Trader Joe's: We want meat without drugs!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.51,426 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Consumers Union

Stop EthanolIt 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.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stanley Wolff

Idaho Power should shut off coal powered plants during low demandWith 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.657 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Shirley Ealy Killam

They could do so by funding and using wind energy for their Georgia-Pacific paper and wood-products mils.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Mullen

Cancel the Las Vegas WatergrabRural Nevada is in a drought too. A natural area almost the size of Vermont will be turned into a dustbowl. And Southern Nevada neither needs the water, nor can it afford the 15 billion dollar cost. Besides; desalination would mean more water for everyone.145 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rick Spilsbury
