Our communities are the toilet for the turbid water releasing for NYC. We must preserve our rights to clean water too! NYC has plenty of money to use another alternative than the cheapest one which is to use our Esopus Creek for their toilet bowl.

Hello, After the huge Typhoon hit the Phillipines, we now know it is due in part to the burning of methane at every frack well, when it is now a fact that the Bakken Shale methane flaring can be seen from outer space. This dangerous process of harvesting natural gas needs stopped NOW.

If this project is allowed to go forward we will be left with undrinkable water for our children and grandchildren, unwillingly contributing to the ongoing angst of our northern neighbors in Inyo and ultimately left reeling, like everyone is left to do when they’ve been ravaged by any project of this kind.

In the U.S., devastating storms are called “natural disasters.” In the Philippines, it’s just called “weather.” I learned from my mom and dad about the remarkable resilience of Filipino people that keeps them calm in the face of disaster. The Philippines is a republic made of more than 7,000 islands sitting on the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it prone to both earthquakes and typhoons. In the Philippines, folks just learn how to cope, say a little "bahala na," and work together to rebuild. It takes a lot to faze Filipinos when it comes to weather. But now, in the wake of Super Typhoon Haiyan, I fear my people are fazed. What happened to the Philippines four days ago isn’t just frightening -- it’s a clear sign that climate change is real. The climate CHANGED, and Haiyan is proof. We must not simply “feel” for the Filipino people, but we must also “do.” Please support Saño’s hunger strike and demand action from UN Climate Change Conference delegates. As folks living outside of the Philippines, this our chance to to keep the flame of resilience alive -- for Filipinos, all people, and our very fragile planet.

Horrific and historic natural disasters are becoming the new norm. Drought, floods, and fires rage. We need to be building an all-encompassing renewable energy infrastructure dealing with anything that emits a greenhouse gas including boilers, vehicles, whatever you can think of. The EPA's and President Obama's current plan to slightly curb emissions from power plants is not nearly good enough. George Carlin once intimated that the planet was just fine before humans were here and that it would almost certainly be just fine after humans are gone. At this crucial point it is not just about saving this planet, it's about saving the inhabitants of this planet. (That's us. All of us.)

The Kentucky Student Environmental Coalition wants to build a thriving green economy in Kentucky to provide jobs and a bright future for the state. Through the creation of renewable energy and energy efficiency jobs, Kentucky can continue to be an energy producing state while transitioning to a clean and healthy economy.

The fate of Ten Mile Creek in upper Montgomery County, MD is of utmost concern to 4.3 million people in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. This creek feeds our backup water supply and is in imminent danger of being seriously polluted. John Muir said, "Nothing dollarable is safe," and that is certainly true of the Ten Mile Creek. Several developers want to build a huge number of homes and businesses (such as outlet malls) in this watershed. The science - see the reports on the Save Ten Mile Creek Coalition web site (www.savetenmilecreek.com) - says that ANY development in the Ten Mile Creek watershed will pollute Little Seneca Reservoir. The Ten Mile Creek watershed feeds the Little Seneca Reservoir which is the emergency water supply for 4.3 million residents in the Washington, D.C. area. Following are the water authorities and people served by this reservoir: -Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) serves about 1.8 million people in Montgomery County and Prince George's County. -Washington Aqueduct serves about 1 million people in Washington, D.C., Arlington County, the city of Falls Church, and part of Fairfax County (particularly McLean). -Fairfax County Water Authority (FCWA) serves about 1.5 million people in Fairfax County, Alexandria, Prince William County, and Loudoun County. A public hearing will be held on Dec. 3, 2013 after which the Montgomery County Council will vote on how much development to allow in the Ten Mile Creek watershed.

We must fight to defend our rivers from pollution and degradation from gas drilling and fracking. Frack waste is so toxic that even the Coast Guard has recognized that its radioactivity and hazardous components warrant special limits on its transport. But they are trying to avoid public scrutiny and participation by a quick and dirty approval process that is riddled with loopholes that essentially remove any safeguard they propose, putting the water quality of all rivers and public health at great risk. Comment period has been extended to Dec. 6. If we all speak up, we can stop this.

I’ve already seen the damage the fracking industry causes. My family lives on farmland in the hills of West Virginia, where drilling and fracking operations are devastating the land, destroying ecosystems, and threatening the health of Appalachian communities. And in my home state of Ohio, wastewater injection techniques have caused 4.0 magnitude earthquakes on old, forgotten fault lines. Chatsworth is my new home, and I'm going to do all I can to protect it from fracking. Here in Los Angeles, I’ve met residents in the Figueroa Corridor whose health is threatened by drilling operations. Headaches, rashes, nosebleeds — these things are becoming commonplace for some. In Baldwin Hills, drilling activities in the adjacent oil field are cracking the foundations of private homes. With property damage and earthquakes an increasing risk, we need to stop fracking in Los Angeles.

Adding recycling bins for paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass around campus. At this college, there is a lot of paper handed out, and when we are done with it, where can we put it? Same with tin, plastic, bottles, glass, etc, where can we put them without having to go to the SAK?

The states that do allow wolf hunting (MN.,WI.,MT.,ID.,WY.,) have decimated the populations that once were there. It is out of HATE that these states allow the hunting of wolves. It is NOT based out of science.
