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.

On 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.

My suggestion for a petition? A national program to promote the recycling of individual water bottles and good will towards the environment.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has made bad decision after bad decision. He is bad for the environment and for this administration's record.

Manoomin (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.

The 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.

About funding being available to people inventing alternative energy sources. Anyone fed up with paying outrageous electric bills should sign this petition.

Many 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.

From 2009 to 2011, Bob Schieffer's Sunday talk show on CBS, Face the Nation, covered climate change for a total of 4 minutes. Four minutes in three years. The country needs to hear about the biggest challenge our society faces and it's no longer acceptable that we can learn nothing about it on one of the nation's premier news programs.

The US must accelerate its use of renewable energy and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Consuming fossil fuels causes global warming and makes our country dependent on unstable foreign governments for its energy supply thereby reducing our global security.
