The Minnesota Clean Energy and Jobs campaign answers Governor Dayton's call to build a sustainable future by transitioning to renewable energy like wind and solar power, increasing energy efficiency, and making it easier to generate local power. Please ask your legislator to support clean energy and jobs legislation that helps Minnesota reach its sustainability goals.

A petition from the residents of Astoria, NY, who want their local official to find a solution to the endemic garbage finding its way on Steinway Ave. and its surrounding.

All residents of the US should be allowed to generate their own solar power and sell it back to utilities. Universal access and net-metering would not increase utility bills and would likely lower them over time.

They are not recycled and are getting dumped into the ocean.

This hard plastic is showing up everywhere and wrecking our environment. We need to put back into the environment not dump in it. Glass can be recycled.

University At Buffalo's and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus's 2020 plan is to systematically gentrify the McCarley Gardens and Fruit Belt neighborhood, not to mention imminent domain and land banking. The residents have no say in what happens to them. The tenants of McCarley Gardens face displacement due to UB's attempt to purchase the property from Oak Michigan Development Corp. (an arm of St. John Baptist Church). The city of Buffalo gave control of their properties to this Corporation in the Fruit Belt causing health problems and damage to properties as a result of the construction work. Also, the employees of the Campus are parking four blocks into the Fruit Belt, therefore leaving no parking space for the residents. They have four more building projects which means additional parking and construction issues.

We have had "right turn on red" for many years to save fuel. We need to further reduce fuel waste and idling pollution by reducing the restrictions on left turns. When ever reasonable "left turn on arrow only" should be changed to "left turn yield" at intersections that do not have sufficient oncoming traffic to warrant the restriction.

We need to move treatment plant from school areas.

THE LANDSCAPE AND WASTE FACILITY ON PETER BAKERS PROPERTY

Our names are Leyla and Liza and we are 10 years old. If constructed, the Keystone XL pipeline will carry one of the dirtiest fuels, tar sands oil, which emits three times more greenhouse gases than conventional gasoline production. It will cause earth, air and water pollution and destroy the lives of people, animals, and our precious land. The pipeline will travel more than 1,700 miles through farmland and fragile ecosystems. In the last decade we have had over 2,500 oil spills. Our planet needs our help, please stop the worst climate bomb in world history from exploding. Save the earth for our generation.

We shouldn't have nearly as much plastic

Right now, many of our every day products -- like clothing, shampoo, furniture, baby bottles, and electronics -- contain toxic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, learning disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, birth defects, and asthma. This is unacceptable. The stores we shop at should be watching out for us by asking their suppliers to keep toxic chemicals out of their products. But they won’t do it unless we make them. Please sign our petition asking the ten biggest retailers to protect our health and our families by keeping toxic chemicals out of their products!
