    My petition is about clean energy in the state of IL. Clean and renewable energy would help IL strive and more enviromentally clean state to live in. We could be talking about Solar Power, Clean Garbage Burning( like what they have in Minnesota). Please promote more clean energy programs in IL. Oil, Coal, and Nuclear Energy are not very clean sources of energy in IL.

  • Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline, No to S. 582
    Construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would have detrimental impacts on American Indian treaty lands, waterways, and sacred sites. Additionally, the XL pipeline would present serious potential environmental risks to the the general well-being of wildlife, the Earth, and human health. Especially disconcerting is the threat of spills and their possible impact on the major aquifers that they may cross.

  • Permanent ban on hydrofracking in NY state
    We in Central and Upstate NY depend upon our wells for water. Our communities are rural and so widespread, we have no other water source. Fracking, no matter how "safely" it is done, releases poisonours chemicals into our ground and, then, of course, into our groundwater.

  • Plastic Grocery Bag Ban
    Plastic bags are a menace to our ecosystem. Barely recyclable, almost all of the 3,000 bags used in this country per second are discarded. Once discarded, they either enter our landfills or our marine ecosystem.

  • MN Plastic Bag Ban
    Plastic bags are a major source of pollution all around the world. They are harmful to land and aquatic wildlife and their habitats. Banning plastic bags would be a small and simple step toward reducing our crude oil consumption. Many seemingly small efforts will lead to a better future for all living creatures on earth.

    In 2011 the USDA-Wildlife Services killed four million animals in the US most intentionally using poison, firearms, steel traps, snares, and dogs. This is excessive, unnecessary and viciously cruel and is done using taxpayers money. A list of the animals destroyed by species and state is available here: http://links.causes.com/s/clJpxq?r=6oso

  • California should collect royalties from oil companies
    Other states collect royalties from companies that collect natural resources from their areas, such as Alaska, Texas, and the Dakotas. Ca would benefit by doing the same since natural resources belong to all of us

  • Please pass natural gas development in Ny
    New York State has been the poster child of delaying and trying to ban natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing with no just cause. We are tired of all the misinformation campaigns. New York State landowners and farmers are true environmentalist and have enough evidenced based science to know for a fact natural gas production can be done safely. Please support natural gas development in New York. The benefit to our state far outweighs any risk.

  • MN Legislature: Stop the Frac Sand Industry from Risking the Health of Minnesotans
    I care about this issue because of my 20 years as a public health professional and 15 years of bicycling in SE Minnesota. Numerous experts and state agencies (eg, MN Department of Health, MN Pollution Control Agency) have raised serious concerns about the potential health effects of industrial frac sand mining to nearby residents and tourists. Silicosis, lung cancer, asthma, contaminated drinking water, and increased vehicular accidents are devastating long-term consequences to risk for short-term financial gain.

  • Stop the TPP
    The Trans-Pacific Pact (TPP) is a disastrous pact between a handful of nations that is including obscene protections for international corporations to get away with anything they want. With this agreement, governments, non-profit or any entity that complains or works to resist any actions that a corporation does in nations in does business in, could be legally sued for millions and billions of dollars.
