University At Buffalo's and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus's 2020 plan is to systematically gentrify the McCarley Gardens and Fruit Belt neighborhood, not to mention imminent domain and land banking. The residents have no say in what happens to them. The tenants of McCarley Gardens face displacement due to UB's attempt to purchase the property from Oak Michigan Development Corp. (an arm of St. John Baptist Church). The city of Buffalo gave control of their properties to this Corporation in the Fruit Belt causing health problems and damage to properties as a result of the construction work. Also, the employees of the Campus are parking four blocks into the Fruit Belt, therefore leaving no parking space for the residents. They have four more building projects which means additional parking and construction issues.

We have had "right turn on red" for many years to save fuel. We need to further reduce fuel waste and idling pollution by reducing the restrictions on left turns. When ever reasonable "left turn on arrow only" should be changed to "left turn yield" at intersections that do not have sufficient oncoming traffic to warrant the restriction.

We need to move treatment plant from school areas.

THE LANDSCAPE AND WASTE FACILITY ON PETER BAKERS PROPERTY

Our names are Leyla and Liza and we are 10 years old. If constructed, the Keystone XL pipeline will carry one of the dirtiest fuels, tar sands oil, which emits three times more greenhouse gases than conventional gasoline production. It will cause earth, air and water pollution and destroy the lives of people, animals, and our precious land. The pipeline will travel more than 1,700 miles through farmland and fragile ecosystems. In the last decade we have had over 2,500 oil spills. Our planet needs our help, please stop the worst climate bomb in world history from exploding. Save the earth for our generation.

We shouldn't have nearly as much plastic

Right now, many of our every day products -- like clothing, shampoo, furniture, baby bottles, and electronics -- contain toxic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, learning disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, birth defects, and asthma. This is unacceptable. The stores we shop at should be watching out for us by asking their suppliers to keep toxic chemicals out of their products. But they won’t do it unless we make them. Please sign our petition asking the ten biggest retailers to protect our health and our families by keeping toxic chemicals out of their products!

Leaf blowers are bad for our ears and bad for the ground. The dust that we breath from leaf blowers contains, toxins, pollens, fecal matter, particulates and more. The organic material that should be on the ground is now in our air, in our lungs, on our homes and on our cars.

Street trees around California are reaching their lifetime limit; they are falling over, buckling sidewalks and streets causing costly fixes for municipalities that don't have the funds to repave; most are not drought tolerant. Let's encourage local officials to plant trees that can provide useful lumber, beautiful hardwood, flooring and siding and bring all the profits back to the city. Just as owning your own chickens allows you access to fresh eggs, so can buying lumber from your city give you fully sustainable access to building material without buying from a clear cut PLUS supporting your city.

PA DEP TO APPROVE ANOTHER SHALE GAS POWER PLANT We're calling on you to ensure that the Berks Hollow Power Plant does not proceed before we get the public hearing we deserve. PA DEP is about to issue an air quality permit for a huge source of air pollution in Berks County - a natural gas power plant. This plant will emit many tons of volatile organic compounds and other harmful pollutants as well as methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Air pollutants from the plant and the station harm the health of nearby residents, create smog, and accelerate climate change. Pennsylvania continues to approve permits for large natural gas facilities at an alarming rate.

There is a growing concern among cabin and lot owners at Cathedral Mountain Ranch that the common grounds, including the ponds and lakes, are being permanently altered by actions of the current CMRA Board of Directors without input from all CMR cabin and lot owners. Existing and proposed changes will leave the land and lakes open to serious unsightly erosion and permanent damage.

We put solar panels on our roof 4 years ago and love having no electric bill.
