Nestles was stopped from putting a bottling plant in Oregon 3 years ago and now they are back. It seems that Oregon Fish and Game isn't hearing the peoples voice and are determined to allow Nestle to place a plant near the gorge to pump out water from the Columbia River. The issues are threefold: We have no idea how climate change will impact the country's drought and thus food chain. Secondly, Nestle's has an awful stewardship around the world and for adhering to the quantities negotiated for bottling. Finally using their corporate might and monies tying up states and countries in court, often coming close to bankrupting those states. See historical data of Florida and Michigan. Bottling water is environmentally irresponsible and it is questionable whether it is the states right to sell the people's water.

There are more than 27,000 wells in the US and each well uses 1-8 million gallons of water and 80-300 tons of chemicals each time it's fracked (wells can be fracked up to 8 times). The fracking industry remains exempt from Clean Water, Safe Drinking Water and Clean Air Acts, hazardous waste disposal and other federal regulations. This is absurd! Please help keep our water safe!

Hydraulic Fracturing is a dangerous thing Think of all the dangers it brings Gas drillers make money and if we frack New York our water will be ruined.

According to a study conducted by a consortium or nations, studying the claims made by Monsanto that genetically engineered seeds will be drought resistant, will creater higher yields, as well as pest and weed control. These ge seeds underperformed in yield and pests and weeds appear to be have better adaptive properties than the genetically engineered crops.www.centerforfoodsafety.org. GMO-Emperor-final-10-11.pdf

Our tax dollar money being given to environmentalist groups which in turn they use to sue the Federal Government, groups, and individuals.

So many lives have been taken by the effects of climate change. The consequence of our insufficient action is a threat to all of us worldwide.

The current moratorium on oil and gas exploration, drilling and extraction within San Miguel County will expire on February 13, 2013 (UPDATE: The vote was pushed to March 12). The moratorium must be extended until the fall of 2014. In 2011 Congress has tasked the EPA to conduct a study of the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") on drinking water resources. This study is scheduled to be completed and available during the first half of 2014. Given the drought conditions in San Miguel County and New Mexico in general and the potential risks from fracking to our limited sources of fresh water that are vital for residential and agricultural use, the current moratorium on oil and gas exploration, drilling and extraction within San Miguel County must be extended until the fall of 2014.

Oregon Department of Agriculture has approved 2,500 acres of GMO canola in the Willamette Valley. Many Oregonian are upset and want their voice to be heard on the subject. That is why I created this petition, as simple reminder for all our elected officials that Oregonians want to ban GMOs.

We are being poisoned by the foods we are being offered in our stores. Through the Genetically Modified Organisms we are being poisoned. This particularly affects children through their health and behaviors.

This petition in short is my own personal attempt to save America from itself and allow our nations wildlife and habitat to forever thrive under this constitutional amendment which I hope to have help incorperating into the Endangered Species Act, which is the only soverign voice that nature has among our laws to ensure it endours this age of industrialized expansion of capitolism. I want to ensure that our free market remains in tact allowing local businesses the right to affectively compete and prohibiting excessive corperate franchise expansion to areas that must be protected. It would also aid in teaching us as Americans that we must use our freedoms to build our homes and lives within the balance of nature, instead of us whining over such inconviences like local habitat and wildlife which might get in the way of our hunting hobbies, or golf courses. It's time to live responsibly and freedom and pursuit of happiness should extend past our own species, to the rest of earth's creations.

At a time when climate change threatens continued life on the planet, UCSF plans on removing 30,000 trees from San Francisco's Mount Sutro. Take Action! Contact the Governor, the California Board of Regents, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. If they do not respond, take to the streets! Save Our Planet (S.O.P.)!

With community encouragement, our county recently turned down an offer to use fracking waste (undisclosed toxic chemical waste from hydrofracking) as de-icing 'brine' on our roads. Our water source, a well, is about 6 feet from the road. Chemicals used on our roads can stick to our shoes and run-off into our water sources. Legislation and oversight of this practice needs to be immediate and strong, yet doesn't yet exist. Let's get it started.
