By sneaking Section 735 into a federal appropriations bills, Monsanto has successfully planted a dangerous provision in U.S. law that strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect American's health and the environment while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new, untested genetically engineered crops. Even if their new GMO crops are ultimately proven to be harmful to human health or the environment, Section 735 allows them to be planted the minute the USDA approves them!

Under the guise of 'energy independence' US utilities & other Corporations (& politicians) are agressively pushing for the importation of energy sources from Canada that is tainted by 'cultural genocide' against native people & large scale ecological destruction, This includes tar sands sludge as well as mega-hydro which is flooding many thousands of square miles of wilderness. This importation makes Americans accomplices to Enviromental Racism! & all so we can continue to waste energy!

The State Department has released its draft report on the environmental impacts of the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. This report -- written in part by firms with close ties to Big Oil -- glosses over the climate impact of the Canadian tar sands. The official public comment period ends April 22nd. So time is running out to speak up and show President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry that there is a national movement demanding they keep their climate promises. With stakes this high, there is no excuse for the White House to approve the pipeline. It's up to you and me to make sure the president and Secretary Kerry get the message: It's impossible to fight climate change while simultaneously investing in one of the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fossil fuels on the planet. And then there’s the increased risk of spills posed by tar sands oil pipelines. Last week a horrific spill in Mayflower, AR sent tar sands oil gushing down neighborhood streets. This is just a small taste of what we can expect if Keystone is approved. Submit an official comment -- this is your chance to tell the State Department and the president to get it right.

As an RN, I am very concerned about our food supply and the repercussions of GMOs. Time will tell how many lives will be adversely affected, but by then, it will be too late for many!

It's not actually OK to have ridiculously loud mufflers on a motorcycle or blast music from speakers mounted on one. These are against laws that just don't get enforced, like jay-walking or littering laws. The difference is that loud motorcycles make all of our lives a little worse.. There's even studies that show this noise can raise blood pressure. Check out this KRON4 Stanley Robers' report from 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl5-xl-Q2NQ More of that, please. Let's tell the city to enforce these laws and take this issue even a little seriously.

We call on our representatives to stop the chem. trail/geo engineering greed and destruction and hold the perpetrators of this unjust enrichment and crime against humanity and ecology, accountable.

Read the facts about GMO. Then you decide if it is right or not for there NOT to be labeling of food containing GMO. If the government will not do anything to stop the utilization they should at least let people know if GMO is in a product you are considering buying.

Local conservationists have begun an initiative to gain support from the City of Atlantic Beach and the community for the conservation acquisition of a marsh front property (Bennett’s Landing) that sits directly adjacent to Tideviews Preserve at 280 Camelia Street. This property will not only provide a new entrance to Tideviews Preserve for local citizens but it will also create a unique new pocket park in the Marsh Oaks neighborhood.

My name is Ryan Pleune. I’m a former high school science teacher from Salt Lake City, Utah. My wife is a sixth generation Utahn, and she and I have worked together to capture Utah's pioneering spirit in addressing climate change. My congressman, Rep. Chris Stewart, was recently appointed to be the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Environment in the U.S. House of Representatives. We desperately need Congress to pass legislation on climate change, and any scientific legislation regarding climate would be heard by this Subcommittee. Yet its chairman, my representative, denies that human-caused climate change has sound science supporting it, despite the fact that every major scientific institution in the world agrees that evidence for human-induced global warming is unequivocal. Here’s what Rep. Stewart said recently: “I’m not as convinced as a lot of people that man-made climate change is the threat they think it is.” When pressed by a reporter, he added “before we make any long-lasting policy decisions that could negatively affect our economy, we need to be certain that the science behind our decisions is sound.” As a science teacher, I understand that climate science is sound: climate change is not a future problem for our younger generations to solve later. It’s here, it’s happening, and it is already costing Utah and the United States. In 2012, Utah’s wildfire season was one of the worst on record, costing a total of nearly $50 million, with about $14 million paid by Utah taxpayers. If nothing is done, climate-related disasters like these are projected to grow more common and more intense, costing our residents and taxpayers even more. That's why I'm asking Congressman Stewart to not only accept the science, but to propose legislation that will connect the dots between extreme weather disasters and climate change--and that will help mitigate the effects of both. Please add your name to the petition to help deliver this message. Thanks, Ryan Pleune Forecast the Facts Member P.S. We'll be delivering the petitions at Congressman Stewart's Davis County Town Hall on Tuesday, April 2, 2013. We'll be meeting in front of the North Salt Lake City Hall (10 East Center Street North Salt Lake City, UT) at 4:30 p.m.. All are encouraged to join!

We as citizens have every right to know what is in our food. Monsanto is taking over our food/seeds for profit. They are not here to feed anyone or help anybody. Millions of dollars are lobbied to congress and other political contacts for this to happen and if we do not step up it will continue.
