We need to convince Governor Cuomo to keep the gas companies out of New York because fracking will ruin our water supply as it has done in Pennsylvania. My friends in rural Pennsylvania can't run their taps at all. New York should stand strong against the gas companies and protect our most valuable resource: clean water for every citizen of this state.

The Beethoven Playground is heavily used by both the school and the community. In the past 2 years of bringing my children there on a regular basis I have seen too many children trip on the curbs, nearly fall off the tall play structure, eat the wood chips and disappear behind the bushes. Improvements need to be made to make it a safer and more enjoyable place for our kids to play.

The US Dept of Energy (DOE) plans to dump 14,000 tons of radioactive scrap metal into the marketplace for use in the manufacturing of consumer products, such as zippers, belt buckles, eyeglass frames, jewelry, watches, silverware, toys, pet bowls and leashes. This action is being fast-tracked, with little regard for public comment. Source: http://www.huntingtonnews.net/63589 http://consortiumnews.com/2013/02/04/recycling-radioactive-metals-disputed/

Consumers 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.

Dear 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.

Quit blocking solar and wind power in Ohio.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels will accelerate detrimental climate change and contribute to ocean acidification. Grays Harbor should be a leader in innovative clean industries and trade.

I 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.

Urge you all to vote to bring the F35 Resolution Bill to the floor for a vote. Sensibly ask that burlington VT. be removed from the list of potential bases by the USAF due to Vermonters concerns about environmental, economic, health, and safety impact from the F-35 fighter jets.

Please here me this product is not only harmful to our automoble engines; but is causing the consumption of food products in a needless manner!

I am a fish biologist, I do most of my research in mining and fish.
