Federal protection has been stripped from Western wolves, and a mandate for cruelly killing them imposed.

Pe' Sla, a part of the Black Hills that is the sacred center of the Sioux people, is slated to be divided into five 300-acre tracts and sold to developers at an auction. Urge the owners to sell it to the Sioux people to maintain their holy site.

Just like so many families, our kids love the popular toys made by Fisher Price, Hasbro, & Mattel. When they play, we want them to have fun, use their imaginations, and learn. But as their parents, we can't ignore the fact that each & every plastic toy is (in a few short years) bound to spend the rest of it's life in a landfill. These toys will not be recycled because they are not designed with that in mind. They will remain on the earth forever. It's time to change.

I want to contribute to creating jobs and lowering energy waste and pollution by investing in energy efficiency for my home. To this end the Home Star and Building Star energy efficiency investment programs leverage tax rebates with private investment.

Are you tired of your highways in California looking like a dumping ground? Do you want your state to be beautiful and clean so you can be proud of where you live? Then please sign this petition that we can submit to our local and state government to make them take action and clean up our roads and highways!

Southeastern Minnesota is the home to some of the state's most stunning landscape. The "bluff country" encompasses the tourist towns of Winona, Red Wing, and Lanesboro just to name a few... It is also the home of the Root River and the Root River State Bike Trail. My husband and I put all of our savings together last year, (making the leap from Chicago, IL to rural southeastern, MN) and bought our first home last year in Lanesboro. This year we learned about the ensuing frac mining that may take place in the region. We are terribly concerned that frac sand mining has the potential to devastate and contaminate the natural beauty that drew us here to the 'driftless' region in the first place. It could also curtail our livelihood as working artists and B & B owners, along with our fellow community members' livelihood, whose work is directly affiliated with the tourism industry.

A human health disaster is unfolding in Appalachian communities near mountaintop removal coal extraction sites.Four thousand excess deaths happen annually in mountaintop removal communities. Unborn babies are subjected to horrible birth defects. cancer, and heart disease rates are shockingly elevated. For the first time ever, a bill has been introduced in Congress that would end mountaintop removal and save innocent lives. The Appalachian Communities Health Emergency (A.C.H.E.) Act is the best hope Appalachian people have for a healthy, decent future. I live with my family near such sites. Your action can save lives.

American consumers have no choice when it comes to exposing their kids and families to these chemicals. California mandates their use in products like furniture and bedding (per TB117), and suppliers typically market those same products in all 50 states. These chemicals have been linked to disorders ranging from diabetes to hyperthyroidism, and cancer. They have been found in human breast milk and most children's bloodstreams. Chemical company lobbyists have so far successfully opposed efforts to eradicate the requirement.

The resistance to overhead transmission lines is immense, and is causing delays in much needed transmission upgrades, that will improve grid reliability and damage tolerance, reduce the need for new generation, and enable much greater utilization of wind power, solar power, and locally sited small generators (such as combined heat and power generation and other home energy systems). We need the transmission upgrades, but want these new lines to go underground. We ask that the US Department of Energy make it a priority to find a cost effective way to move large transmission lines underground, and that congress find a way to incentivize underground power transmission.

We have a lot of flat roofed buildings covered in tar shingles or metal. Adding green roofing will make the building more insulated from heat and cold, and improves air quality and storm water retention. Not to mention people can perhaps enjoy green spaces in urban areas. Here is more information about this process: http://www.greenroofs.com/Greenroofs101/economic.htm

Auto makers have had enough time and made enough money. It's time all car's run 55 or 60 miles to the gallon. If we must use fossil fuels then its time the auto makers catch up, now not 10 years from now

Listening to The President's convention speech, I was horrified to hear his references to "clean coal" and new sources of natural gas. I want a Clean Energy plan that is based on clean, renewable energy.
