Glass instead of plasticRid America of Plastic containers. I burn papers in a barrel. Plastic smells, I don't burn it. I have MS so can't work, can't afford anything extra. Garbage is an unnecessary expense, I live in a rural area of New York state, there is a small swamp behind my home were I dispose of unused food. Bones. Feeds the fish and wildlife. Plastic is made with Oil. Glass is RECYCLABLE and is a perfect product for containers. Let wake up and look at the whole pictures.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David B Africa

Stop spraying our e--ways with chemicalsThis petition is about the DOT spraying our e-ways with chemicals. They are specifclly targeting what they coin noxious weeds. Yes, these weeds can block drivers views which can be a hazzard, but so is spraying with the chemicals. Why not have out of work Michiganders harvest these weeds, or put some of the MI prisoners to work harvesting these weeds to start a broom factory in MI?5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue Bornick

Water resource limitationLimiting water grabs by private individuals in Florida. At present, the water management boards, appointed by the governor, rule on permit applications to withdraw water from the aquifer. Free water... just resell it and you are rich! The springs are drying up, surprise. lakes and wells are dry. A rich Canadian named Frank Stronach has a ranch called Adena Springs here, and he has an application to pump 13 million gallons per day, the same amount as Ocala. He probably has good intentions, and seems like a nice guy, but we will see if he modifies his application after hearing our protest.3,112 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Mack Tyner

Petition against Las Brisas Energy Center petroleum coke burning plantLas Brisas wants to build a toxic waste incinerator that will increase area pollution by 80 percent. Area medical societies argued that this plant will harm the public's health, particularly that of young children and the elderly. Signing this petition to the EPA will encourage that agency to refuse Las Brisas an operating permit because it will not comply with the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.436 of 500 SignaturesCreated by James Klein

Preserve NC Employment and EnvironmentIn 2007 North Carolina legislators passed Senate Bill 3 (session law 2007-397). It was hoped to be a vehicle to improve the environment and economically benefit the state. SB-3 has no provable environmental benefits, and will guarantee higher costs to NC citizens and businesses. The latter will result in a net job loss to North Carolina.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Droz Jr.

Make 75% Pure Salvage Built Housing Tax FreeI want your help in building housing for the new society of 76,000,000 downsizing baby boomers out of 100% American grown trees, 100% American Mined ore, with hardware, doors, windows, and everything else made by our forefathers, salvaged from our treasure troves of natural resources, with the human energy of people doing the work who all happen to live in America. Let us abandon subsidizing the global corporations and foreign countries and let people build Tiny Houses from Salvage materials that should never be taxed for the rest of the time they are in service as a home rather than being in the landfill. Change the zoning laws to accomodate downsizing and sharing our ground with others who want to downsize instead of restricting land use through zoning that prohibits the movement toward saving our country and planet by reducing our carbon footprint, our taking from the planet.164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Brad kittel

A World Free of Military and Military WeaponsThe greatest obstacle to environmental progress and a humane society is the fact that over half of human financial resources are spent to maintain military organizations and their weapons and, worse, their wars. If no nation has a military then no nation needs a military. That money can be spent on a better world for all. world instead of death and destruction.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Cohen
