I am asking the administration’s to make progress on climate and whether. For the sake of our children and our future, we must do more to combat climate change.I hope the president turns down the Keystone XL oil pipeline. We must cut in half the energy wasted by our homes and businesses.I am asking Congress to develop an economy-wide emissions reduction program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,reduce the carbon pollution that threatens our health and our climate.Most important, it’s to develop new plan who will produce the wind turbines and solar panels and develop the alternative fuels to power the future.

In the world of climate, what goes up doesn’t always easily come back down. That’s true of atmospheric CO2 levels, and while we are struggling to control CO2, we must also immediately cut methane and black carbon to help preserve the climate we have for the coming decades. As James Hansen, perhaps the world’s most famous climate scientist, has said, “Expected difficulties in slowing the growth rate of CO2 and eventually stabilizing atmospheric CO2 amount make the non-CO2 (climate factors) all the more important.” We agree, and we implore our leaders to immediately set more ambitious targets for methane and black carbon. Methane could be brought down globally to 1250ppb in two decades. This could probably be achieved without any U.S. legislation at all, but with a global effort, under U.S. leadership, to restructure, expedite and greatly strengthen already existing programs at UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) and elsewhere.

There is a solution, workable NOW, for the worlds energy challenge ... no highly radioactive waste materials, no CO2 in the atmosphere and locatable on any seashore. No Laser or Tokamak problems!

The air I breath is at stake. The vegetation we eat is in danger. The ice caps are going to melt and wipe out all coastal cities if we do nothing. This directly affects every single human, and it is our last chance.

Skype meetings, family, etc for one month instead of flying. The airlines have going crazy and will continue to nickel and dime passengers as long as we are willing to pay for everything including bags, water, seats by windows, isle seats, WHATEVER. Stop the madness for one month. The airlines will get the message.

On May 1, 2013, the NC Renewable Energy Program was killed by Republican Senators. It was in place from 2007 until now, during which there was bipartisan support in a largely Democratic North Carolina legislature. Now, the Republicans have taken a narrow, exclusionary view of North Carolina's energy future. They've taken away any push to have the electric companies use renewable energy.

Every week, citizens are flooded with completely unnecessary and wasteful paper mail. I, myself have simply stopped opening paper mail, and instead throw the envelopes directly into the recycling bin. In the year 2013, there is no reason to waste paper and demolish trees by sending paper mail. Government entities and private companies will save thousands if not millions of dollars simply by emailing any pertinent information to the recipient. Only very few companies allow citizens to opt out of paper mail and choose to be contacted by email. I propose that the use of paper mail for the purpose of information delivery be entirely abolished and replaced by information delivery via email. Even items such as DMV registration stickers can be printed online with a password instead of being sent by paper mail. Utilization the free, simple technology of information exchange via email is environmentally responsible, undeniably fiscally advantageous, and saves citizens from wasting time opening or simply throwing away stacks of unopened and unnecessary paper mail. This changeover is also advantageous to those that are sight impaired, as their computers can read messages aloud through voice programs, whereas this is not possible with a piece of paper. Those who cannot afford computers, cannot type or navigate a computer could be offered financial assistance, free training classes, or an "opt in" to the paper mail alternative. Furthermore, citizens should not be held liable for any information sent to them via paper mail that is not received or opened. Information should only be sent via email and recipients should only be responsible for responding to information sent via email. There is no reason to continue to use an outdated, expensive, environmentally wasteful and less reliable paper mail system when the technology of instant communication and trackable messages can be sent by email. Save the environment, save money, and save time by stopping paper mail.

SoCal Gas seeks amendments to the Santa Barbara County Code (Coastal Zoning Ordinance) in order to directionally drill 4 natural gas wells at their aging Goleta gas storage facility on the California coast. The drilling locations are in close proximity to a wildlife rich tidal slough, 200 space mobile home park, major airport, recreational beach and state university (UCSB). SoCal Gas has already paid for structural supports for two homes in the park due to gas compressor vibrations. What could happen during and after drilling?

The new flight path over Woburn, MA, is very upsetting to us!! The low flying jet planes are going overhead every 50 seconds. Please do not allow this to go on!!! We don't live at the airport!

People have the right to know what the ingredients are, and what the nutritional content is in bottled alcoholic beverages. Right now, there are almost no requirements as to what is labeled on alcoholic beverages that are sold in retail stores.

Monsanto is using poison on everything. They are using G.E. Trees now which have poison in their genes. This is spreading across the Earth. It is in the Air, Food and Water. We need to stop this BAD Science. Please watch this short Documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w437uQf_A7c

Leaf blowers are adding unnecessary noise pollution to the environment and robbing people of their right to peace and quiet. Typically they are used in park like settings, where people are going to get away from all the noise to begin with. They are so loud that the sound cuts right through my walls and disrupts my business. The non stop noise is driving me batty.
