The destruction of Holy Jim Dams is being included in the steelhead trout recovery plan. All studies show these old dams have no impact. Removing the dams won't make a difference. After over 70 years of dams...the area is completely in sync with them. This movement to keep the dams was created by a Forest Superviser of the Cleveland National Forest. The conservationists want it returned to its original state, just because!!! The Sierra Club does some good work but also some less than desireable work too. I vividly remember running upstream, leaping from rock to rock with the pure joy of nature. The dams have become a beautiful part of nature as have the rock walls in Hawaii. Let the next generation and every generation after them enjoy this sacred place of nature in the midst of this concrete world.

Drilling is set to begin around Mandeville but will potentially extend across the state along the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Ridge. The toxic chemicals that fracking releases into the ground water, water reservoirs, and the air surrounding the fracking site contaminate the environment and increase the risks of illness, infertility, birth defects, and cancer. In a state so dependent on the natural landscape and the water for food, transportation, commerce, recreation, and tourism, it proves nonsensical to support practices that endanger those activities and the people who depend upon them. This state has a beautiful ecosystem and a proud heritage of people who live with the land. The proposed site sits in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Ridge, and successful drilling would lead to further drill sites throughout the Ridge, further contaminating the ecosystem of the state. Fracking is bad for the people, the ecosystem, and the economy. In short, fracking is destructive to the traditions and lifeways that make us proud to call Louisiana home.

Europe 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.

A quarter of everything we eat, from apples to watermelon, depends on bee pollination. But toxic pesticides, known as neonicotinoids, have been linked to the mass die-off of bees and other pollinators. This is a threat to our food supply and local businesses.

We are creating this petition to ban plastic bottles in Mount Shasta, California. Plastic bottles are just horrible for everyone and everything. By eliminating plastic bottles in schools, offices and public areas in Mount Shasta, we can do our part in eliminating unneeded waste in landfills, littering in our National Parks and reduce greenhouse gasses. This petition will also serve as a response from the residents of Mount Shasta to reflect our feelings about a environmentally risky project is taking place in Mount Shasta conducted by Crystal Geyser in 2015, and due to their lack of a "Through Environmental Review". The newly announced Crystal Geyser Plant could produce chemicals that could potentially runoff could overwhelm the wastewater treatment plant.

As a UL student and Cardinal fan it is embarassing that our school's athletics department sends so many recyclables to the landfill.

Create awareness surrounding the effects this extreme fossil fuel extraction is having on agricultural land. Quality food can not be produced when VOC's like benzene, toluene, known carcinogens, neurotoxins, the very agents used to kill soldiers on the battle field and endocrine disruptors are vented off into the atmosphere and deposited on the nearby soil. Radioactive agents have been found in frack waste. Irradiating food for human consumption is ludicrous!Now lets talk about the water...

I am starting this petition to ask for support to defeat H.B. 7859, a proposed change in the law that protects otters from hunting and trapping.
