Nevada's Right To Know Genetically Engineered Food ActConsumers have the right to know whether the foods they purchase were produced with genetic engineering. Mandatory identification of foods produced with genetic engineering can provide a critical method for tracking the potential health effects of consuming foods produced through genetic engineering.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jo

Emmision controlsDear Governor Hickenlooper: I was driving back home from the doctor’s office and ahead coming toward me was a cloud of smoke. It must be a car on fire, I thought. I wasn’t; it was a small truck with a billowing cloud of emission engulfing all the surrounding vehicles and heading in my direction. Commercial vehicles are exempt from emissions control; ostensibly our state does not want to hurt business. Breathing dirty air is not hurting business, businesses can and do thrive when work is to be done. This means more businesses and more workers. Our choice is whether we spend money on health care, treating respiratory problems (I am sure there are many other health problems caused by breathing in foul exhausts) or whether we choose to spend money on emission testing and pollution controls. How can we even think we are creating a healthy business climate when we are creating a sickly citizenry, since businesses exist for all of its citizens how does this benefit business? We all breathe in the same air. Isn’t it easier and less costly to transplant vehicle parts than it is to transplant lungs, hearts, and minds? It is less costly for all involved to control all emissions.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Denise conrad

Stop Sunrise Coal From Opening Bulldog MineI live in Homer, IL and Sunrise Coal, LLC would like to open a room and pillar mining operation in Vermilion County and part of Champaign County. Sunrise would like to purchase their water (max 20,000 gallons of potable water per day and 500,000 gallons of non-potable water per day) from Homer IL, or an alternative source Sunrise claims to have. The purpose of the water that is being requested would be for showering as well as washing the extracted coal to render it saleable to an unknown source. The chemicals and waste from this process will be stored in a permanent slurry pond located on the mine property. The potential for any number of catastrophes to happen is unmeasurable. There are very few in the Village of Homer that want this, in addition to a large portion of farmers whom are opposed from the surrounding area that would be negatively affected from subsidence, air pollution, or well pollution. The IEPA has shown time and again that it cannot keep up with enforcing regulations, illustrated by the ongoing pollution in Murdock, IL. Stopping this mine all together with help from the State would bring the entire State of Illinois closer to keeping our water, air, and land free from harmful pollutants for generation to come.753 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Susan Forsyth

Ban Fracking for all of NY StateListen to our neighbors in Pennsylvania who have had their water, air, land and home values ruined for decades to come to know we must not allow fracking in NY State. Protect our health, organic farming, wine industry and our economy. The process of fracking contributes more CO2 to the atmosphere than coal production. We do not want another devastating "Sandy" storm.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gloria Foster

Establish Texas Beverage Container Deposit and Redemption CentersI have seen way, way too many plastic water bottles and other beverage containers in Texas streams, creeks, bayous, bays, and gulf, including a plastic water bottle stuck in the throat of a pelican skeleton. These wastes are actually valuable resources that can be reused, if collected and returned to various industries. Beverage container deposits have proven to be an effective incentive to return these materials to the market place. It's time for Texas to take advantage of this "nest egg" on the ground!1,034 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Stennie Meadours
