Support a Moratorium on Shale Gas Drilling in PennsylvaniaPennsylvania is being wracked by fracking, but together we can stop it. Keystone Progress, along with some great partners, have gathered almost 100,000 signatures for a statewide moratorium on this dangerous and unnatural gas drilling. Help us stun the frackers and meet their goal by the April 30th deadline by signing below As fracking spills across Pennsylvania, things are only getting worse. We need to act now. From poisoned drinking water, to toxic air pollution and dead livestock, the list of people being harmed by fracking continues to grow. Gas drilling companies have committed more than 3,000 violations of environmental law, showing a continual disregard for Pennsylvanians' health and the health of our environment. And yet the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection continues to withhold the results of water tests that would tell us what chemicals the frackers are using and who is at risk. Despite all this damage, and more, last year our legislature went so far as to strip local communities of their right to take legal action to protect themselves from fracking. We can't wait for the politicians to act. We need a people-powered movement that's big enough to fight back and win. With your help, we can build that movement in Pennsylvania. Join 100,000 other Keystone state residents and call for a timeout on fracking right now.5,263 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Morrill

NO CELL TOWER IN KILAUEAThe proposed 80 foot / 8 story cell tower does not belong next to a neighborhood and school--they should put it away from residential areas and schools. It will destroy our historical views and our home value, as the base station will keep the neighborhood awake all night. Say NO to the variance.153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lori Patch

Stop US-Funded Coral Destruction in the Marshall IslandsThe U.S. FAA is funding an airport expansion project in the Marshall Islands that is dredging a living coral reef to get fill material. Coral reefs are important worldwide for food, recreation, erosion buffers, and more - this reef is worth much more alive than dead. Corals are already in precipitous declines globally and the U.S. should be directing money towards conservation efforts, not destruction. Not only is this project in direct violation of Executive Order 13089 (Coral Reef Protection), the silt screen the contractors were required to use is non-functioning and smothering adjacent sections of the reef with sediments and the screen itself. The local EPA has a history of mining coral reefs and serious steps should be taken to avoid this issue in the future. Alternative fill materials are available and should be used over the destruction of this valuable ecosystem. Other agencies (the Florida Deportment of State, for example) fine people for damaging and destroying coral (see the Florida Coral Reef Protection Act). Why is the FAA funding it? Please require the Department of State to apply the protection that is required by Executive Order 13089 and stop the U.S.-funded mining of a living coral reef.162 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Katy Cummings

Stop Importing Fracking Materials at the Port of OlympiaThe Port of Olympia Commissioners have been permitting import of ceramic proppants since mid-2012. These proppants are being used to frack the Bakken formation in North Dakota. The fossil fuel industry is not bothering to capture the natural gas when they frack the Bakken because there is more profitable oil to be extracted, so they are simply burning the natural gas as a waste material. The oil from the Bakken could be pumped for 30 years, further fueling the climate crisis if we don't step in and say NO. We can build a sustainable energy grid. Our children and grandchildren will thank us for making this change happen. The change begins when we all stop contributing to and facilitating the fossil fuel extraction industry. We ask the Port Commissioners to stop the import and movement of the fracking materials now.527 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Mike Coday

It's time for a greener energy future in ConnecticutRight now, the state legislature is mapping out Connecticut's energy future. It is clear that we must do something to address global warming, but special interests and corporate lobbyists are all pushing their own agendas. It's an uphill battle, but with your help we can save our environment while creating hundreds of in-state jobs. We're working on a variety of issues like the creation of a sustainable fund to retrofit thousands of old Connecticut homes, and ensuring Connecticut's place as a national leader in clean energy. Our goals include conserving energy, creating thousands of green jobs and lowering utility bills. Tell your state representatives that you support this agenda by signing our petition.235 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Elise J. Willer

Stop A Mobile ChernobylHere’s the nuclear power industry’s plan to deal with the ever-growing problem of deadly radioactive waste piling up at nuclear reactors: get it off their sites and send tens of thousands of hot casks on America’s highways and railways to one or more “temporary” unprotected sites located anywhere but on their property. Sound like a serious plan? Of course not. But some in Congress like the idea and are pushing to include that plan as part of an overhaul of the nation’s radioactive waste laws. Please sign the petition to tell Congress that “centralized interim storage” of radioactive waste—and the accompanying and completely unnecessary risk of a Mobile Chernobyl—is unacceptable. We need a permanent solution, not Fukushima Freeways. Nothing New The nuclear industry’s plan is nothing new. In fact, it’s the same plan they came up with 20 years ago, when Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) first coined the term “Mobile Chernobyl.” The public rose in opposition, and President Clinton vetoed an “interim” storage bill passed by Congress. The Senate upheld his veto. Now we have to show that opposition again. Want more info? Go to NIRS website: www.nirs.org765 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Michael Mariotte
