WE NEED TO STOP USING COAL,OIL AND GAS,AND BEGIN USING SOLAR,WIND AND WATER,AND BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.

There needs to be more input from the public on developing a comprehensive plan. This 10-point plan is a work-in-progress, with input coming in from the public through the Transition Express Campaign, initially designed from research done on educated minds focused on climate solutions.

Let's put visible, functional and aesthetically-pleasing solar panels on the south lawn of the White House! We have just four short years until a new President is sworn in, one who may not share our commitment to sustainable energy sources or honor our promise to respond to the threat of climate change! Please sign this petition, share it with everyone you know and then let's throw a big potluck in the park across the street to celebrate once our dream becomes a reality! :)

North Carolina’s water ecosystem needs protection from exploitation. PA and WY frack sites warns us that fracking for limited gas resources is not worth the price of long term public health problems.

Many slurry compositions are patented and hence the content is public record. It is tru that slight difference may make a difference in efficiency and provide a competitive advantage in extraction, and this is a legitimate argument for being maintained as "trade secrets". However, the subltleties of appropriate monitoring and regulation for protection of ari and water quality outweigh "trade secret" advantages and the loss of secretiveness will be shared in common by all producers, and they may even learn from one another more effective extraction methods and simultaneously better protect the air and water AND improve their capacity to reusse and recycle and reclaim components of the slurry and actually save money and increase profits for them all.

Utah now has the dirtiest air in the nation. It's not safe to breathe. So let's stop drilling, stop using more coal and stop refinery expansion AND STOP THE POLLUTION. Let's really go green and not just talk about it. Let's welcome Green Groups like the Outdoor Retailers...and tell the oil companies to take a hike.

Americans don't want fracking - Fracking is bad for our health, water, air and leaves wasteland in it's wake. North Carolina is perfectly situated for wind and solar which are clean and are the biggest job producers now and good for the environment and their use can help curb global warming.

I always wanted to buy land in northern "pure" Michigan to start a small farm. As I began to look closer I found that northern Michigan is full of oil and gas drilling sites many of which are fracking. I have come to know that fracking creates immense waste water as a byproduct which is pumped back deep into the ground where no one can see it. This waste water contains toxic chemicals many of which the industry refuses to disclose, and they are putting it into our water tables. Stop this environmental catastrophe before its too late.

Flame Retardants are toxic industrial products used in furniture, mattress, toys, electronics and clothes. These products are toxic and carcinogenic. Kids are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of these industrial chemicals.

I know that hydraulic fracturing in California has been ongoing for well over thirty years (30). The damage that this kind of method poses to the environment is clear. The process requires 65,000 and 600,000 gallons of water and about 750 toxic chemical compounds as additives. This process is highly toxic to the water table, which is generally at 1000 feet while the shale deposits are generally at 8,000 feet. You do the math. The result of this kind process to our environment and water is irreversible. This kind of process must be stopped and not regulated. You cannot regulate this process its far too dangerous to trust the oil and gas companies to not contaminate the water and environment irretrievably. Please say NO to any hydraulic fracturing in California..

What’s your petition about? Have you been personally affected by the issue?

Every ecosystem on earth faces unprecedented challenges. We need to act soon in bold new ways to save as much of our natural heritage as we can for future generations.. Petition the president to take action in planning and policy to save the planet's createst natural resources for our children
