Florida: Tell the EPA to ban bee-killing pesticidesEurope has already fought back against powerful chemical companies and took a big step to protect bees by putting into effect a ban of the top bee-killing “neonic” pesticides. Now it’s our turn! Join Friends of the Earth and our allies in demanding that the EPA take immediate action to protect bees! Bees are critical in producing the majority of our food crops and the evidence is mounting that Bayer and Syngenta’s pesticides are a key contributor to mass bee die-offs. However, the EPA continues to ignore scientists -- even those employed by the EPA -- and has delayed action until 2018. But the bees can’t wait -- and neither can we! U.S. beekeepers have been consistently losing 40-100 percent of their hives. This winter, beekeepers are likely facing yet another season of historic bee die offs. We can’t let the EPA wait another five years to address this crisis. Please take action today and tell the EPA to ban bee-killing pesticides.227 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Peter Stocker

Face it, Jerry Brown: Fracking Hurts Californians. Come see for yourself.Governor Jerry Brown thinks fracking has zero impact on Californians, but we know a few towns in the Central Valley that beg to differ. Kern County is California's most-fracked county. It also has the worst air quality in the nation, and highly elevated rates of cancer and respiratory illness. Although the oil industry has been in Kern for decades, fracking has opened up new opportunities for expansion. For residents of towns like Shafter and Wasco, fracking means more oil extraction and more impacts on their health. Kern County residents are fighting back: they've invited Governor Brown to come see the impacts of fracking for himself. California is at a crossroads, and Governor Brown has a choice to make: go all-in on extreme energy, or finally say "enough is enough." We're calling on him to end fracking in California, but we don't want him to just hear it from us. We're urging the Governor to take Kern County residents up on their invitation.158 of 200 SignaturesCreated by 350.org

The John Boehner National SeashoreJohn Boehner is the most powerful Republican and the GOP is stonewalling efforts to slow human-caused climate change. I fear that the US government will not act until it is too late to reverse climate change and that climate change could be catastrophic.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cam Amos

Don't Spray Me!Out in the country of NC many live within a stones throw of a field of genetically modified crops that are sprayed with toxic chemicals regularly. I can understand some applications to an extent however a helicopter flew around my property spraying who knows what for 30 minutes killing all kinds of organisms both in their crops and on my poor little chemical free sanctuary, never mind myself and my pets.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lyndsey Lawson

Do not lift the Ban on the export of crude oil from the US.Conservation work in the US and across the globe will never make an impact on Global warming until the amount of fossil fuel being produced by the gas oil and coal industries is reduced. The U.S. should be reducing the supply of these resources.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Goodrich

Rixi Cruz: Help The Panda NationI'm starting this petition because I love Pandas and I am an animal person. I feel like we should take care of these beautiful pandas because if we don't, it will effect the animal kingdom as the result of pandas becoming extinct. In China they are killing pandas for their fur, and that's the reason why animals with fur like pandas are becoming more and more extinct.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by rixi cruz
