Front Runner on Sunday!In the interest of serving the citizens and protecting our airshed, it is reasonable to demand Sunday service for those people who have the need to commute from one city to another.

Prioritize Clean Air!I have lived in Utah most of my life. I suffer from asthma and migraines during the winter inversion months. My oldest child is on the autism spectrum, which scientists at Harvard linked to air pollution. I am currently expecting my third child and worried about the air quality's effect on my unborn baby. I don't allow my children to play outside on "yellow" or "red" inversion days. Our family does all it can to not contribute to the problem- carpooling, no idling, reducing energy consumption- but we need a large scale, valley-wide effort to make a difference in our community. We need action now!17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Thornton

American Water Needs to Have Backup Water for Its CustomersOn January 9, 2014, in Charleston, West Virginia, a chemical spilled into American Water's water supply for 300,000 people, making it unusable for anything but flushing toilets. Unfortunately, there was no other source of water available, so American Water customers were without clean water for weeks and the contaminated water spread throughout the system. Me and my four children along with other extended family and countless friends were directly effected by this tragedy.239 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jeni Pettigrew Burns

More Protected Green Ways in Berks Co. PACitizens should have a direct say in how much of their twp. or county they want developed. Politicians are easily swayed by contractors/developers to destroy what remains of our natural environment. This, in the end, with pollution, water run-off, loss of resources, loss of habitat, will come back to effect humans and all life negatively. Greed cannot have the day. I've asked other citizens for 40 years if they thought Berks County should become this developed, and they answered, no, but didn't know what to do about it. It's actually a crime against life.110 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Judith Gabriel

Take action: Stop Chevron's attacks against the people it poisoned!For three decades, Texaco, now part of Chevron, dumped 18 billion gallons of toxic oil waste into the beautiful Ecuadorian Amazon. Servio Curipoma's family and thousands like it were left suffering a plague of deadly cancers and devastating birth defects. Now, Chevron is using our legal system to sue the people who speak out against it.891 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Allison

SOLARIZE ALL SANTA FE COUNTY FIRESTATIONS WITH DISCRETIONARY CAPITAL OUTLAY FUNDSOur hugely successful solar installation at the Tesuque Fire Station slashed the fire station's monthly utility bill from $115 to $8.65 and effectively diverted savings to the purchase of safety equipment and resources for the station. Now the County wants to bring the benefits of solar energy to all of its fire stations. Santa Fe County can set an example for the rest of the state. Legislators in Bernalillo and Dona Ana counties have already expressed interest in expanding the effort to their communities next year.692 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Bianca Sopoci-Belknap
