• STOP, Toxins (Poisons) in our Homes, Schools and Workplaces
    My family has suffered debilitating ill health, by hazardous indoor air pollutants from our water damaged home! Millions of individuals and families are harmed by contaminants. Billions of dollars could be saved. We must address steps of improving indoor air quality in U.S. buildings. Our health should be our #1 top public health issue. The damage of sick, water damaged buildings lead to slowly deteriorating disease, while others can bring DEATH, quickly!

  • New CFS Report Exposes Devastating Impact of Monsanto Practices on U.S. Farmers
    I believe many of my health issues and those of a huge amount of Americans can be traced back to when the crops started to be put in and our food started to be sold as a boutique product - instead of good healthy food by the Greedy Corporations ... Then everyone wants to blame the fat Americans and their health problems and cut costs...Vicious Cycle...

  • Preserve, Protect and Enhance Englewood
    Norfolk Southern is proposing to expand its 47th Street Terminal rail yard in Englewood. The 47th Street Terminal doesn’t just handle rail but is an intermodal facility where freight is transferred from rail to trucks and vice versa. This will increase the size of the yard by 57 percent. It will also cause a significant increase in the number of trucks in and out of the yard. The project expansion would increase the amount of diesel soot going into Englewood’s air, worsening an already serious problem with air quality and asthma in the Englewood community.

  • Stop the attack on wind energy in Kansas
    Throughout the country, fossil fuel polluters and their right-wing allies like the American Legislative Exchange Council are working to roll back clean energy policies in a brazen attempt to halt our progress and protect their dirty profits.1 The latest attack is threatening Kansas's rapidly expanding wind power industry. The State Senate Committee on Utilities will soon consider an ill-conceived bill that would roll back Kansas's highly successful renewable energy standard, setting the state's clean energy economy back by four years. Senate Bill 82 would jeopardize Kansas's 12,000-employee wind power industry and could put a stop to new clean energy investments in the state.3 We need to speak out now to make sure Kansas remains one of the country's leaders in wind power. The attack on wind energy in Kansas is part of an orchestrated effort by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a secretive conservative group known for attacking clean energy laws and pushing voter-suppression schemes nationwide. ALEC is a powerful player in Kansas Republican politics, with both Senate President Susan Wagle (R-Wichita) and House Speaker Ray Merrick (R-Stillwell) on its board of directors. At least four of the 11 members of the Committee on Utilities -- Forrest Knox, Julia Lynn, Ty Masterson and Mike Petersen -- are formally affiliated with ALEC. Tell the Kansas State Senate Committee on Utilities: Stop the attack on clean energy in Kansas.

  • Colorado: Implement a tax on irresponsible packaging.
    I am consistently shocked to see how inefficient and wasteful our packaging of goods is. The value ratio of product to packaging is often obscene, and the quantifiable nature of the effects of excessive packaging, and its resulting ill effects on business efficiency, environment, and national welfare gives consumers and producers a tangible incentive to invest in responsible products. Due to the ubiquitous nature of the issue, any initiatives will quickly extend benefits to all environmental, social, business, and governmental spheres.

  • make the environment a priority
    Clean air and reuse-recycle need to be made priorities in this state. Much of what needs to happen can first be addressed through education. The people of this state need to be taught and made aware of how their actions impact our air and our environment. Cigarette butts with filters DO NOT decompose! Put them in their proper place! Don't drop them on the ground as litter. DON'T LITTER! DON'T IDLE. As your car sits and idles it continues to spew unwanted fumes into our already polluted air. have mixed use recycle through trash collection which includes glass! All glass! Educate public about what can and can not be recycled!!!

  • Ban Leaf Blowers in Residential Neighborhoods
    Pollution is a huge environmental issue in the Phoenix metro area, and significantly affects community and individual health. The EPA notes that a single gas-powered leaf blower emits as much chemical pollution per year as 80 cars. Further, leaf blowers do nothing to remove neighborhood debris; they merely blow one yard's waste into neighboring yards. In the process, leaf blowers generate noise pollution and stir up mold, dust, and pollen, contributing to asthma and other respiratory and cardiovascular problems. We need to take a stand against the use of leaf blowers in residential neighborhoods, where they are unnecessary to the upkeep of small yards and impact our children.

  • Mr. President: End Arctic Drilling Now
    Shell Oil announced that it will not resume its oil drilling efforts in the Arctic. While this is not a promise to drop its goal of putting oil platforms in the wild, remote Arctic, it is an admission by Shell that their plans are fraught with problems.
