Let's build a million solar roofsColorado is famous for its "three hundred days of sunshine," yet less than 1% of our energy comes from the sun. We have plenty of sunshine for solar, but what we need is the leadership: Gov. Hickenlooper needs to see that thousands of people want real solar power in Colorado. Help us get 10,000 signatures to the governor to show him that it’s time for 21st-century energy.4,146 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Margaret McCall

Stop Wisconsin Sand MinesTrempealeau County has been targeted by numerous sand mine companies to start sand operations of one sort of the other. As public hearings are taking place, citizens have witnessed the board members chuckling at them as they state their concerns. Citizens have been also been told that they are "spoiled" when it comes to their peaceful country life. We have been told we will not be affected by the sand mines and their dust, pollution or noise. The citizens of Trempealeau County want our voices heard and we want our concerns acknowledged. Please help us send a message to our state legislature that we are not comfortable with the mines coming to our towns, to our homes, or to our communities! Save our land. Save our communities. Save our way of life.288 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Angela Sylla

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
