I am doing a senior project on Hydraulic fracturing for natual gas. It is dirty and the chemicals in this process get into our water and are harmful to us.

The air and water quality, as well as their abundance, are being threathened by foreign corporations with multi-national funding who can willfully plunder our State Lands. The return for the public is minor compared to the damage to the environment. The archaic laws underwhich these foreign companies operate with impunity were written in the late 19th century for the purpose of attracting people to the West. The intention was to lure prospectors with pick and shovel, not mega-corporations with land-movers.

We strongly encourage the Washington State Governor and State legislature to say NO to coal export trains and terminals in our state! The proposed coal exports from the Powder River Basin threaten Washington States rivers, streams, wildlife, communities and Native American sacred sites.

Improving CA's commitment to and use of green energy sources.

Polystyrene trays are not re-usable or recyclable and end up in landfills where they last for thousands of years. Polystyrene contains the toxic substances Styrene and Benzene which are suspected carcinogens and neurotoxins that are hazardous to humans. Danville Area School District should stop using polystyrene trays and switch to biodegradable or reusable cafeteria trays.

Alabama's national and state parks are now a target of the oil and gas industry. Hydraulic Fracture or "Fracking" poses a real threat to private property values and clean drinking water sources. If you are concerned, please sign this Petition and get involved now before the industry does harm as is documented in other states.

We are waiting. We have been waiting. Our Mother Earth is hurting. We want solar, wind, biomass energy and we wanted all of it 50 years ago. Enough of carbon based energy. Give us renewable energy now!

In his Sunday, March 10 column, Thomas Friedman asked Bill McKibben and his organization to “go crazy” if President Obama approves the Keystone XL pipeline. Specifically, Mr. Friedman wrote: "I HOPE the president turns down the Keystone XL oil pipeline. (Who wants the U.S. to facilitate the dirtiest extraction of the dirtiest crude from tar sands in Canada’s far north?) But I don’t think he will. So I hope that Bill McKibben and his 350.org coalition go crazy. I’m talking chain-themselves-to-the-White-House-fence-stop-traffic-at-the-Capitol kind of crazy, because I think if we all make enough noise about this, we might be able to trade a lousy Keystone pipeline for some really good systemic responses to climate change. We don’t get such an opportunity often — namely, a second-term Democratic president who is under heavy pressure to approve a pipeline to create some jobs but who also has a green base that he can’t ignore. So cue up the protests, and pay no attention to people counseling rational and mature behavior." We ask the Mr. Friedman join in any such “crazy” pipeline protests, to help bring attention to climate policy.

How can we stop or slow global warming if we keep building infrastructure that contributes to global warming. No coal in Oregon.

Rhode Island uses hundreds of millions of disposable plastic grocery bags every year, and too many of them end up in the Bay—where they can remain for generations, threatening wildlife and littering our state's most treasured places.

 Nothing we use for five minutes should pollute the Bay for our children and grandchildren. Luckily, banning disposable plastic grocery bags is a simple, effective policy to eliminate this source of pollution. In the Ocean State, we should lead on this issue.

California's investment in low-income solar programs should continue. AB 217 ensures that disadvantaged communities will benefit from the growing green economy.
