America's young have no idea about an issue that will affect them over their entire lives.

I just started this petition to continue Greenpeace's excellent work.

Many people are appalled at the proliferation of hydraulic fracturing wells across the country. Although some people are not particularly concerned about what goes on in other localities, no people, including oil company executives, want fracking in their own neighborhood. Taking that fact of human nature into account and, as current Louisiana state law makes it a matter between the company seeking the rights to extraction and the property owner of the drill site, the best hope to stop the dangerous practice of hydraulic fracturing is on the parish level. People who would not even consider themselves "environmentalists" don't want their property values lowered and are offended by materials being extracted from underneath their property through wells drilled on neighboring properties. Meanwhile, serious environmental concerns over fracking are quite numerous. A Duke University study found unacceptable levels of radio-activity in streams after fracking had occurred. http://www.businessinsider.com/fracking-leaving-radioactive-pollution-in-pa-2013-10 Another Duke University study published in the prestigious, peer-reviewed, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found methane and other fracking materials in well water within a kilometer of frack drilling sites. http://nicholas.duke.edu/cgc/pnas2011.pdf At a recent meeting at the St. Tammany Community Center, when asked if he could guarantee that there would be no spillage of contaminants or environmental damage, a representative of the drilling company answered that, "There are no guarantees." That makes it official then that the proposed extraction process is an EXPERIMENT, an experiment on our lives, health, and water supply and on the lives health and water supply of future generations. Another gentleman from the team of frackers who showed up to face hundreds of angry citizens from across the political spectrum tried to reassure the crowd that, where contamination occurs, it moves very slowly because it's the nature of ground water to move very slowly as opposed to surface water. The operative word in that statement is "move". If there are people living in St. Tammany Parish 500 years from now condemning our stupidity for ruining their aquifer, they are not going to be very much impressed with this notion that ground water contaminants move slowly. 61 townships in New York and the nation of France count themselves amongst the growing number of localities who have banned the dangerous practice of hydraulic fracturing. If the majority of citizens of St. Tammany Parish can't stop a few land owners and a powerful corporation from endangering one of the best aquifers in the country then our democracy is long gone.

Antibiotics are a miracle of modern medicine, and are designed to be given in precise doses, to treat specific illnesses and infections. However, 80% of antibiotics are used on farms, and the bulk of that on healthy animals, administered through the animals’ feed. It’s done to promote growth and prevent illness, allowing animals to be kept in confined spaces that fall short on cleanliness. The World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, and other leading medical groups all warn that the routine use of antibiotics in food animals presents a serious and growing threat to human health. The FDA has the authority to stop this misuse of antibiotics on factory farms to protect our health.

People nationwide, and especially people in Virginia want to know if their produce has been sprayed with potentially deadly pesticides. I have an autistic son who is sensitive to pesticides and other toxins. The Virginia consumer has a right to know if their produce has been adulterated by pesticides. It is something parents demand.

Childhood diseases including brain cancers, leukemia, and learning and behavioral disorders are on the rise in the U.S. Babies are born with, on average, over 200 toxic chemicals already in their blood! Science increasingly links exposure to toxic chemicals in products with these diseases. SB 126 will provide valuable information to CT citizens and to lawmakers to protect kids!

All residents of BernardsTownship will be adversely affected if the Township Committee allows more fill to be dumped at the quarry. The World Health Organization declared in June 2012 that diesel exhaust fumes are a human carcinogen more dangerous than secondhand smoke. Aside from that irrefutable evidence, the trucks themselves pose a danger to the safety and welfare of residents. Passing the resolution will allow 1 truck every minute, 10 hrs. a day, 6 days a week.

Coal-powered electricity-generating plants are the biggest contributors of CO2 emissions. We have already exceeded the tipping point with CO2 emissions, and we cannot allow corporations to continue to pollute our air with fossil fuels.

We applaud the producers of Years of Living Dangerously for tackling the climate crisis head-on, and we hope the show gets the massive viewership it deserves. But it turns out that Arnold Schwarzenegger, a producer and star of the show, is part-owner and a major client of Dimensional Fund Advisors, a money manager with nearly a billion dollars in logging and palm oil companies -- the very same ones that are burning and bulldozing the orangutan-populated forests of Southeast Asia. Take action to tell Schwarzenegger to terminate his ties with deforestation.

Antibiotics are meant to be prescribed by medical professionals, in controlled doses. But right now, eighty percent of antibiotics are used on farms, and the bulk of that on healthy animals, administered through the animals’ feed. It’s done to promote growth and prevent illness, allowing animals to be kept in confined spaces that fall short on cleanliness. This overuse and misuse of antibiotics contributes to the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, making it harder and harder to treat infections and save lives. Every year, 23,000 people die from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Public Health Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America and other leading medical groups all warn that the routine use of antibiotics in food animals presents a serious and growing threat to human health. President Obama’s administration can take action to ban the overuse and misuse of antibiotics on factory farms. But to convince them to act, we need to raise the voices of medical professionals all across the country.

Our petition is about the use of pesticide that are fatal to bees. We are starting this petition due to the loss of bees since World War II. We have not been personally affected by this issue, but we realize how much damage this can cause to the U.S .

We all share one global climate -- but David Cameron has suggested banning all new onshore wind power in the U.K.! Solar and offshore wind are important, but more is needed.
