Take Back the Tap at ClarkWe are a group of students working to ban the sale of bottled water on the Clark Univeristy campus. -Bottled water creates unnecessary waste; 86% of bottled water ends up in landfills. - Bottled water is typically more than a thousand times more expensive than tapped water. - The PET plastic used to produce bottled water is produced using the chemical benzene which is correlated with the development and other health problems. Please sign the following petition to show your support and make a difference on our campus. Thank you233 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tiffany Kline

A Costly Bill Putting Our Economy and Rivers at RiskCongressman “Doc” Hastings introduced legislation that would stop river restoration in communities nationwide, hurt local economies, and strip away wildlife protections all to benefit a handful of special interests. This “Dangerous Dams Protection Act” would do sweeping damage to rivers across the country. It would: * Harm rivers and wildlife and threaten public safety by prohibiting federal funds to be used to remove or study the removal of any hydropower dam - even unsafe dams that the dam owner and the local community want to remove. * Slow job growth and hurt businesses by bringing river restoration to a screeching halt and stopping growth in commercial and recreational fishing. * Create an expensive new subsidy that would not only allow private groups to build new dams, whether or not they are in the public interest, but taxpayers would have to reimburse the full cost. This irresponsible bill could be up for debate this month. Will you tell your Representative to oppose this destructive vision for rivers and hydropower – one that is at odds with mainstream thinking about hydropower policy?224 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jeff Wiedner

Chicago Clean Energy PledgeOur Clean Energy Pledge is asking registered Chicago voters to vote YES on the referendum in Chicago for Community Energy Choice. The referendum if passed will authorize the city to pool residential electricity demands and negotiate a better energy package. Like other Illinois cities, Chicago could ask suppliers to provide them with clean, renewable energy. This will be on the Nov. 6th ballot in Chicago.166 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Christine Nannicelli

The EnvironmentAll year, in my own backyard the weather has expressed itself differently than years before. More people in my office have respiratory problems. I fear that the collateral damage that will come from not doing enough for the environment will be more than anyone bargained for- from any other human decision in history- and will occur in our own lifetime.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Margaret Linn

Climate changeOur planet is faced by very rapid global warming and other changes in climate. These changes are the direct result of careless human activities that include deforestation, fossil fuel burning, pollution with particulate matter, increased CO2 in the atmosphere and other factors. As a society, we need to address this issue immediately, and the lack of discussion of this serious problem by either campaign is detrimental to our nation's well-being.100 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Yan Linhart
