Most of agriculture comes from corn derived from GMO's. If we bring hemp (which is different from the marijuana bud) we wont have to use GMO's. Hemp grows easily fast and can be used for a number of things ( clothes, rope, food, etc) it will help farmers and us nutritionally as well.

We can't force Monsanto, ie big corporate agriculture to advertise that they are bad, sooooooo.........let's stage a grass roots movement to force USDA to create a 100% Non-GMO label. Every small/big producer can voluntarily advertise that they are 100% not GMO ! This gives consumers a choice and a way of voting with their pocket books.

Build a refinery at the U.S./Canada border instead of the Keystone pipeline. the cost are about the same and we can eliminate the chance of a spill.

GMO Labelling

Prohibit the sale of Roundup as a herbicide and related Monsanto products. Remove Roundup from local hardware and gardening store shelves.

Our dependence on foreign oil could be eliminated today, at once, if truly desired. We did it once before. A car driven 55 mph uses about 20 percent less gas than at 65 mph, and a whopping 40 percent less than at 75 mph. We could have less pollution, fewer accidents and deaths, lower auto insurance, and a kid-friendly planet. New Arctic and off-shore drilling promises to enrich Big Oil at the cost of more oil-spill contamination and an increasingly toxic world. Give your grandchildren a break. It's time to reduce speed limits.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known toxic chemical that is still put into products that we consume liquids and foods from; BPA unfortunately has been found leaching hormone mimicking toxins into our bottled water then into our bodies. Studies have proven and actions have been taken to ban its use in baby products; but it is still allowed in water bottles, soup cans and thousands of other products. It is time for these companies to stop poisoning us.

Clean drinking water is one of our most precious resources, next to clean air. We are rapidly depleting this precious resource, to water grass to make it appear green. In the middle of arid climates, where our River resources are rapidly being depleted, this should be self evident. Though how many can readily see water being wasted daily, hourly and every minute just for aesthetic purposes? Grass should not be grown in arid climates, let alone be grown at the expense of depleting our precious rivers, wells, & aquifers. Take a stand and stop watering grass all together.

Our planet is rapidly deteriorating. Soon it will become a barren wasteland devoid of any life what so ever. The only remnants of our time spent on earth will be mountains of garbage filling every existing crevice. Preserving our planet and creating a sustainable way of life on Earth should be the top priority of every human being.

Allies from across the environmental movement along with labor organizations, consumer organizations, businesses and communities of faith are working together to stop a major rollback to Connecticut’s clean energy commitments being pushed by Northeast Utilities lobbyists and Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection Dan Esty in Senate Bill 1138. If they have their way, they would flood our state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (how our state buys clean energy) with old, environmentally-damaging Canadian Hydro and give a massive corporate handout of more than $1 billion to Northeast Utilities to build the Northern Pass transmission lines. That hurts the renewable industry here in Connecticut and New England and wastes ratepayer dollars on transmission lines that cut through some of New England’s most pristine landscapes. What we need is a clean energy future built here at home with large-scale wind contracts. We need those jobs that would go to a large Canadian hydro corporation to go to small businesses here in our state. We need to be smart about our clean energy future and not waste ratepayer dollars just to pad the pockets of the utility companies.

I got generic lipator made in India, it had ground glass in it. I don't want my medicine made in third world countries.

On August 15, 2013, the Oak Hills Park Authority voted unanimously to work with the developer proposing a driving range on existing golf course land, and *NOT* to pursue the plan to destroy the woodlands. While this signals victory for our current petition, we don't want to have to fight this fight again. We invite you to sign our new petition to have the woodlands set aside as permanent open space: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/protect-oak-hills-woodlands History: The Oak Hills Park Authority (OHPA), a governing body appointed by Norwalk’s Mayor, intended to destroy the last remaining natural wooded area in Oak Hills by hiring a private contractor to construct and operate a golf driving range. If this natural area is destroyed, we will never get it back. The League of Women Voters of Norwalk voted on July 15 to oppose the destruction of the woodlands and to support this land being designated as permanent open space. This position is in accord with the LWVUSA position on land use and open space. As of June, OHPA had received two driving range proposals: one would locate the driving range on existing golf course acreage, while the other would destroy the woodlands. At a public meeting on June 20, OHPA stated that they are studying both proposals. Before issuing the Request for Proposal in May, OHPA claimed that a driving range is needed to make money because the golf course is not making enough money. However, OHPA has not disclosed financial details to show why the golf course is not making enough money, nor how much money a driving range would cost to construct and operate versus how much money it would bring in. The natural wooded area is unsuitable because it is steep, rocky, heavily wooded, bordered by a wetland, and close to neighboring homes. The erection of protective netting 110 feet or more in height would make the driving range unsightly. Furthermore, a driving range would impair the quality of life in the area with lights, noise and traffic, and would make the park inaccessible for those who don’t play golf. For all of these reasons we opposed the plan to construct a driving range if it would mean destroying the woodlands.
