Until proven scientifically that Fluoride is safe and effective for ingestion, we should not be subject to it in our water supply.

Recent studies have linked water fluoridation to a plethora of adverse health conditions. Georgia's mandate to fluoridate all public water should be repealed.

The 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.

The 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.

THE FIGHT CONTINUES: WE HAVE NOT WON - WAKE UP, MAINE! DISALLOW THE 1 MILLION CU. YDS of DREDGING IN PENOBSCOT BAY - SOON TO START FOOLISHLY Waldo County is celebrating!

Exxon does not have to and will not pay for the oil spill in Arkansas. Congress made this possible and needs pressure to change the law. Perhaps putting pressure on Exxon will help this process

We are trying to do many things to conserve and produce energy in the USA. A simple step would be to immediately lower the speed limits to conserve fuel.

The 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.

YES,I'VE BEEN AFFECTED VERY MUCH SO BY THIS WRONGFUL DUMPING

Right 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.

Here’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.org

After 46 years at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Dr. James Hansen recently announced his retirement. Dr. Hansen has been a true pioneer in raising awareness about climate change. In 1988, he was the first to unequivocally tell Congress that humans are largely responsible for global warming, and in the decades since, he has continued to make important contributions to climate science. He has also helped sound the alarm about the Keystone XL pipeline, writing that it would be “game over” for our climate. Dr. Hansen has faced censorship, attacks from Fox News, harassment from climate change deniers, and lawsuits from climate denial outfits. In the face of these challenges, Dr. Hansen’s dedication to truth and scientific integrity never wavered. He has continued to tell hard truths about the climate crisis, and he plans to continue researching, writing, and advocating in his retired life. Because of his scientific accomplishments and his bravery in the face of fierce opposition, Dr. Hansen deserves our country’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It recognizes those individuals who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” It is difficult to think of an American who more embodies that description than Dr. Hansen. Sign the petition below to express your gratitude to Dr. Hansen and to ask President Obama to award him our nation’s highest honor.
