Lets protect Olathe's nature! Every day, as I drive to work, I notice less and less trees left. I see a new development growing up on the same place where there used to be trees. With every natural habitat that disappears, we destroy not only trees, but animals, insects and reptiles. We should stop destroying nature just for the convenience of a new housing development or strip mall. This petition is against destroying Olathe forest.

We enjoy the openness of our harbor. Please do not build a fishing pier off Stacy Boulevard. It is our opinion that this is not a sensible place to have a fishing pier -- as climate change and storm surges would make it a very risky spot. Many of us feel that a pier in this location would be a stain on the beauty of the outer harbor, the location of schooner races, many paintings and photographs by talented artists and photos from our own visitors who cherish Gloucester for what it is now: historic and not "built up" in the name of "progress." Noise on the boulevard is sometimes a problem late at night in the summertime. A pier would bring in more people who will be up all night fishing. Also, parking and the added traffic congestion during busy summer months when both vehicles and vessels are competing for bridge access would be made much worse in that location. Please don't ruin what has been a peaceful retreat for residents and an attraction to tourists for hundreds of years. Please vote no on this proposal.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) thinks he's ready to be President of the United States, and he thinks global warming is a hoax. Florida Power & Light wants to build a "clean energy tomorrow for future generations," but is one of Rubio's biggest campaign contributors. To be a clean-energy company, FPL needs to stop supplying Rubio with dirty money. "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it," Rubio told ABC News on Mother's Day 2014. "I don’t agree with the notion that some are putting out there, including scientists, that somehow there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what’s happening in our climate. Our climate is always changing. And what they have chosen to do is take a handful of decades of research and say that this is now evidence of a longer-term trend that’s directly and almost solely attributable to manmade activity, I do not agree with that." Florida Power & Light is the largest electric utility in Florida. In 2007, FPL's parent company, NextEra Energy, Inc. signed the Joint Statement by the Global Roundtable on Climate Change, which begins: "Climate change is an urgent problem requiring global action to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases." Under the leadership of CEO James L. Robo, NextEra Energy's PAC and employees have contributed $79,490 to Rubio in campaign donations, even more than Koch Industries has given. Robo himself has given at least $6900 to Sen. Rubio's campaign coffers. Given that Rubio rejects NextEra Energy's basic understanding of the danger carbon pollution poses to Florida, the nation, and the world, it's time for Mr. Robo's company to live by their stated values and stop contributing to Rubio.

This is our neighborhood. We are greatly impacted by the constant traffic of heavy equipment. It's noisy, stinky, and often very fast though this family neighborhood. The City Yard facilities are run-down and outdated, and a bond to move the City Yard has already been approved by the voters. We would just like to see it replaced with something amazing rather than high-density tract housing.

There is an excessive and unnecessary waste of energy, materials for electrical systems, and money by leaving unoccupied buildings illuminated at night. "Lights Out" would lead to a major reduction in greenhouse gasses and massive savings in operating expenditures. Much like we are renovating older governmental facilities to be more energy efficient through advanced HVAC systems and insulation, this would have an immediate impact with no cost, just savings.

I deeply care about biodiversity, along with many other Americans. The short-minded use of palm oil is contributing to the extinction of many species and habitats. The maps that show the historic range of the rainforest, compared to today, serve as a huge visual cry for help.

If we care about our kid’s future, we can no longer buy products that harm our planet. ConAgra Foods, one of the biggest companies in Omaha, NE and the owner of famous brands like Marie Callender’s and Chef Boyardee, uses Conflict Palm Oil in its products. Much of that palm oil drives mass deforestation in Indonesia. ConAgra could easily help protect people and rainforests if it adopted a policy to buy responsible palm oil instead of Conflict Palm Oil. The damage caused by Conflict Palm Oil is tremendous. Deforestation to make way for palm oil plantations threatens unique and priceless ecosystems. It threatens species like the Sumatran tiger and orangutans. The impact on communities who are forced off their land or pushed into forced and child labor is simply unacceptable. The destruction of forests is also releasing carbon into the atmosphere and driving climate change. Other companies are already dropping Conflict Palm Oil from their products. It’s time ConAgra Foods did the same. Would you help us put some pressure on ConAgra Foods by signing this petition? We’ll make sure it’s a message they can’t ignore.

If we care about our kid’s future, we can no longer buy products that harm our planet. That’s why I’m ashamed to say that my neighbor PepsiCo, one of the biggest companies in Westchester, NY, is also one of the biggest buyers of palm oil in the world. Much of that palm oil drives mass deforestation in Indonesia. PepsiCo could easily help protect people and rainforests if it adopted a policy to buy responsible palm oil instead of Conflict Palm Oil.

This petition is about saving God's treasures on this Earth. I have been there and I dove into this bay and can testify how beautiful all of this reef can be, with the schools of colorful juveniles and huge schools of jacks, grunts and barracuda. Proposed development will only destroy the reason people will want to go there: to enjoy the pristine beauty unique to the Sea of Cortez.

Stanford University is divesting its $18.7 billion endowment of stock in coal-mining companies, becoming the first major university to lend support to a nationwide campaign to purge endowments and pension funds of fossil fuel investments.

Bee populations are plummeting! Yet the Environmental Protection Agency recently sided with Dow AgroSciences to approve a new, highly toxic bee-killing pesticide called sulfoxaflor. And now the EPA is considering expanding the number of crops this pesticide can be sprayed on to include corn, alfalfa, oats, and several other significant and widely grown crops. Will you help us fight back? Tell the EPA to deny Dow AgroScience’s application to expand the registration of the bee-killing pesticide sulfoxaflor now. Nearly one-third of our crops—including many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds—depend on bees for pollination. But bees in our country are dying at unprecedented rates, and scientists are pointing to pesticides like sulfoxaflor as a cause. A world without bees is unimaginable. Earthjustice is doing everything we can to fight back, using the law and the power of the courts. But we need your help to stop this latest proposal. Help us ensure that sulfoxaflor does not become the final straw for bees. Take action now to save bees!
