Unless we act now to enhance the Regional Climate Action Plan specifics to protect the Everglades from saltwater intrusion, increased pollutant problems and climate change rainfall stormwaters, we will be unable to assure the health of the Everglades or our southeastern counties' low-lying populations.

desde 1997 han prometido que se hará tal vía ínter-oceánica http://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/MAM-590822 y hasta ahora no se ha visto. por lo que se solicita que por su intermedio se proponga en el senado de la república un proyecto de ley con su respectivo debate de interés publico para estudiar no tan solo la realización de tal canal ínter-oceánico,sino la asignación de los recursos pertinentes para lograr en el tiempo razonable posible la realización de tan importante obra de progreso para el Departamento de Urabá y para toda la nación. es de recordarles que la obra favorecería el comercio internacional,recordemos que en los estudios realizados se dice que seria el de mayor calaje de todos los canales inter-oceánicos y el que menos perjuicios ambientales generación por ser la unión de los ríos atrato ( para ir hacia el atlántico) y Rio Brazo Viejo ( para ir hacia el pacifico) uniendo a Brazo Viejo por medio de un Río Artificial que Vendría desde el Golfo de Cupica en (Océano del Pacifico) esto implicaria una mínima remocion de tierra y un canal ínter-oceánico de amplio calaje, porque tanto el Río Atrato,Como el Río Brazo Viejo son de los mas caudalosos del Urabá.

Around the world, bees are dying at alarming rates and new science is pointing to the world’s most popular class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (also called neonics), made by giant chemical companies Bayer and Syngenta, as the key factor in the global bee die-off crisis. These key pollinators need our help. Without immediate action to save bees, which pollinate two-thirds of our food crops, everything from almonds to strawberries could disappear from supermarket shelves. Europe has banned bee-killing pesticides but the EPA has delayed action until 2018. Fortunately, Representatives John Conyers (D, Mich.) and Earl Blumenauer (D, Ore.) just introduced a bill to give our bees a fighting chance. The “Save America’s Pollinators Act” will suspend the use of toxic, bee-killing pesticides until a full review of scientific evidence indicates they are safe and a field study demonstrates they do no harm to bees and other pollinators. The bees can’t wait, and neither can we. Please tell your congressional representative to co-sponsor the “Save America’s Pollinators Act” right now!

I belong to Food and Water Watch. I have going to ban fracking events and speaking against fracking at city councils, for a few years. I pass out papers informing the public about the dangers of fracking and refer them to watch "Gasland: Can you Light your Water on fire?" and You Tube videos about fracking: Fracking Hell: The Untold Story from Link TV and on You Tube. Fracking also brings up radiation, besides poisoning the water and air with chemicals. This will cause food and water shortages globally. The cement in many of the fracking wells on farms have failed and poisoned aquifers. The wars of the world will be fought over water and food. My relatives live in Penn. and Youngstown Ohio, where the fracking has contaminated the water. My uncle Steve, owned a farm in West Virginia and leased it to the gas drillers. When the least was up, he could not get them to leave his property. He fought them in court for many years. He could not afford to fight them, but did until his death 2 years ago. He tried to get his property back and failed.

Commissioner Rowland has dismissed 2 1/2 years of work in developing a regulation that protects the health , welfare and property rights and property values of all Elbert County residents. Send him a message that he works for us, not his personal ideology.

Say no to allowing the Keystone Pipeline being built across the United States from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast. The risks of oil leaks, pollution and public safety are too high of a cost. The oil industry can not be trusted to guarantee the public's safety. The more than a dozens of accidents involving pipelines, oil rigs, train derailments, and shipping have demonstrated the lack of concern on their part in the name of commerce and profits.

This is an urgent issue because 350,000 acres of Nevada land has been sold with more due to be auctioned and fracking is set to begin this year. In states where hydraulic fracturing is occurring such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wyoming, and Texas, evidence of cancer, asthma, neurological issues, and death as a result of contamination have been documented. Some of those studying these risks are scientists and professors at Cornell, UC Berkley, Yale, Harvard, and Penn State (to name a few). Another critical risk is to our food supply. Livestock deaths from fracking fluids seeping into pastures pose serious risks to our food supply: 1) the cattle can directly enter our food supply by being sent to slaughter 2) they can be ground up into feedstock and fed to pigs and chickens which then enter our food supply. Another issue is contaminated crops through seepage of fracking fluids onto farmlands. There are numerous pathways of contamination that puts public health at risk. If we fail to allow time for research, the costs associated with these could far exceed any projected revenue from drilling. Nevada wants a moratorium in order to allow science time to study the potential risks of hydraulic fracturing. Esta cuestión es urgente porque se han vendido unos 350,000 acres en Nevada y hay otros que están a punto de ser subastados, y se proyecta que fracturación hidráulica va a comenzar este año. En los estados en que se está practicando la fracturación hidráulica, como Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wyoming y Texas, hay evidencia documentada de cáncer, asma, problemas neurológicos y muerte producida por la contaminación. Entre los que están estudiando estos riesgos hay científicos y profesores de Cornell, UC Berkeley, Yale, Harvard y Penn State (entre otras universidades).
