let’s give this everything we can.

I am concerned about the potential for ground water contamination and the undisclosed possible effect of the toxic chemicals used in fracking.

like so many issues of health and wellness, this one primarily affects the very young and very old - those whose physical constitutions [their bodies] are not yet fully formed or already beginning to decline. that said, in the same way we all need clean air and water - we all need clean foods.

For years, Navy sonar has been killing whales and dolphins on coastlines around the world, including the United States, the Bahamas, the Canary Islands, and Greece. Now it’s happened again! In April, beaked whales mass-stranded and died during U.S. Navy joint exercise offshore of Crete – the 4th time that sonar trainings have caused catastrophic strandings in these same waters. The killing must stop! A year and a half ago, more than half a million of us joined our voices in protest by signing a petition to deny the Navy permits for expanded sonar and explosives exercises in whale habitats off U.S. coastlines. The U.S. Fisheries department rubber-stamped the Navy’s request and issued the permits anyway. Now it time for us to go directly to the top of the command chain and demand that the President invoke his constitutional powers to stop this senseless slaughter. Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives the President, as Commander-in-Chief, direct command over the army and the navy, as well as responsibility for "taking care that the laws are faithfully executed." With a stroke of his pen, by Executive Order, the President can direct his Secretary of the Navy to cease all sonar training in whale habitats. And he can direct the head of National Marine Fisheries Service, the federal agency charged with enforcing the laws intended to protect whales, to revoke the Navy’s permits to conduct sonar trainings until it puts real safety measures in place. The Navy has reluctantly agreed to conduct comprehensive Environmental Impact Statements on all its U.S. coastal ranges – but not on foreign ranges where it trains. That’s why tragedies like the mass stranding in Crete are doomed to be repeated – unless you and I take action and convince the President to end the U.S. Navy's war on whales and dolphins, once and for all! I promise to print out every petition and personally deliver them to the White House. For more information, please visit our website at http://whaleanddolphinwatch.org/
