Stop nuclear power station development in GloucestershireWe 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.65 of 100 Signatures

STOP Sacramento Apartments from over watering this summer!I've watched enough water wasted on trying to make apartments aesthetically charming, but other ground cover that is more natural to our drought state should be used instead. There should be a limit to the amount of water used by apartment sprinkler systems - SPECIFICALLY sprinklers. They are rammed into by cars, not repaired, and not maintained well enough. Private water use is high enough. A tax incentive of a few dollars would stop this water waste easily.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alyissa Chenoweth

CEMEX Park Spells Fire Danger in Santa Cruz MountainsPreventing commercial development of the CEMEX area is a commendable idea. However, opening the area to human activity such as camping, hiking, biking, picnicking, and horseback riding would negatively impact all Bonny Doon residents by greatly increasing the ever present danger of devastating forest fires.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenda

Save Water for Human UseWater is a decreasing resource in New Mexico and we should not waste water on green lawns for large-scale properties. Xeriscapes are beautiful and should be encouraged for commercial buildings. Imagine not being able to deliver water to residences; it could happen if we don't think ahead.47 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sylvia Anderson

Alternative Energy at HanfordNuclear facilities run by our government are dangerous and outdated. Sustainable alternative energy is safer, cleaner, and supported by many people in the state. I've written legislative representatives, several US Presidents and Governors of our state explaining Hanford's background and availability in choosing this option. Hanford is costing our state billions to monitor. It was initially built on Native American Land. Converting Hanford is the only sane option which would insure a safe and secure future.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Herbert
