There is currently a lack of economic incentive for individuals and small business owners to recycle in Colorado. As a result, many recyclables get sent to local landfills, our landfills fill up faster, and we take up more land--a limited resource--to deposit our waste. Also, the process of creating new containers requires more raw resources and energy than recycling old ones. Many states have successfully and effectively implemented container-deposit legislation and it is time that Colorado follows this precedent.

I am a Wolf Advocate, I would like to get the Wolves back on the list to be protected,they do not deserved to be treated with so much hateful cruelty,this is important not just to me and others it has to do with what is fair and right. They and all wildlife is important to earth to help keep everything balance.If the animals don't survive we won't either.

Let's get solar energy generation going strong

Save Colorado Water, stop fracking

As a member of my local land trust, I have seen properties of significant conservation values turn into huge housing developments for lack of funds to preserve them.

It's saddening that there are only a handful of states that have implemented Bottle Bills. Virginia needs to encourage a cleaner and greener environment. For more info visit: http://www.bottlebill.org/

The US uses 25% of the world's natural resources but our recycling rate nationally is deplorable. We can do better and be the example fr our children and the rest of the world. By having a deposit in and and bottles, people will be encouraged to recycle and our public places will be free of this sort of debris, as there will be a financial incentive for people to pick up this 'trash.'

These are amazing animals and killing them is wrong.We need to educate the farmers and the Legislature.

The time to act on climate change is now. We need leadership from Congress and the President to put a price on carbon and enact other measures to dramatically reduce our carbon output.

Oakland's local independent businesses create the most good jobs in our community and keep Oakland interesting and unique. Making a conscious effort to shop with Oakland Grown businesses & artists this holiday season (and all year!) means more jobs, parks, libraries and public safety as well as the unique and creative neighborhoods we love. Also, it's FUN!

North Carolina has more potential for offshore wind than any Atlantic state. Combine that with our world-class research institutions and existing green energy incentives, and North Carolina can chart a clean energy future, with offshore wind at the forefront. The first step in charting our future in offshore wind is for North Carolina’s leaders to support extending federal tax incentives vital for both onshore and offshore wind power production. The coal and oil lobby is urging Congress to let these tax credits expire, which would mean the loss of 37,000 jobs along with increased pollution. That is why Environment North Carolina is calling the state’s leaders to take advantage of North Carolina’s offshore wind potential by supporting extending the wind energy tax credit. It’s time to make history, again.

Removing fresh water from the Delta will cause a collapse of the fisheries, destroy Delta farmland, degrade the drinking water of Bay Area residents, create a polluted mess for boaters, waterskiers and other water enthusiasts. This is a water grab by special interests in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California. Now they want the legislature to do what the people rejected at the polls. Help us save the California Delta - the largest freshwater estuary West of the Mississippi, critical to the Northern California environment (the most important biological asset on the west coast, home to 750 species of fish, birds and other animals), recreation, local Delta farmers and the Delta economy. Water exports have increasingly affected Delta water quality, resulting in a salmon fishery closure in 2008/2009 with significant economic losses, all to benefit the desert farmland's big agribusiness millionaires. I live on the Delta part time and love it - it's my backyard. Current plans will cause the demise of salmon and other fish and fowl and will harm the Delta economy and the health and quality of Delta water. That's why I signed a petition to Governor Jerry Brown the entire California legislature; Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein; Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives; Bay Area Congressman George Miller; and President Barack Obama.
