This petition is about saving the wildlife and the environment. As you all know phonebook are really thick and they take up a large amount of paper. Which comes too cutting down more trees and leaving wildlife roaming around the cities trying to survive. Further more that leads up to wild animal attacks and injuries. Please sign this petition to protect the wildlife, more efficient land use and less consumption of paper.

The oil and gas billionaire Koch brothers are trying to purchase the South Florida Sun-Sentinel! It’s part of a larger bid to buy the Tribune Company’s media assets, which includes TV stations and major newspapers across the country in addition to the Sun-Sentinel. The Koch brothers—David and Charles—are fossil fuel barons who have devoted their fortunes to bankrolling climate change denial, union busting, and the Tea Party. Now, they want to expand their radical right-wing propaganda to communities across the country by “Fox-news-ifying” local papers like the Sun-Sentinel. South Florida Sun-Sentinel readers and other Tribune company customers are key stakeholders in the decision. By showing Tribune Company executives that the public counts on them for accurate and informative journalism, we can help persuade them not to sell to climate change deniers. We can’t allow respected journalistic institutions to become mouthpieces for the Kochs’ corrupt agenda.

Keep Oak Cliff Beautiful volunteers are frustrated by the number of plastic shopping bags they find amongst the litter pulled out of creek beds and roadsides and have made this “bag ban” a priority for Dallas, TX.

In 1959, the U.S. Congress designated Dyke Marsh as part of the National Park system, "so that fish and wildlife development and their preservation as wetland wildlife habitat shall be paramount." These wetlands provide crucial habitat to migratory and resident waterfowl and other birds, as well as numerous other animals and plants. Dyke Marsh, along the Potomac River in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County, Virginia, has lost at least 100 acres since 1937 and continues to lose 1.5 to 2 acres a year. According to a U.S. Geological Survey study, Dyke Marsh could disappear completly.

In just over a decade, “fracking” for oil and gas has spread rapidly across many states, leaving a trail of contaminated water, polluted air, and marred landscapes in its wake. And now there’s a major push to bring fracked gas to Maine. Republican House Leader Ken Fredette and the Democratic Chair of the Energy Committee, Sen. John Cleveland, are sponsoring a bill (LD 1187) that aims to build a new pipeline to bring fracked gas from the Marcellus Shale (in Pennsylvania and surrounding states) to Maine. 

In addition, Rep. Fredette has a second bill (LD 1262) that would force Mainers — not the oil and gas industry — to pay for it. 
 
Maine’s legislative leaders have strong track records on the environment, but right now the bills are moving forward under the radar screen, and a backroom “deal” is in the works. We need to put a stop to it right now by shining a light on it. Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves pumping millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and a cocktail of chemicals into the ground at such high pressure that it fractures rock and releases gas. 

In numerous states, it's become one of the greatest threats to the environment in decades.

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.
