We are all stewards of the earth, and it is our responsibility to take care of our land and water. Hydrofracking is inconsistent with that responsibility and should not be allowed anywhere in the State of New York.

Generating electricity from solar photovoltaics (PV) will reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in California. It will also create jobs and improve the economy of California.

NY needs to utilize its pristine land & water to create long term jobs in Organic Sustainable Farming and Green Energy > not Fracking. We live on food > not gas & oil. It is time all realize this simple truth which no one can deny and start the process of saving our existence before it is too late. We are at the point of no return and if we do not choose the right direction, life as we know it will end ! Be a true leader and do the right thing for NY and the entire planet. Send a clear message to the rest of the world that to survive, this is the direction we all must take.

Florida's aquifer is being drained at an alarming rate that is unsustainable in the long term. We must act now to protect the supply of fresh water that is vital not only to Florida's ecosystem but also the economy.

The FDA is poised to approve genetically engineered salmon for human consumption. We only have until April 26th to tell them no! This salmon would be the first-ever genetically engineered animal to sneak onto our dinner plates -- and it likely won’t be labeled! Please urge the FDA to conduct a full Environmental Impact Statement that considers the dangers genetically engineered salmon would pose to wild salmon and ocean ecosystems.

GMO ingredients, food & products as well as GE engineered fish have never been adequately tested and are harmful to our & our animals health. Even though GMO's have been used for approx 20 yrs in ingredients such as corn, soybeans & wheat products - they are harmful & have not been adequately tested to prove they are not. My rabbit, cats & dogs when given food with GMO products in them right next to non GMO products will choose the NON gmo food every time!

Hydrolic fracturing, or fracking, by the gas industry, is trying to make a foothold in New York State. The process they use to extract gas from shale, deep in the earth's surface is extremely volitile, never proven safe, & effects all of us through our drinking water, food, & the air we breath. Governor Cuomo has the power to ban fracking in the entire state.

All I have to say about offshore drilling in NC/SC/VA is "VISIT THE GULF", and remember the effects of the recent BP spill there. Our offshore coast is much more prone to weather damage, ie. hurricanes & storms, making the spill possibility alone much more likely. Please do NOT consent to off-shore drilling in NC/SC/VA !!

New York City Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban plastic foam food packaging because, as he said, it is "virtually impossible to recycle and never bio-degrades." New York must deal with about 20,000 tons of plastic foam waste every year, costing taxpayers and the environment.

President Obama has been saying he wants to address climate change, but in the same speeches he says he wants to speed up the permit process for new natural gas drilling -- that means hydraulic fracturing. New York's Governor Cuomo and New Jersey's Christie have also vowed action against the cause of the severe storms that have devastated their states in recent years. I attended a FRACKED FOR REAL presentation this summer, given by three farmers from Pennsylvania all have leased land for natural gas development and regret it. They can't drink their water, their families have developed health problems, as have their livestock. The industry says natural gas has half the greenhouse gas impact as coal or oil, but recent studies show that the amount of methane released at all steps in the process show that there's no significant saving for the environment. Let's ask the president not to speed up the permit process for natural gas drilling, and instead increase investment in renewables.

"Fracking," defined empirically. The method of extracting natural gas from underground and the source of earthquakes, well and ground water contamination, open toxic waste pits, massive water consumption in a drought prone state, falling home values, vented airborne toxins and ozone depletion.

The eastern part of the United Sates is suffering drastically from floods and droughts.as well as other part of the country.
