water pollution for the midwest.

We care about our community. Kirkland/Juanita communities have wonderful, comprehensive recycling/composting programs....why isnt Starbucks doing it's part? they need to have recycling/composting containers in their stores?!

I do not have any statistics on this. I can only imagine the tonnage of waste daily from printing receipts that never get used. Receipts should be on request only.

As a young adult, I've lived in a lot of apartment complexes and worked in a lot of restaurants. None of them have had recycling centers on the premesis! I know a lot of people my age care about the environment and try to recycle, but what do you when your job forces you to throw away literally tons of recyclable materials like styrofoam and glass bottles? Or your nearest recycling center is ten miles away, instead of a few hundred feet like the apartment complex dumpster? I think for us to start planning a greener future we need to make recycling more accessible- put receptacles in restaurants and apartment complexes!

Chickens are currently allowed on properties that are at least 1 acre. However, by allowing backyard chickens on smaller lots, wholesome, cage free eggs will be more readily accessible. Children will learn responsibility and chickens will help with the daily chores such as getting rid of kitchen scraps and yard waste, and pest control.

Sixth Extinction Event we are well into now.

We have allowed other countries lower wages, a lack of workers safety and disregard for the environment to be our Achilles tendon for too long and it's time to real that in and balance the economics of all workers in the world for stability.

Gas-powered lea fblowers are illegal in Ojai, yet they are used by the City Hall itself. It's time to take back the tranquility of our neighborhoods: Ban the Blowers!

In order to stay safe and warm when the I-5 interstate mountain freeway to California is not passable due to snow and ice, semi-truck drivers leave their motors running through out the night in the parking lot beside our local Ashland Oregon Shop 'n Kart just off exit 14. Like many local Ashland residents, My daughter and I live less than a block away, and I regret to report that we can smell diesel fumes and hear their engines rumbling durring these hazardous traveling times. Unfortunately however, the nitrogen oxide (NOx) adsorbers, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide released when burning diesel gasoline hovers in the air in our neighborhood, due to the weather trapping effect called an inversion layer, which is a common event in Ashland Oregon. We must require resting semi-truck drivers to shut off their engines after 10 minutes.

I'm not smart enough about electric vehicles to write this petition, to 'argue' it. But for obvious reasons it would provide a key tipping point to a renewable energy future if the United States Postal Fleet, all the mail trucks therein, went electric.

These supposed food items are hazardous to nature, to people, to birds & animals, to the environment. This frankenfood needs to be permanently banned from our food supply.

I think it ridiculous that I must sign petitions if I don't want "so and so" removing mountaintops, drilling in the Arctic or if I want protection for a certain species or region... etc. This system is backwards! For example, Big Oil should be required to submit millions of signatures of people saying, "Go ahead- drill in Alaska, pollute waterways, destroy the polar bears' natural habitat."
