Take Action for Water!Adena Springs Ranch wants 13+ million gallons/day of water to irrigate 10,000 acres of pasture to feed 30,000 cows. That’s more water usage than the entire City of Ocala! Right out of the aquifer that feeds iconic Silver Springs that is already suffering a 50% reduction in average flow—this project will reduce it even more. Manure and urine will pollute drinking water supplies and runoff will end up in Silver Springs and the Silver and Ocklawaha Rivers, both designated Outstanding Florida Waterways. In a presentation to the Alachua County commission, Robert Knight, the founder and director of the H.T. Odum Florida Springs Institute, a Gainesville-based nonprofit organization, said the springs that feed into the Santa Fe River, including Poe and Ginnie springs, have drained at much steeper rates than the decrease in rainfall would warrant. That, Knight said, meant the culprit was human pumping. Voice your opposition to the super consumption request and help protect our drinking water, springs and rivers!1,084 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Shirley Lasseter

Save Michigan's Great LakesWe need to ban Hydo Fracking our land for gasoline using known carcinogens that pollute not just our great lakes, but also drain and poison our many inland lakes. Hydo fracking has already proven in other states to cause serious damage to drinking water, human health, livestock and wildlife, freshwater aquifers, rivers, and air quality.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christa Melnyczenko

Pass the Safe Chemicals Act Now!Action is needed to protect American families from toxic chemicals. Early puberty, childhood cancer, infertility, and learning and developmental disabilities are rising at alarming rates. Studies show links between toxic chemicals we’re exposed to every day and many of these negative health trends. Almost all pregnant women in America contain toxic chemicals in their bodies. The laws on the books do not protect the health of our kids and families. This is unacceptable. Tell Congress to Act Now.2,316 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Pingree

Water for the WoodlandsOn Saturday, March 17, 2012 PA Representative Brian Ellis, sponsor of Act 13, publicly announced that he had brokered a deal with Wal-Mart to donate 2,000 gallons of water to the families whose well water went bad since natural gas drilling began in their rural community. Although 2,000 gallons will not last long, the community struggles to make due on a daily basis and depends on each and every gallon. Despite repeated phone calls from community members they are yet to see a single gallon of what was promised them.202 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jason Bell

Protect Our ManoominManoomin (natural wild rice) is a vital cultural, spiritual, environmental, and economic resource for the Anishinaabe people in northeastern and north-central Minnesota. As an environmental resource, healthy stands of manoomin are the barometer of a healthy ecosystem. Macroinvertebrates, vegetation, flora, fish, waterfowl, wetlands and wildlife are all interconnected in the ecosystem of manoomin. Legislation seeks to weaken the Wild Rice/Sulfate Water Quality Standard for the benefit of foreign extractive copper resource colonies to open nonferrous mines in northern Minnesota. Additional legislation weakens the permitting process and diminishes the authority of regulatory agencies at the cost of the manoomin and the environment. Lawmakers need to consider that their actions place Minnesota's State Grain (Wild Rice) at great risk - not only for the current generation, but for the generations that follow.708 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Robert DesJarlait

Dunkin' Donuts: Please Become More Environmentally-ConsciousThe Dunkin' Donuts Company seems to have very little environmental awareness. They solely use disposable plastic and styrofoam utensils and containers, and some facilities do not even house a recycling bin! We urge them to stop creating thousands of pounds of waste each day, and instead, resort to reusable, recyclable and biodegradable methods and manufacturing.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Reebeca Canmouise

Fire Secretary of the Interior Ken SalazarMany species, wilderness areas and natural resources are being jeopardized due to Secty. of the Interior Ken Salazar's actions. His record is worse than any administration's appointee in history. To protect our natural resources and help Pres. Obama's re-election, this poor choice must be replaced.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by E. Berman
