How is it legal for golf courses to pollute so much? Whole ecosystems are destroyed and waterways polluted and air polluted so a few can hit a ball with a stick. Look at the cost to benefit ratio. I have health issues because I lived near a golf course. Most people don't realize that golf courses are one of the biggest polluters in our country.

The midwest is in the middle of the worst drought in a half-century, destroying crops and pushing food prices higher. Despite the drought, ethanol plants continue to waste an average of 750,000 gallons of potable water EACH every day turning corn into ethanol.

Because of a mandate, the Renewable Fuels Standard, 9% of fuel must be ethanol, so 40% of our corn goes for fuel. The UN has asked for end of mandate to relieve world food crisis. Ethanol pollutes, is less fuel efficient and costs taxpayers money. A governor must make request to EPA.

Mandate Electric Companies to "buy back at a fair price" privately generation of solar and wind electricity.

Solar Run Homes, Auto & Solar Fueling Stations for Hawaii. We have a great resource called sunshine. Let's promote what we have the most of and stop the needless waste and destruction of our natural beauty which we all depend on for the tourist based economy on this small island chain. Our scenic beauty is what we have going for us and yet it is still being laid to waist needlessly with plans for more resorts that will require more power to operate and plans for more power plants to help HELCO, our electric company supply the ever increasing demands. There are already grants available for public solar systems and low interest rates for electric cars. Lets get this into the mainstream and make it really a way of life. A new Sun Powered life.

Antibiotics are pumped into cows, chickens and pigs so they can survive in cramped, filthy feedlots and to make them grow faster. The more antibiotics our livestock eat, the more drug resistant bacteria become, putting us at risk from deadly "superbugs." Grocery stores can play a critical role to help protect public health by asking their meat suppliers end this practice. We're looking to Trader Joe's, one of the nation's more progressive grocers, to commit to selling only meat raised without antibiotics. Tell Trader Joe's to lead the way in getting animals off antibiotics! Trader Joe's has shown concern for public health by refusing to sell products that have artificial colors, trans fats or GMOs. Let's get the grocer to take the next step! Hundreds of thousands of consumers have already signed on demanding that Trader Joe's sell only meat without antibiotics. Add your name, and let's get our meat off of drugs.

It is insane that we are using a food product to fuel our cars with.Ethanol is an inefficient fuel and contributes to air and ground water pollution. It lowers fuel economy by anwhere from 5 to 40% depending on the ethanol content of the fuel and causes damage expensive parts in you engine. It doesn't reduce our dependence on imported because of the large amount of oil that goes into the growing making and shipping it..Corn uses a massive amount of petroleum based fertilizer,pesticides and fertilizer to grow it. Cellulosic ethanol is very expensive and many years away as no efficient way to make it has been developed. But now biobutanol is on the verge of mass production. Biobutanol is made from farm waste and other biomass waste such as wood chips and other waste products. Biobutanol has 95% of the energy content of gasoline and since it burns more completely than gasoline you will end up fuel economy better than gasoline alone instead of the penalty of fuel economy that ethanol has. Another side effect is a reduction in emmisions.

Petition to end the accident killing of marine species which are not targeted by removing the profit from the resulting by-catch

Gasoline is my major monthly expense. we cannot use public transportation and a car is the only way to get to work,doctors and grocery stores..As a nation we are using less fuel than ever,but the price is remaining high and fuel has become our number one export...http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2011-12-31/united-states-export/52298812/1

The proposed East West Utility Corridor from Calais, ME to Coburn Gap, ME feasibility study (postponement bill in legislature in ME) needs to have an environmental impact and a cultural Maine impact (eco-tourism, farming, retirement communities and way life should be. If you agree sign this petition.

Let's all pitch in and put an end to global warming by shutting down power plants that put polutents in the air.

With the cost of power affecting everyone and the hot dry summer affecting our atmosphere, why should the coal powered plants continue to be powered up when demand is low? Wind power should be the alternative to the dirty coal emissions used unnecessarily when demand is low.
