SKAGIT COUNTY FREE GMOSan Juan county just became the first in our state to become GMO free. Farmers united with locals to make it so. If we do not protect the integrity of our farms, we cannot insure the safety of our children's futures. GMO's are a corporate intrusion we cannot afford. Let's make Skagit County the second GMO free county!355 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Sue Shellenberger

Urge L.A. City Council to Clean Up Our Waste and Recycling SystemL.A.’s landfills are overflowing, half our city can’t recycle and dirty waste trucks are polluting our communities. All this can change – but only if you demand that city leaders take action. They need to hear from you, because waste companies, landlords, big business and their lobbyists that make a killing off our current dirty system are doing everything they can to prevent change. A majority of our councilmembers already have pledged their support for the solution that’s best for Los Angeles. But the pressure is on, and there are five council members who need to hear from all of us before November 14. Please tell City Councilmembers Tom LaBonge, Paul Krekorian, Herb Wesson, Joe Buscaino and Jose Huizar to vote YES on an exclusive franchise for L.A.’s commercial and multifamily waste system. It's up to us to ensure that special interests don’t bully our city leaders against moving ahead and doing the right thing.461 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Dont Waste LA

Small Wind Encouraged for Henderson, NYSmall wind systems for private owners have been proven effective to reduce dependence upon commercial electricity. Small wind systems which are approved by NYSERDA should be allowed anywhere in town where they can be placed their height away from the public. The Zoning Ordinance should be minimal and simple, to encourage the use of small wind systems, to increase individual prosperity, independence and self-sufficiency. Please send a hard copy of your signed petition with printed name and address and phone number to the Town of Henderson, Town Barn Rd, Henderson, NY 13650 to validate your support.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sherret Chase

"Mayor Quan: Keep Oakland Beautiful"I recently moved to East Oakland; very close to Wattling Street and 39th Avenue. I am very concerned about the amount of dumping that goes on here everyday. People think this is a free place to dump car parts, old car fluid containers, broken furniture , home and general trash. This is a true blight to the neighborhood and unhealthy for all who live here. Please install no dumping signs here and set up some kind of plan to enforce the signs and fine those who are illegally dumping this terrible garbage.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chrissie Cooney

Climate changeWe have long passed the point where we can actually prevent some of the adverse affects of climate change such as rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and large storms, but we may be able to slow it enough to adapt.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susan R. Schnur

Stop the Madness! End Daylight Saving TimeSome have said that they enjoy the extra hour of sunlight that Daylight Saving Time provides. However, you can’t cut the bottom off a blanket and sew it to the top to make it longer! We will have more sunlight in the summer regardless of what the clock says. Daylight Saving Time disrupts our natural rhythms, and studies have shown that when we change the clocks, there are more car accidents, more heart attacks, and more energy use. This archaic practice is useless and irrelevant in modern times, since we use computers, televisions, and even artificial lighting during daylight hours. Let’s stop accepting this madness and do something to end it!
