Magazines insert several pieces of paper in every issue, not only newstand issues but subscribed issues. At the least these multiple inserts are annoying and wasteful. At the most tons upon tons of paper are tossed--and trees destroyed--for these redundant and unwanted inserts. We are asking all magazines (especially those who claim to be scientifically, health, and environmentally oriented) to stop using these inserts.

China dominates the rare earth element market. Rare Earth Elements are critical to high tech items (smart phones/tablets, ect)The US needs to re-start its rare earth element mines but a solution must be provided for the Thorium by-product. The best solution to this problem is to use Thorium in the next generation of nuclear reactors. The US explored this area but stopped in the early 1970 because Thorium reactors make no bomb material. In addition Thorium reactors use passive safety not active safety as is used in Uranium reactors. We need to have an adult disscussion of future energy policy, because the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow, we need a third option which does not include carbon.

Clean Energy Victory Bonds would extend proven government programs that create clean energy and jobs, including the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit, for a decade. The funds raised from the bonds would also help homeowners make energy efficiency upgrades to their homes and purchase plug-in and electric cars.

The Republicans have stated that we need to be energy independent, but then want to export our non-renewable energy supplies.

Energy companies that are pulling out natural gas using hydraulic fracturing leave behind known cancer causing chemicals. These companies need to justify the use of these chemicals in the process and be held accountable when this time bomb goes off.

THERE ARE 25,000 USES FOR INDUSTRIAL HEMP.

We are concerned that Trader Joe's, such a huge supplier of foods to ours and many other communities, does not follow as much sustainable guidelines as it should. I recently stopped buying milk there due to it going from cartons to plastic, which uses petroleum and is much worse for the environment. They reach a lot of people and can be a good example of more sustainable business practices. It really counts when you're so big

The poison this fossil fuel emits effects us all. No matter Where we live, it will harm us.

The Archer Braid has been in the planning process for many years, but now some special interests in Haile Plantation are trying to move the trail and not connect this diverse community of 10,000 residents. This trail is in the public right of way and many in Haile support the trail, but the combined HOA boards are working to move the trail outside of neighborhood. This trail is an amenity that would increase safety, connect people with businesses, work and recreation, and would contribute to the overall health of the community.

The Koch Brothers have spent untold millions to elect and keep Gov Walker, and are holding secret meetings with Sen Rojo the Clown.
