• Ban Aircraft Spraying Over Vermont
    Almost immediately after the August 24, 2013 spraying my wife came down with a bladder and throat irritations. Tests run on her urine confirmed the existence of numerous contaminates. The health of all Vermonters is at stake as well as the agricultural businesses in the state. The medical profession has ignored these complaints as well as government agencies.

  • URGENT President Obama: Please take immediate action to assist with Fukushima's disastrous nuclea...
    The Fukushima nuclear meltdown was nearly THREE years ago and while we WAIT for Japan to handle the crisis, over 300 tons DAILY of radioactive water hemorrhages into our ocean, killing and contaminating every living thing in its path. This is unacceptable. It is now known that this is far worse (over 300 times say some scientists) than Chernobyl. Life as we ALL knew it before 3/11/11 is now OVER. If this were chemical warfare against children we would risk life and limb to assist. It IS chemical warfare as we do little while children in Japan fight for their lives against an invisible chemical opponent. 40% of them in the Fukushima area are experiencing toxic radioactive levels and some are now being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Mr. President: We ask that you move mountains if necessary to help shut this down. Mobilize a large U.S. team, request nuclear scientists globally to network and assist, whatever it takes. But for the health of all, insist that Japan receive this desperately needed support. We MUST be able to handle reactor meltdowns and nuclear waste effectively or we have no business creating NEW nuclear power plants around the country! If you can't FIX IT, don't BUILD IT!

  • CLOSE A FOREST SERVICE ROAD & SAVE THE WILD!
    The Klamath National Forest is in charge of a critical biodiversity “hotspot” in Northern California that extends well into Southern Oregon: the SISKIYOU CREST. This petition asks the Forest Service to close and revegetate with native plants Forest Service Road 47N80, otherwise known as the Bee Camp Road. The Bee Camp Road is long defunct, boulder strewn and barely drivable, mostly by ATVs. Built to access the chromium mines in Hello Canyon in the 1940's, it is now a useless invasion of wild country. The Bee Camp Road begins at Cook and Green Pass and heads west paralleling the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and surrounded by roadless wildland on all sides. The road is adjacent to the Cook and Green Pass Botanical Area and the Seiad Baker Cypress Botanical Area. The area is designated "back country" by the Klamath National Forest, and all Forest Service management direction in the area emphasizes backcountry and botanical values, wildlife, late successional reserves, and non-motorized recreation. The Bee Camp Road represents an obstacle for wilderness designation; it is a seed source for noxious and non-native weeds; it disrupts the feeling of solitude and isolation in the Red Buttes Wilderness, the Kangaroo Roadless Area, and on the PCT. It also disturbs the abundant wildlife in the area because the road allows access for motorized vehicles, poachers, and others who seek to do harm. The Red Buttes region is the wild central core of the Siskiyou Crest, with the Condrey Mountain Roadless Area to the east and the Siskiyou Wilderness to the west. The Bee Camp Road is the only road still open to vehicular use from Cook and Green Pass to Sundown Gap, a distance of approximately 20 miles. More info and opportunity for added comments can be found as follows. See ttp://thesiskiyoucrest.blogspot.com/2013/05/close-bee-camp-road.html Comments may be submitted in a variety of ways.

  • No fracking the Beartooth Front
    Save the Beartooth front! We, the citizens of South-Central Montana and others who love to travel here, declare that we will NOT stand by and allow our beloved landscape to be fracked for oil and gas. We do not need or want anything akin to the Bakken disaster in OUR backyard. Our land and water are at stake, and therefore our tourism and agricultural economies, not to mention our cherished outdoors that make this such a special place to live. We call upon John Mork and his Energy Corporation of America to leave Montana, the last best place. Thank you to all who sign. Deb Muth, Chair Carbon County Resource Council Carbon County Resource Council, the local chapter of Northern Plains Resource Council, aims to bring together the hundreds of people who have begun to cry out in response to news that we may be facing the disaster of fracking here in the Beartooths and Big Horn river basin. Northern Plains Resource Council is a grassroots conservation and family agriculture group. We organize Montana citizens to protect our water quality, family farms and ranches, and unique quality of life.

  • Stop the Killing of an Endangered Black Rhino
    The black rhino is a critically endangered, but very beautiful animal. The Dallas Safari Club however, is deciding it wants to sell the right to kill one in Namibia. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, shockingly, is cooperating fully with this senseless act. Please sign, and let's try to save a black rhino together.

  • Preserve Neighborhood Character
    We want reasonable, green, development at 480 Potrero that fits the neighborhood character. The current design is too massive, does not provide enough parking, does not protect the Verdi Club, does not provide green open space for new residents and does not fit the neighborhood character.

  • BLM: Please keep oil and gas leases out of the San Rafael Swell
    The San Rafael Swell is one of Utah's most unique landscapes. It covers 2,000 square miles of narrow canyons, hoodoos, towering cliffs, and breathtaking views; it is truly an desert paradise and an outdoor lover's dream, visited by thousands of tourists every year. Recently, the Bureau of Land Management announced its plans to lease 80,000 acres in and around the San Rafael Swell--including areas that have been proposed for wilderness designation. These leases will hit the auction block on November 19th. Please sign this petition in support of protecting the San Rafael Swell from oil and gas development. Let the BLM know that these 80,000 parcels need to remain untouched.

  • Fukushima is Not Just Japan’s Problem: An International Group of Nuclear Experts Must Be Assembled
    The danger of huge releases of radiation during impending operations at the Fukushima Dai'ichi Nuclear Power Plant requires the utmost cooperation, skill, and finesse of the finest scientific and engineering minds from around the world. The United States must take the lead at this critical time to see that such a group is gathered and in place when the fuel rods are moved. The continued viability of life on Earth is at stake. It is a global issue.
