  • there is no such thing as clean, carbon neutral coal.
    I live in West Virginia and my states elected officials are constantly pandering to the citizens against the EPA about clean coal technologies, this just isn't true. My states people have to know the truth and consequences facing our people. The mine owners need to be held resposible for their waste instead of passing the blame.

  • One Million Carbon Neutral Car Buyers
    This petition is really an old-school boycott, masking as a pledge: let's get one million U.S. consumers to pledge not to buy a new car until they are able to buy an affordable, U.S. built car that is carbon neutral.

  • Rollin Richmond: Endorse Proposition 37
    Rollin Richmond, the President of Humboldt State University, has spoken out against Proposition 37, The California Right To Know Genetically Engineered Foods Act. He has said that "opposition to GMOs is anti-science," and describes our efforts to label GMOs as “similar to efforts of unthinking religious people to ban stem cell research." Does this describe your stance on Labeling GMOs? Tell him how you feel! The deadline to sign on to this petition is October 15th. Humboldt Label GMOs Group will be marching from the Arcata Plaza to HSU on October 16th to hand-deliver this petition asking Mr. Richmond to change his position and stand up for our right to know if we are eating GMOs. If you would like to join us, please gather with signs and smiles at the Arcata Plaza at 11:45 pm. The march will start promptly at noon. If you are on Facebook, we love RSVP's! https://www.facebook.com/events/162829630508096/

  • Ban plastic shopping bags
    The absurd amount of plastic we consume to hold anything from a pack of gum to doubled bags of groceries is untenable. There's no reason for it except the low cost to the stores. There was no plastic option not so long ago. Plastic does not devolve–it will far outlive the human species. We need to get rid of as much as we can. People buy hundreds of dollars worth of groceries at Costco with no bags at all. It's time to have political will and do the right thing.

  • Impose a Moratorium on Fracking in Illinois
    At this time the government of Illinois have begun negotiations with the oil and gas industry to allow horizontal hydraulic fracking in southern Illinois. Hundreds of towns, counties and even states have banned fracking due to the impact of hundreds of deadly chemicals penetrating the water, air and soil of areas in which fracking occurs. Research has linked fracking to many human and animal cancers and illnesses. Fracking is a direct attack on the health and well being of the people and environment of southern Illinois by big industry. Please help support this local people's struggle.

  • Car Manufacturers Must Allow US Buyers European Fuel Economy
    In Europe, vehicles get up to 78 mpg (Imperial Gallon.)...that's about 65 mpg US gallons. Ford exports vehicles to Europe with that type of fuel economy. VW imports to the US are currently not allowed to get 65mpg. This affects all of our citizens. Big oil has been in control too long.
