Every Day airplanes by the dozens dump toxic chemicals "Chemtrails" and compounds into the air we breath. It is responsible for many of the illnesses we face today & needs to be seriously addressed!

For the first time in 30 years, New Mexico may open its doors to uranium mining. Uranium mining can cause permanent damage to our water supplies through the leaching of radioactive materials into groundwater, not to mention the fact that it takes millions of gallons of water a day to operate a mine. Worse yet—they want to mine on Mt. Taylor, a mountain sacred to the Navajo and Pueblos and the highest point in the Cibola National Forest. Allowing mining anywhere near the mountain would be devastating. Please sign the petition below and show the U.S. Forest Service that New Mexicans do not want this type of destruction in our state. Public comments are open until May 14.

The political group founded by Mark Zuckerberg, "Fwd.us", is spending more than a million dollars running ads to support candidates who voted the wrong way on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and on the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. And Facebook is reportedly rejecting ads that criticized Fwd.us for taking this action. This is absurd. Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg should not be supporting dirty energy and the political allies of dirty energy companies. Sign our petition to make sure Mark Zuckerberg hears how much we dislike this!

Get the EPA to outlaw the use of neonicotinold insecticides. It is killing the bees.

We must end the silence surrounding the damage and destruction that we are causing the earth.

Fracking is the use of high-volume, hydraulic fracturing of the earth to release natural gas for use in energy. Horror stories from other states about open pits of toxic wastewater, secret brews of toxins injected into the earth, air emissions sickening neighbors, and contaminated drinking water are just a few of the impacts seen elsewhere. The prospect of the gas industry coming Illinois to extract gas from beneath our state using high-volume hydraulic fracturing has caused a great deal of controversy and concern, especially in parts of Illinois where leasing for drilling rights has been underway for well over a year.

According to Dr. James E. Hansen, former head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and its most famous climate scientist, a bi-lateral carbon tax is our last best hope to stop the irreversible effects of global warming. The carbon tax would steer consumers and businesses toward products and energy sources having low carbon foot prints such as wind and solar power, locally grown food, electric vehicles and 4g nuclear power solutions which would replace aging backbone coal fired plants. Market forces and new technologies would determine future product winners and losers over the transitional period of ten years as the carbon tax increases at a predictable rate. If the US and China implement a unified carbon tax the rest of the world will follow or pay import duties to the world's two largest economies. Consumers can use the Carbon Dividend to offset the higher price of energy.

The Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico will lose virtually all protections in 2015 if Congress doesn't include it in the National Park system as a National Preserve. It's urgent that Congress pass Senate Bill 285 as soon as possible to secure the Preserve's future. New Mexico's economy will benefit and this spectacular place will be protected for all time.

Imagine this: While walking in the door to your home, the phone rings; on the other end a representative from EPA informs you that there has been a disaster at the BP plant in Whiting, Indiana; something about an explosion and leaking pipes filled with toxic chemicals... The conversation ends with her telling you that you MUST NOT drink the water out of the faucet - the water is contaminated! You turn on the TV and the news is everywhere - DO NOT DRINK OR USE THE WATER OUT OF LAKE MICHIGAN! I wait for this day to come; all that it takes is one problem and millions of people, plants and animals that rely daily on our lake's fresh water, will suffer. The World will suffer. 97% of the World's water is salt water... 3% of the World's water is fresh water... Of this 3% fresh water, less than 1% is actually above ground and of this above ground water roughly 21% of the entire worlds fresh and above ground water lies in the Great Lakes. We must do everything we can to preserve the world's resource! Please act now and say NO MORE TO BP IN LAKE MICHIGAN!!! Water is our most precious resource. We must defend the defenseless and defend ourselves. Big money corporations look out for their pocketbooks, not for the protection of the environment. We are not going to sleep on this issue any longer. We, the people, are waking up NOW! We want British Petroleum (BP) out of Lake Michigan!

Whenever I go to the gas station to fill up my tank, I use the opportunity to empty out the garbage in my car. However, it's not always garbage. A lot of times it's items that could be recycled: aluminum cans, plastic soda bottles, paper, etc. If all gas stations provided receptacles for recycling, we could go a long way in keeping our earth green!

Like most Americans, I'm tired of big money buying congressional votes.

Illinois House and Senate will soon be voting on a compromise bill that would allow fracking in Illinois. I am concerned that we have seen enough evidence of severe harm created by this unregulated industry to cause us all alarm for the future health of people and the environment.
