no indivual or coop should be able to withdraw more than a 1,000 gallons of water per day.

If the wolf is to survive, the wolf haters must be outnumbered. They must be outshouted, out financed, and out voted. Their narrow and biased attitude must be outweighed by an attitude based on an understanding of natural processes……David L. Mech

The tsunami-damaged nuclear power plants did not heal. In fact, they are dripping toxic waters which are being recirculated through and stored in a four story structure which, under normal circumstances , would have been torn down as a hazardous building. COSTS TOO MUCH TO REPAIR, says TEPCo... and guess what, the CEO resigned May 20 to "take the responsibility for the profit losses " with him. And they STILL are dragging their feet on restoring the structure as an ETERNAL GARBAGE CAN OF NUCLEAR WASTE...

We moved forward by banning all nuclear explosions to protect the integrity of our atmosphere. The cat came back, through the back door, and it is even bigger and more dangerous. Fukushima for example has polluted the atmosphere, our lands and food chain more than multiple nuclear explosions -- and the pollution continues day by day. There are 400 nuclear reactors all over the world and most are old and prone to failure. They are constantly getting in trouble. Nuclear reactors can bring down our civilization faster than global warming. We need to dismantle them ASAP. A solar flare can interrupt electricity supply to hundred of this monsters. That could be the end, of the human specie. Solar flares like this come about every hundred years, and they are overdue. This type of risks to protect an industry are unacceptable. Nuclear energy is no more than 6% of all the energy we produce, and we can do well without it. Japan has 47 of its nuclear reactors in standby and still functions quite well. Let us stop this. Let us dismantle and decommission them completely.

Pennsylvania State Parks are at risk of being closed due to lack of funding from the State. Here is a way to save our parks. Please sign this petition and pass it along if you agree!

Tired of taking your recyclables a mile away just to recycle them? Communities and Apartment complexes should provide recycling facilities on property if they provide Trash pick up. It shouldn't cost any more to recycle and it is important to do! Some cities charge for not recycling, this needs to be the norm everywhere!

Too many glass bottles are being thrown onto the streets, sidewalks, and bike paths. This causes not only flat bicycle tires from glass shards cutting into the tires but also injury to children's feet. A bottle law coerces people to trade in those glass bottles for cash instead of the throwing the bottles in the street where they are being a danger to children and bicycle riders. California, Oregon, and other states have this law and so should Arizona.

The Woodbury Common Premium Outlets are one the highest volume outlets in the country. Located in the beautiful Hudson Valley, it's a mere 50 miles north of New York City. The campus is visited by tourists from all over the world on a daily basis. There are over 200 stores with the works of adding more, yet there is not 1 recycling bin in the whole center. There are dumpsters provided for cardboard and paper behind the stores but not for the customers. The garbage bins are constantly overflowing with shopping bags and plastic bottles. These outlets are still thriving during these economic times. If there is money to add more stores there should be money to implement recycling bins all over the center. It's time for a change.

Close the loophole exempting fracking from the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Wolves are native, ecologically vital and beautiful members of the North American landscape. Wherever they live, wolves are remarkable, natural predators who keep their prey species healthy and strong. Wolves have been persecuted and massacred for centuries due to human ignorance, intolerance, and cruelty. It is the very opposite of the respect, admiration and protection they deserve. Wolves are highly social and very intelligent beings and, like all canines, they are loyal and loving to their families. As the late and most dedicated Alaska wolf field scientist Gordon Haber observed, if humans were as loving and devoted to their families as wolves are to their families, the world would be a much better place. Brutally persecuting and killing such ecologically vital, sensitive, intelligent and family-oriented beings should be labeled what it is: heartless animal abuse and criminal slaughter. In this modern era, with our deeper understanding of ecology and the inter-connected circle of life, the magic of biodiversity and amidst growing compassion towards all wild beings, to perpetrate such brutality and unjustified killing of wolves and other natural predators is hugely unethical and ecologically criminal. This unacceptable, horrid killing stands in blatant contradiction to the expressed desires of the wildlife respecting and conservation supporting majority of American citizens and decent people from around the world. Shame on Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Alaska. The ignorant, anti-ecology wolf haters in these states are a disgrace to the entire country, as are the politicians who are in bed with them. For example, corrupt and backward Idaho state officials have allowed a wolf killing contest there and have also hired a wildlife killer to slaughter two wolf families living deep in the vast Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Are Idaho wolf haters and politicians, and the persecutors and killers in other states as well, so lacking in decency and humility that they dare to tell the Creator He made a mistake by creating wolves? And they are correcting His mistakes? Vital and beautiful, wild and free wolves are not safe anywhere in Idaho, and that is a great sin against Creation. Idaho caters to animal abusers, wildlife persecutors and destroyers and provides one of the best examples of why America's wolves must be placed back on the Endangered Species List everywhere in the country. Too many cattle ranchers perpetuate deadly, hysterical myths and ridiculous exaggerations about depredation of cattle by wolves, which is statistically insignificant in every state. Wolves much prefer their wild prey. For instance, in the huge state of Montana, there are 2,500,000 non-native cattle. Tens of thousands of cattle in Montana die every year due to weather, disease, birth complications and from eating poison plants, for which ranchers receive zero compensation. In 2011, the US Fish & Wildlife Service confirmed only 74 cattle taken by wolves in the entire state. 74 out of 2,500,000... that is statistically nearly zero! And Montana ranchers are foolishly compensated for such tiny losses. The depredation statistics are similarly tiny in nearby Idaho and Wyoming. Yet, so many cattlemen constantly scheme and pressure federal and state politicians to kill wolves. Cattlemen should no longer dictate federal wildlife policy out West, as they have for so long. Many ranchers refuse to adopt proven, non-lethal methods to control the very tiny losses they experience from wolves. Instead, cattlemen are addicted to a culture of killing and having control over whatever it is they want to destroy. It's the same arrogance and brutality that earlier destroyed Native American people and massacred native wildlife throughout the continent. Decent Americans should no longer allow such brutality to be the American way anywhere. It is shameful and unacceptable that any supposedly decent American politician would listen to such destructive schemers and then serve their cruel, unjust, and immoral demand that innocent wolves be condemned to death. Isn't it time the United States finally atoned for causing such brutal destruction to both native people and native wildlife, instead of allowing such monstrous cruelty to continue? Instead of more persecution and killing, this country should create, without delay, a Peace Corps initiative to help heal Native Americans who suffer greatly from ill health, suicide and despondency; and to heal and restore native wildlife, all of whom deserve to live in peace, at last, in what is their native homeland, too. Until this needed change comes, past mistakes are repeated again and again within a broken system. To add massive insult to injury, the ranchers' non-native cattle graze on federal taxpayer subsidized public lands that belong to all Americans, land that should be a haven for America's vital wolves and other native wildlife, including native bison, grizzly bears, mountain lions, prairie dogs, wolverines, coyotes and so many other amazing members of the continent's rich natural heritage. The massive numbers of non-native cattle grazing unsupervised throughout the arid West cause tremendous damage trampling across fragile ecosystems where they do not belong. The cattleman's reign of terror against the wildlife and wild lands of the United States must permanently come to an end. And let it begin now by saying 'No More' to the federal tax-payer subsidized 'welfare ranchers' unrelenting campaign of the demonization and slaughter of America's wolves and their families. There are decent ranchers who respect native wildlife, including wolves, and who have adopted proven, responsible and humane measures to co-exist with them. These good and decent people are to be commended and supported, it's just that there are not enough of them. Ecologically ignorant hunters, selfish hunting outfitters, and sadistic trappers relentlessly ...

The Gulf of Maine is one of the only "great waters" in America to be ignored by Congress. Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound and many others have federal restoration programs and a line item in the federal budget to provide additional $100's millions every year for clean water and fish and wildlife habitat. Gulf of Maine has an established $20 billion need--and we have a Plan, but we need our Senators to take the lead in creating a Gulf of Maine Restoration Program Office and appropriating funds accordingly.

Disc golf is incompatible with current use of the open space trails at "Blue Ball Park"---it would pose a safety hazard to walkers and runners, and would cause severe damage to a fragile ecosystem that is recovering from its years as a dairy ranch.
