Nuclear power is inherently risky, as evidenced by the 2011 triple meltdowns in Japan. The waste storage dilemma has not been solved. New small modular designs tout themselves as "self-contained" but will produce nuclear waste that needs storage for thousands of years, making them anything but self-contained. The exorbitant cost of nuclear was painfully shown in the WPPSS bond defaults, which we are still paying for.

Single use plastic bags are commonly used for a short time yet carry long term environmental and economic impacts. They are a temporary product made from nonrenewable petroleum, yet take an estimated 1000 years to decompose. We hope Athens can be a frontrunner of environmental and economic sustainability through the joint efforts of legislators, businesses, and citizens to help reduce this unnecessary product: the single use plastic bag.

The People of the Town of LaPointe and Madeline Island deserve a healthy quality of food. GMO seeds have been touted as a solution to production and overall yield and yet, the companies that are promoting this view have conducted no health studies and can offer no data as to the long term effect of GMO products on the human body or the surrounding environment. However, private studies conducted by individuals in academic research have shown conclusively that GMO products have an adverse effect on the natural biological function of both the human body and the natural environment. We the undersigned are not willing to sacrifice health and security over privatization of the public seed domain. Our ancestors survived without the use of GMO seeds; We The People resolve to do the same.

SJRWMD has doubled the consumptive water usage for Niagara Bottling Company in Groveland, Florida (from 484,000 to 910,000 gallons per day) Central Florida is growing faster than its water supply and the Floridan Aquifer will not be able to sustain our needs over the next decade. Please sign this petition to cancel Saint Johns River Water Management District's 20 year permit to allow Niagara Bottling Company to pump 910,000 gallons of water per day from the Floridan Aquifer

Chronic exposure to lawn chemicals poses severe health risks to residents and unknown side effects to the environment.

Trader Joe's is a leader in the revolution towards healthier, more consciously produced foods, and they have become a major force in the food industry now with over 400 unique markets nationwide. We applaud their policies of only featuring meat and dairy products from animals that are not fed growth hormones or antibiotics. It's time for Trader Joe's to take a strong stand against GMO's. We suggest they no longer carry any products containing GMO's. This includes their fruit and vegetables and also the food that is fed the animals whose meat or dairy products they feature, and even the ingredients in their pet foods. Thank you Trader Joe's for going as far as you have gone. Time for the next step!

JUNE 11: FINAL HEARING TO DECIDE THE FATE OF LA BAJADA MESA The Board of County Commissioners will hold a special hearing at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, June 11 at the Santa Fe Convention Center, 201 W. Marcy St., Santa Fe. PLEASE ATTEND THIS HEARING - IT IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO SPEAK OUT TO SAVE THE MESA. Add your name to this petition urging the County to deny this application and share the petition with your friends. -------------------------------------------- Help us stop a proposal to allow a gravel strip mine on top of La Bajada Mesa, south of Santa Fe along I-25. This stunning and historically important landmark will be desecrated by this strip mine, and use scarce, County-provided, potable water. Moreover, granting this proposal will establish a precedent for future expansion of this new mining zone to adjacent parts of the Mesa, further extending the destructive impact, All this for gravel!

Bakken shale oil has proven to be volatile, explosive, and toxic. There have been 7 accidents in the past 9 months, with the Philadelphia derailment being the only one not to result in a fireball and released volatile compounds like the carcinogenic Benzene into the air. In Lac Mégantic, Canada 47 people died and 15 acres of downtown burned. In Casselton, ND on December 30, 2013 everyone in 5 mile radius had to be evacuated. The only difference between the other 6 accidents and the one in Philadelphia was the use of a DOT-101 train. Had the faulty and inadequate DOT-111 trains been used, we would likely still be dealing with the aftereffects. The Department of Transportation has agreed to slow down the trains by 10 mph and look into track safety; however, more investigation is needed into the root cause of the derailments. We need to be clear whether the fault is with infrastructure or cargo before putting forth solutions. What would an accident look like for Philadelphia, where the train line runs right through the heart of the city, passing schools, hospitals, homes, parks, on a path adjacent to our vital water supply? The lives of Philadelphia's residents need to be put first. We had a near miss disaster during the early morning hours on MLK Day that could have shaken the nation. This complete disregard for the lives of Philadelphians needs to end, and the Bakken Shale oil and gas transport by rail needs to be stopped.

It's a proven fact that Fracking pollutes underground water supplies, Nevada's prime source of drinking water.

One in six West Virginians were affected by the Freedom Industry Chemical spill and Governor Tomblin has failed the citizens of West Virginia by cow towing to the extraction industries once again.
