The rise in Asthma, Allergy sensitivities, respiratory diseases all point to the main cause - the quality of the air we breathe. All the "controls" government dictates have done little to REALLY improve our air quality. What more can be done for this State to make it the cleanest air quality area in the country?

Fracking an oil or gas well means injecting millions of gallons of fluid -- typically a mix of water, sand and chemicals -- at a pressure high enough to fracture underground rocks and release oil or gas. The practice is leaving a legacy of air and water pollution in communities across the country, and contributing to global climate change. Now, the oil and gas industry is targeting natural gas fields in the Sacramento Basin and oil fields in the San Joaquin, Santa Maria, Ventura and Los Angeles Basins. If industry succeeds, generations of Californians would pay the environmental and public health costs. Sign the Petition to let the Governor and members of the California Legislature know that you want to Ban Fracking Now!

There are over 45,000 hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, wells in Colorado -- many of which are near our homes, schools and parks. Fracking is a dangerous oil and natural gas extraction process that can contaminate our drinking water, lower our property values and harm our communities. Governor Hickenlooper needs to stand up for Coloradans and protect our state from fracking.

2.5 million dollars could be allocated to improve Bike paths in Atlanta, and the City Council is voting on this January 30th. Lets send em a few (thousand ;) emails and let them know we support this decision.

The proposed Canadian Pipeline over Nebraska's Ogallala Acquifer puts fresh water for Nebraska and additional states at risk.

Gold miners pay almost nothing to access Oregon rivers/streams to suction river bed gravels for gold. These floating gas/diesel powered motors pollute the water, the process degrades the river bed for salmon spawning, and the returning sand/gravel/mud turns the clear water muddy. Oregon taxpayers are left holding the bill for cleanup. California has banned this practice statewide.

I support legislation to prohibit fracking in California to protect our health and environment from this dangerous practice. We must end our addiction to fossil fuels before it destroys our world.

A simple answer to implimenting Green Energy

Hydrofracking is a very damaging industry in the states where it has been allowed. Many environmental issues are developing and the health of residents are at risk, as well as that of their animals and their land. New York need to make sure that all will be protected if the state decides to allow this industry to start here.

Few if any public or private entities dispose of as much waste paper as do the district post offices and public libraries. Seprating what can be recycled from trash is as much a part of doing business as insurance, bookkeeping and paying taxes,

GMO seeds/agricultural produce is causing sterility. Genetically modified seeds/produce contain no life, no nourishment, it is lethal. Monsantos, drug companies are running our country. Stand up, do the right thing for the world.

This past Wednesday night, the Portland City Council was scheduled to vote on a common sense and overwhelmingly popular measure to make sure our city doesn't spend taxpayer dollars on dirty tar sands oil for city buses, heating, and other energy needs. Tar sands oil is a new, much dirtier form of oil that ExxonMobil wants to bring into Maine from Canada through an old pipeline that goes right by Sebago Lake, where Portland gets our drinking water. But what happened was like what you'd expect from Washington, D.C., not local Portland politics. A swarm of highly paid oil industry lobbyists filled the room and the vote on the bill was delayed, giving the industry time to launch a public misinformation campaign that we're already seeing in local papers. We'll get another chance to pass this bill, but now that Big Oil is lobbying the council, we really need regular folks to make your voices heard. That's why I started a petition calling on Jill Duson, Nick Mavadones, Ed Suslovic, and the rest of the Portland City Council to stop the delays and make Portland tar sands free. Pipelines carrying this new thicker, heavier kind of oil are more prone to spills, in part because enormous pressure is needed to move it through a pipeline. Tar sands oil spills are also way more difficult to clean up because the oil is heavier and sinks. The measure to make Portland tar sands free is supported by Mayor Mike Brennan, and 18 major corporations and two other cities have already adopted the policy. Given how pro-environment Portland is, and how dirty tar sands are, this seemed like pretty much a no-brainer—until the oil industry lobbyists showed up. Ask any Portlander and they'll tell you we need to move to cleaner sources of energy. We certainly shouldn't be spending tax dollars on even dirtier sources of energy. We count on our local officials to represent us here in Portland, not corporate lobbyists from Exxon. Council members David Marshall, John Anton, and Kevin Donoghue are standing up for Portland against the oil lobbyists, but the rest of the council needs to follow their lead, stop the delays, and commit to not spending our taxpayer dollars on dirty tar sands oil.
