A bill introduced by Representative Tom McClintock (R-CA) would remove long-standing Wild & Scenic River protections from a section of the Merced River and allow the Merced Irrigation District to raise a dam. If passed, this bill would mark the first time in the 50-year history of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System that a river was stripped of protection in order to raise or build a dam This could flood almost a mile of one of California's last, best, free-flowing rivers for a pittance of water [~1% increase].

Senator Barbara Boxer sits on a key Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversight committee. Please urge Senator Boxer to use her oversight authority to ensure that the San Onofre nuclear reactors remain offline until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission completes its investigations. Since January 2012 the San Onofre nuclear reactors have been shutdown. Inspections revealed severe damage to thousands of steam generator tubes -- and now a recently exposed confidential report reveals that the operator, Southern California Edison, knew about significant design problems years before they were installed. Despite this now public revelation, Edison still wants to restart one of the reactors! This report exposes how Edison gambled with the public trust. Tell Barbara Boxer that San Onofre's crippled reactors must remain offline and Edison must be required to go through a License Amendment process with full public participation.

The Canadian Tar Sands are the dirtiest of dirty sources of oil -- and will cost a minimimum of $85/barrel to develope-pipe-and refine. The energy used to make fuel from Tar Sand will be almost as useless a biomass, and corn ethanol. We cannot allow greed and politics to pretent this is good for the economy or the environment. Never mind the pure arrogance of the ongoing construction of the pipeline without formal authorization or technology to refine the mess. Mr. President , please do not approve the Keystone Pipeline

Although there are a few bike paths, I think additional bike paths are necessary to accommodate the growing number of bikers on Oahu. As a pedestrian, I do not feel safe when bikes past by me on sidewalks. As a driver, I do not want to share the road with bikes. As a biker, I want a safe area outdoors where I do not interfere with pedestrians and cars while getting to my destination. If government has the funding for rail, then there should be funding for paint to add bike paths next to roads that connect the entire island. Not only would bikers benefit from safety, my proposal is indeed an environmental friendly option that would decrease traffic congestion as well as lower obesity. I am certain that more people would start biking when safety is accounted for and the image of Oahu would improve due to the popularity of biking everywhere.

These measures will put a stop to the destructive, environmental catastrophe waiting to happen if GMO crops are grown in the pristine Willamette Valley. GMO's will endanger a rapidly expanding organic food industry, 4th in the nation for sales [120+ million] and #5 in overall acreage. It will affect the Oregon wine industry as well. The Law of Unintended Consequences directly applies to allowing GMO's to be grown in Oregon. The large, negative economic impact will hurt the state, farming communities, and families.

Sharpies are sold all over the world and are tossed away after use. They are not environmentally friendly and we need to protect our planet for future generations.

Energy independence, and clean energy.

Whereas; the siting of the CPV Gas Fired Power Plant is inconsistent with the character of a residential and agricultural community. Whereas; this facility will emit several hundreds of tons of neurotoxins and carcinogens along with over a million tons of green house gases each year, causing adverse impacts upon our children and other vulnerable populations. Whereas; this facility will risk contamination to our ground water from the near million gallon fuel storage tank. Whereas; this facility will impact the air and water quality throughout orange county we demand legislative hearings on this facility. We the undersigned demand that the Town of Wawayanda Zoning Board of Appeals reject the variance application by CPV for the smoke stacks and setback. We further demand that the planning board reject this project completely. We also demand a full legislative hearing on this project.

North Carolina has just started to see the benefits of developing a renewable energy economy. Over the last five years, North Carolina ranks second, behind only California, in terms of the number of jobs created in the clean energy sector. We have a goal of getting 700,000 solar rooftops by 2030. Let's make that goal a reality by making sure Gov. Pat McCrory knows there is overwhelming support for clean energy and that we want him to help North Carolina "Go Solar!"

It's shameful how far behind other cities New York is when it comes to recycling.

More businesses, neighborhoods and municipalities are using solar energy. Yet, New Hampshire is lagging behind other Northeastern states in solar energy. It energy doesn't pollute our air, it helps create good green jobs and has no fuel costs. Governor Maggie Hassan has an opportunity to commit to getting 10,000 solar roofs by the end of the decade. We need 500 Granite Staters to send a message to the Governor by April 4th.

People are clear cutting property and leaving behind downed trees,piles of limbs and unwanted wood. Leaving behind eyesores and causing land prices to drop in the area near the cut.Some land owners don`t live near the area thats been cut so they don`t care about the way it affects others.
