Ban "Terminator Seeds"Terminator Seeds are genetically engineered seeds that have been gene spliced to be "sterile." If sterile seeds are released into the environment, they could cross-contaminate other plants making them sterile too. Without the ability of plants to produce seeds, it could alter the environment as we know it; making it "slient!" There will be no food for the animals, birds, bees or even us. Everything would become dependent on corporations to provide seeds for us to grow our own food!3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cindy Haviland

Legalize the growth of hemp in farms.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.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Moises Torres

100% Non-GMOWe 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.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jan Lake

Speed LimitsOur 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.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ronald Engerman

Get BPA out of our water bottlesBisphenol 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.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jordan Fengel

Stop using Drinking water on GrassClean 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.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Logan

Save our planetOur 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.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Fletcher
