Fracking contaminates water all over the USA. We do not need this in Florida ever. La facturación hidráulica contamina el agua por todo el EE.UU. Nunca necesitamos esto en Florida.

City Council Candidate Ben Kallos says that NYC must insist to state government that we won't let communities and our environment get torn apart by fracking.

This petition has two parts. Part one is to ban geothermal hydraulic fracturng (fracking) in Hawaii. Geothermal fracking creates earthquakes and threatens to contaminate our water tables. There is a clear and direct threat that geothermal fracking will be utilized as geothermal drilling is expanded in Hawaii. Part two of this petition is intended to restrict the purchase of Liquified Natural Gas in Hawaii to gas obtained from conventional wells vs wells that use fracking.

Pennsylvania generates 1 percent of global emissions. When compared with entire nations, PA ranks as the world's twenty second largest emitter of carbon dioxide. The resulting excessive heat and air pollution exacerbates respiratory issues which puts the state's asthmatic population, higher than the national average, in considerable dangers.

As an allergist- immunologist, I have seen a dramatic increase in the incidence of asthma as well as other major diseases related to exposure to toxic chemicals such as those cited in the report. Release this report now to keep the public informed of potentially hazardous exposures that cause disease. Our children's health should not be jeopardized due to political influence.

Fracking poisons water, one of California's most precious resources. It threatens people's health, the eco-system, and California's huge agricultural economy. The oil and gas industries with their political clout, more insidiously, also threaten our very democracy.

GMO's are affecting the health and well being of every human and animal that ingests them. We the people have a right to know what we are consuming in ALL of our foods. Let's put an end to big pay offs from big corporations, and start caring about the welfare of our families, our fellow man, and the environment!

Connecticut has started the ball rolling with their own GMO labeling legislation. Consumers have the right to know what is in their food, and the food processing industry has taken over our legislature with their lobbyists which have no interest in public safety or welfare. Now is the time to act to bring consumers out of the dark concerning their food supply.

Google's motto is "Don't Be Evil," but on July 11, Google is hosting a $250-$2500 per plate fundraiser for one of the worst climate change deniers in the world: Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK). Google was also the biggest donor to the Competitive Enterprise Institute's recent annual dinner, giving $50,000 to this anti-science group. Sen. Inhofe has claimed: "CO2 does not cause catastrophic disasters ... actually, it would be beneficial to our environment and the economy." Google chairman Eric Schmidt has said: "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar." Google has been a corporate leader in fighting climate change pollution, and its support for liars like Inhofe is a glaring mistake.

Ameren is in the business of making money for its investors and executives, but Ameren is doing this at the expense of the health and well-being of St. Louis area residents. Ameren relies almost entirely on dirty, out-of-state coal to generate electricity, poisoning our air and water in St. Louis County in the process. Currently, Ameren is able to pollute almost limitlessly. Ameren’s plants lack pollution controls for dangerous sulfur dioxide, a pollutant that contributes to severe respiratory illnesses. Ameren doesn’t monitor groundwater at its existing coal ash disposal sites, even though leaching of pollutant-laden coal-ash waste has been documented. Now, Ameren is trying to rush through proposals to build new landfills for coal ash without informing our communities.

"The stars at night are big and bright..." Texas is famous for our magnificent dark, starry nights. From teaching our kids about astronomy and the mysteries of the universe to sharing a romantic night with a loved one, our starry skies are a treasured natural wonder. But wasteful outdoor lighting from unshielded, over-lit fixtures is obscuring the night sky. This "light pollution" can disturb sleep, harm animals, create dangerous or unattractive glare, reduce safety and waste energy. There's a simple solution - shielding outdoor lighting and reflecting it back to the ground, where we want it (which then allows us to reduce the size of bulb needed for the task). For example, the Austin American Statesman reported that Austin Energy "is replacing 70,000 upward-shining streetlights with more nighttime-friendly shielded flat lights." On Wednesday, the West Lake Hills city council will consider taking action to reduce light pollution.

Too many fast food restaurants use and dispose of plastic containers without regard to the environment. Despite Wendy's meager attempts at recycling, there are no options in the restaurant for recycling containers that have barely been touched by food. We end up taking the containers home to clean, reuse, and recycle. But most consumers throw them away on site. All it takes is a green box!
