I have informed the Utah Governor of this plan, he wants to have a Nuclear power plant on Utah's Green river in stead. Why would anyone want a Nuclear power plant in their back yard? Wave power will produce more power and provide a new water source to Utah and anywhere in the world. Yes I have a plan to use wave power to move water anywhere to any elevation in any volume. Yes I have a small working model, but no money to build anything. You listen, and make the plan public, no changes to plan, we will let the American public and all the engineers you can find be the jury for the plan. Deal?

If Jo-Ann T Ridao Director of Department of Housing and Human Concers allows Decoite Tree service to be able to cut down our trees in the Kanaloa Houselots Subdivision itll be : lost of privacy, we will lose our noise barrier between the house's above, it'll arise the rodents/insects hidden in the tree's and grass area, & I feel that the ground will have some erosion to it when we have heavy rain fall . I understand that Jo-Ann's concern for the fire hazard but my house has been here since 1982 and no fire has been stated due to the trees behind our house. Jo-Ann stated that by cutting down all the Keawe Trees it'll eliminate the high cost of maintaining the trees, this house has been here since 1982 and my dad said that he has not seen anyone maintaining the Keawe Trees execpet for last year 2011 to cut the Keawe Trees and the Malafu Tree Service didn't do a good job.

For 5 years there had been a proposal in the state legislature to prohibit surface coal mining above 2000 feet. This petition is a start at preserving the mountains we cherish.

By 2018 all of the Hawaiian islands are due to be blanketed with "smart" meters. The health risks of electromagnetic radiation exposure and other issues such as skyrocketing bills, privacy invasion, in-home surveillance and hacking vulnerabilities have not been addressed. The World Health Organization has classified radio frequency radiation a Class 2B possible carcinogen. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has called for a moratorium on smart meters in homes and schools. Experts agree that smart meters are unnecessary for grid modernization. We're calling on the Governor and the state legislature to stop smart meters until they can be proven safe and secure.

**UPDATE** Governor Snyder signed SB 778 into law on March 27. However please sign and share to send a message and build support for overturning this terrible law as soon as possible. * * * Michigan’s Senate has passed a bill that would essentially privatize all of Michigan’s inland lakes and streams. Unless you have the financial ability to afford lake front property, your access to Michigan’s beautiful waterways will be severely restricted. Please sign this petition to demand Governor Snyder veto Senate Bill No. 778.

Plastic is (usually) a product of petroleum. It clogs our landfills and supports unsavory regimes. Most of our packaging is plastic when it could be biodegradable, renewable paper instead.

The Fukushima multiple nuclear meltdown proved that the GE Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactor has a defective containment and is vulnerable to hydrogen explosions in a loss of power accident. Because the spent fuel pools, filled to bursting, are situated on top of these old reactors, an explosion can spread the highly irradiated spent fuel up to a mile away, as at Fukushima, and air and water contamination across continents. The Pilgrim reactor in Plymouth, MA and the VT Yankee reactor in Vernon Vermont are of the Fukushima design. They are 40 years old, running above their designed power load, leaking, embrittled, outmoded, out of compliance or exempt from NRC's own fire safety and other regulations, and should be retired and decommissioned at once. The risk of an accident with such enormous consequences should demand immediate precautionary action, as was taken by Germany, Japan, and other countries. As Fukushima showed, the risk of catastrophe with Mark 1 reactors is just a power failure away. Retire all Mark 1 BWR's.

We need (as promised) offshore wind turbines to give us pollution free and waste free clean energy! Not to mention the jobs they will create in manufacturing, delivery, and maintaining them. When will they start building them?

The FAA, in a series of airport improvement projects using local contractors, has unintentionally caused the mining of near-shore lagoon coral reefs as a source of fill; the local EPA has always approved or ignored this practice. For example, in 2008 a large reef was mined by PII (a local company) for the ARFF fire station project (pictures available on Flickr). The US is required to follow a higher environmental road, thanks to Bill Clinton's Executive Order 13089, which specifically requires protection of coral reefs even outside the US. Yet coral mining has again been approved, and may start within months, if local EPA approves it (for a second time) and if the US Embassy here in Majuro approves the local approval.

Plastic bottles make ugly, long lasting rubbish. Some make it into our landfills, but the rest are trashing our roadsides, and endangering our wildlife. Only a very few are ever recycled and the petroleum they're made from could be put to better uses. Missourians can live without plastic bottles, but the state's natural beauty is too high a price to pay for "convenience".

Lightweight plastic bags are ugly, they don't go away, few locales and fewer individuals recycle them and they kill wildlife when tossed into our woods and streams. We don't need them and we lived perfectly well without them only a few years ago. Missouri has a strong heritage of support for our state's natural beauty - these eye-sores have to go.

Oppose Mayor Bloomberg's plan to build a 10-story solid waste processing plant adjacent to Asphalt Green, the East River Esplanade and Carl Schurz Park and 100 feet from residential apartment buildings, shops, restaurants and schools and 280 feet from the largest New York City Public Housing complex.
