A new pipeline to bring water halfway across the state of Connecticut to UConn would threaten the future ecological health of the Farmington River and the water needs of the communities within the watershed. This cross-basin transfer of water - with the potential for far greater withdrawals in the future - is a poor precedent to set in an increasingly uncertain water future and especially in the absence of regional and state-wide water planning. Already, periods of prolonged drought have led to inadequate flows below the reservoir system which have placed significant stress on the trout and aquatic life in the river and pose further economic hardships on the riverside communities which rely on the angling and recreational tourism the river provides.

Fossil fuels are unsustainable, yet they still comprise the majority of our society’s energy consumption. Technology exists, and continues to improve, for renewable and responsible development of solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and even of safer nuclear energy, but often the political will does not exist to commit to them over the more conventional, cheaper fossil fuels. H.B 950, 200, and 100 proposed by Representative Greg Vitali of Delaware County would 1) permanently ban gas drilling in the remaining untouched Pennsylvanian state forestland, almost half of which has already been signed away for development; 2) save the PA Sunshine Solar Program, which helps homeowners and small businesses to install solar systems; 3) amend the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of 2004 to increase the renewable energy requirement from 8% to 15% and from 0.5% solar to 1.5% solar, which is more competitive with that of other states. These bills give us an opportunity to correct the dangerously unsustainable path that we are on now, and can lay the foundation for a building a brighter, more hopeful future.

We are slowly being poisoned by big business through our food. We are all entitled to know what we are eating. The choice should be ours. We want you to rescind the Monsanto Protection Act and put mandatory labeling on all GMO foods.

Washington County is the most wasteful water user in the West. Water officials in Utah have made the claim that Washington County residents cannot or will not commit to 1% annual conservation or the other provisions outlined in Western Resource Advocates Local Waters Alternative. Signing this petition demonstrates our commitment to conserve water and our desire to see the adoption of the Local Waters Alternative PRIOR to any further pursuit of the Lake Powell Pipeline.

Washington County is the most wasteful water user in the West. Water officials in Utah have made the claim that Washington County residents cannot or will not commit to 1% annual conservation. Signing this petition demonstrates the large portion of Washington County residents who are willing to commit to conserving water and responsible use of our resources.

chemtrails are toxic metals (aluminum, barium, and strontium) or any other undisclosed chemical or biological agent that has been sprayed onto populations all over the world from specially equipped airplanes. it affects the environment and health of humans and all living breathing organisms marine and plant life. for example the aluminum causes alzheimer's and the ph levels in the soil are adversely affected, barium and strontium are toxic, strontium is the most deadliest element known to man.

This is effecting the air we breathe and the environment we live in. All of nature in involved in this experiment. We deserve to know what's going on.

END XL OIL PIPLINE TOXIC & DEADLY

Keystone XL would carry 830,000 barrels a day of the world's dirtiest, most dangerous oil, putting American drinking water at risk and accelerating climate change. President Obama has the power to stop this disaster before it starts.

If people were charged 10 cents for a plastic and /or Paper bag ,they would start bringing their own bags. This would help our landfills, because it takes a long time for one Plastic bag to decompose and most people only use their plastic bags one time. We cut down mill approximately 14 million trees, each year for paper bags. They have a successful program in California and in Hawaii, why not North Carolina ?

Every where I go, there are folks worried about the rising cost of fuel, CO2 emissions, global warming, and depleting fossil fuel. My friends from Denmark and Germany commented that there are far more installations of solar panels in their countries (with less sunshine) than here in Florida (the Sunshine State). The reason is: they have FIT (Feed-In-Tariff) for renewable energy and we, the Floridians, do not.

Polystyrene foam, sometimes incorrectly called Styrofoam, is incredibly wasteful. It is made from petroleum, breaks into tiny pieces that are very hard to clean up, and never biodegrades. It litters our beaches, streets and parks, and is detrimental to aquatic life and land animals that mistake the pieces as food. Many cities in California have already banned plastic foam, and it is one step that we can take to make the earth a better place for our future generations. Many restaurants have taken the initiative to use alternatives such as durable food ware, paper, cardboard and certified biodegradable plastics instead of polystyrene foam. If we have the option to make better choices, why not make those choices? Earlier this month I attended the San Diego Green Students Youth Forum where I proposed banning plastic foam. At that time, District 9 Councilmember Marti Emerald told me that the best way to get started is to begin a petition. Mayor Bob Filner told us that it is up to us, the younger generation, to make a difference in our city! Help us make a difference!
