• "Expand Recycling: Update the Bottle Bill"
    Deposits for all plast'stic drinking bottles......money for us pickers, cleaner communities, healthier environment....it seems pretty silly that bottling companies are spending so much of their money (that we wind up paying for) to oppose a bill which we are going to pay for anyway. I don't drink less Diet Coke because there's a deposit. You wonder where the brains are.

  • Morality versus money
    Our national policy is to lessen the impact of global warming. Decreasing the burning of fossil fuels is part of that policy. By encouraging the export of coal to China we encourage the continued use of what is really a toxic fuel. Not only is the burning of coal bad for the citizens of China, but from that burning, CO2, Sulfuric acid, nitrous oxide and mercury will drift as airborne pollutant to the West coast. I am not sure that the increase in jobs is worth the increase in the hazards to our health and that of the environment.

  • Eliminate use of leaf blowers in San Mateo County
    Leaf blowers blow everything it hits into the air and into surrounding areas. Plus, they are loud. This is an example of total inconsideration to neighbors and all those close to scene of said leaf blower.

  • BAN OIL FRACKING IN CALIFORNIA NOW
    The Oil Industry uses fracturing techniques (fracking) that uses chemicals and various liquids under extremely high pressure to be injected into the ground to cause 'fractures' in the earth in order to get more oil. It is unregulated and proven unsafe. It must be banned in order to protect our homes and communities.

  • Better signage
    There should be an 800 number which people could call in to describe misleading or incomplete signage on the roads, in garage parking lots, buildings, etc. The environment should be user-friendly, to help people move efficiently.

  • Save the Badlands
    President Theodore Roosevelt chose the serene beauty of Elkhorn Ranch to heal his soul after the loss of both his mother and his young wife within hours of each other. It is now one of America's 11 most endangered historic places. Mining and oil interests have all but finalized plans for an access bridge and highway and a gravel pit. Please urge President Obama to use his Executive Authority to declare this piece of paradise off limits.

  • Elected Representatives
    Too often I ,like many other Electric Vehicle drivers, arrive at an EV charging station only to find it already occupied by a traditional Internal Combustion Engine powered vehicle. We need a national or state law mandating tow-away zones for the parking spaces adjacent to any charging station or next to any charging station. Also , a standard logo and color scheme should be adopted and mandated to demarcate all such parking spaces. This would be analogous to Handicapped labeled parking.

  • Stabilizing US Population
    It is about setting an example to the world, being the leader of the free world. The world's human population has already crossed 7 billion and is climbing rapidly towards 9 billion. Green house gas emiisions are directly proportional to human population, if you are concerned about those, you should support population stabilization. China is the only country which has shown leadership on this critical issue. High time we set an example to the world.
