In a small town in rural New Hampshire, my brother-in-law has been taking the high and low temperatures for nearly 30 years. The verdict is....the average temperatures are increasing.This year the maple sugar season was cut short when temperatures rose to summer like levels in March - just one example of many that affects New Hampshire's agriculture.

Plastic is everywhere! It's plentiful, and it can be useful. But plastic waste that is left in landfills won't biodegrade - it breaks into smaller bits that stay around for a long, long time. Some of this plastic ends up in the oceans (search for The Great Pacific Garbage Patch), and in animals like fish and seagulls. Plastic disposable items - razors, bags, packaging (think about the plastic that wraps around your vitamin bottles, candy wrappers, CD's) that aren't recyclable are never "disposed" of. But we can change that! Let's make the plastic that we dispose of either recyclable or biodegradable - keeping it out of the landfills and out of the food system. Sign this petition to ask our Governor to make all disposable plastic - from razors to wrappers - recyclable or biodegradable.

Climate change is one of the most critical issues facing the United States, and the world. The Arctic sea ice melt is at record levels and most of our country experienced extreme weather this summer, yet our Presidential candidates are saying little to nothing about how they will address this issue. The time is now. Candy Crowley must ask the candidates tough questions about how they will fight climate change.

We are all being effected by the change in climate: farmers, the food industry, utilities, the whole area of environment, animal life, the economy, it goes on and on.

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) wants to sell our public lands and pollute our air. Stand up and say no!

New Mexico’s state capital, Santa Fe, has over 300 days of sunshine a year. However, this great resource has not yet been harnessed to power our state capitol building, the Roundhouse, and its surrounding buildings. Taxpayers spend an average of $60,000 a month to power the Capitol Complex.

For decades, WE THE PEOPLE have understood how we are being controlled by the fossil fuel providers of this planet. Why haven't more of us done something to stop the gasoline industry rip off? They don't get to hear about the alternatives. The small companies and foundations are prevented from raising enough backing by governments, like ours, that are too invested in oil to allow progress to limit their income, billions through gouging us at the pumps! now you have a chance to support a solution! http://www.blogger.comblogger.g?blogID=7067089276830432670#editor/target=post;postID=411348622711191843

Indianapolis Power & Light, wants to keep this dirty and deadly coal plant operating for decades into the future. Worse yet, it wants my friends and family to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in upgrades the plant needs to continue operating. Indianapolis Power & Light is expected to make a decision about the Harding Street plant soon. Let's make sure the company knows that Central Indiana residents don't want to pay more for electricity to extend the life of this dirty coal plant, which spews air pollution right into downtown Indianapolis. According to their own website, Indiana Power & Light calls itself "an industry leader in environmental stewardship;" and their website displays intentions of going green. But pollution from its Harding Street coal plant is not green. The clean air task force has estimated the pollution to cause 76 premature deaths, 120 heart attacks and 1,300 asthma attacks each year in Central Indiana. The EPA's Coal Waste Data sheet reports that the Harding Street Station now has two hazard ponds. According to the National Inventory of Dams (NID) criteria, “high” hazard coal ash ponds are categorized as such because their failure will likely cause loss of human life. "And if Indiana Power & Light moves forward with the costly plant upgrades it is considering, Indianapolis and surrounding areas we will be stuck with this dirty air pollution for decades." We can't allow that to happen."
