I am concerned about the amount of Styrofoam currently being used in the United States. Foam cups, to-go containers, and food trays are all being thrown away . It can take a million or more years for Styrofoam to decompose. Styrofoam is one of the most environmentally unfriendly products to use. On average, 73 billion mostly Styrofoam cups and plates are being thrown away every year in the USA. I propose that we require the food service industry to use alternatives that are made from renewable and sustainable plant based resources, use less energy and emit less CO2 during production, and offer ways to divert waste from our landfills.

To bring about knowledge of the blatant distruction of our POLLINATORS and how important it is we STOP big companies from destroying our future for profit.

I am starting this petition to help clean up our planet and avoid plastic bottle overuse.

I am suffering from Stage 5 kidney failure. No one has the right to poison our water when fluoride is a known neurotoxin which can cause ill health, brain damage, and kidney failure.

We are concerned about the world we will leave to our children and the way we are educating them.

We have a power plant in the city which is not being used to generate power for the city or surrounding area which seems to be a waste.

The US government currently provides annual subsides to carbon based industries in excess of $200 billion. This includes such industries as oil, natural gas, and coal. These industries are already very profitable and do not warrant this support. We propose these subsides instead be redirected to clean, renewable energy sources which will strengthen our energy independence and provide lasting jobs transforming our energy grid to use renewable energy sources.

As an organic grower, I appreciate the value of compost! And nobody likes the enormous "trash mountains" we have in Florida.

We cannot bury our heads in the sand. There is nothing clean or good about nuclear energy. We are left with a legacy of nuclear waste and horrific nuclear pollution. This is not something I want future generations to have to live with. It is not responsible to use energy that has the potential to be so dangerous and destructive as we clearly have seen with Chernobyl, Fukushima - how many examples do governments need before this madness is stopped. No matter how profitable nuclear power is to government, this means nothing if peoples, air, rain, and environment are at some point in the future polluted with radiation . The risks are too high and cannot be justified. Radioactive pollution can be a very dangerous thing because radiation mutates DNA, causing abnormal growth and possibly cancer, and this radiation remains in the atmosphere for years, slowly diminishing over time. Treatment of radiation waste cannot be done through degradation by chemical or biological processes. Additionally, many radioactive materials have very long half-times (time necessary for half of the material to degrade or transform into non-radioactive materials) and thus radiation waste may pose a risk for many years after it was produced.

Personal health issues and concern for the public. People visit here from all over the world. Let's try to clean our air to protect our lungs.

The dangerous particulate matter spewed into the air by leaf blowers contributes to and aggravates respiratory problems and pollution levels.

Mr. President, my name is Oren Kalman. I live in Israel and I am a teacher teaching coexistence amongst people and amongst the Fauna and Flora. The key to future generations is coexistence, in Israel and worldwide. Mr. President, you are a Nobel prize winner for peace. I ask you to stand against exploitation of the arctic. Save the Arctic from GazProm and Shell. A warm Shalom-Salaam-Peace from Israel!
