Enact a moratorium on heavy metal mining in Northern Minnesota, until there is proof that it will not pollute our precious watersheds. Sulfide (heavy metal) mining produces the worst environmental pollution in our nation. Do we want to risk our forests, lakes and streams, as well as tourist economy for the profit of mining companies?

Stop fracking before its too late, We are already being poisoned

They're planning One hundred thousand wells in N.Y. alone n anyone in vicinity will have flaming faucets benzene is leaking into the ground water because oil is lighter than water and due to high pressure water w/ toxic chemicals are used in the fracturing of the rock but the problem is the chemicals r migratin up to well level n the shal breaks in straight lines so migrating oil will migrate miles from the well

We need to get rid of Nuclear energy. if you can remember the chernoyble incident of 1986 then you realize nuclear energy can not be trusted to give us power

Global Warming is a very real and present danger. Continuing on the course we are on, we are facing the extinction of 40 - 70% species when we hit +3.5* above normal average global temperatures. Unless we drastically target CO2 emissions we could see the end of humanity within 100 years. Let's make this a Global Priority instead of just another profit hurdle for large corporations! Let's finally let Science triumph over Greed.

Around the world and heavily in the United States, airplanes are spraying aluminum, barium and other agents in cloud seeding (also called Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering and chemtrails) programs. This is creating manmade floods, droughts, severe weather and global dimming. It's also poisoning the soil and making it inhospitable for crops to grow, except for genetically modified organisms that are engineered to withstand the effects created by the weather control program that poisons the soil. Until last summer, I had beautiful, healthy vegetables in my garden. This summer I had few vegetables, and they were in poor condition. The documentary film online "Why In The World Are They Spraying?" explains these devastating programs in detail.

Three recent and often cited studies declaring fracking without danger have been debunked. University backed units in two cases were either eliminated or department heads resigned/retired. A third study was called off when faculty refused to participate.

We have been working hard to stop this industry, as it damages our clean air, soil, and water.

Climate change is a reality. We need to act now to mitigate the dire effects the warming of our planet will have on the most vulnerable around the world, our children, our grandchildren and ourselves. This is a human rights and security issue on which the Obama White House must take a stronger leadership role.

Communities that have been poisoned by industry need to be cleaned up to save people.

My grandchildren, family and friends have suffered from Hurricane Sandy that should be called the "Exxon Mobil Shell, etc. Franken storm"! People in New Orleans, Italy, England, the African Congo, China, and the Philippines, etc. are suffering from huge storms, floods and droughts as a result of Global Warming, caused by carbon emissions from dirty fossil fuel burning. It is pitiable and a huge moral issue faces us: We must protest the burning of dirty energy that will destroy our habitable planet and demand that our government representatives do what is morally correct to sustain life on Earth. There is no debate about it. Time is short. All the signs are upon us. We the people must act now to develop the strong political will to save ourselves and our children from the miseries that will ensue, caused by extreme weather from global warming.

After experiencing Hurricane Sandy, a record-breaking wild fire season and severe droughts in parts of the midwest, Americans are increasingly aware of the disastrous impacts of global warming. Recent NASA and NOAA reports indicate that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations which were at 285 parts per million (ppm) or less until 1880 have increased from about 315 ppm in 1960 to present day levels of 390 ppm. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, 77% of Americans say global warming should be a priority for the President and Congress (Solutions, Winter 2013)
