Plastic is everywhere and globally we use more than 260 million tons of plastic each year. 60 to 80% of total marine debris is plastic. The plastic goes into our oceans and animals like fish and turtles eat the plastic. They then unfortunately die because it is not biodegradable. Plastics don't only hurt the sea animals, but they hurt our environment.

Say no to genetically modified seeds, and fish eggs, and fish. There are problems with this type of farming. And so labels should apply to all GMO Products, just like irradiation warnings apply to all vegetables and fruits and nuts and grains etc etc England and other countries are making it illegal to work with GMO foods, and so should we.

Our Green Acres Cemetery environment is embarrassing even to the dead! We need everyone to help! Improving the conditions: Road...One way-entrance Lights Trash Cans...clean-up Benches Wild weeds covering the markers Flower Bed around the tree etc.

Pennsylvania's state legislature (and now Governor Corbett) has effectively signed a death warrant for some number of residents, who knows how many. Corbett’s just made it official. Pennsylvanians: Fight back — or suffer the consequences. The fracking industry has written a bill that gives itself legal permission to poison Pennsylvanians-and keeps doctors who treat them once they’re poisoned from telling anyone else what poisoned them. The bill also essentially permits all gas drilling and processing activities anywhere, including in residential areas. -Maura Stephens For more info, PLEASE READ: http://www.truth-out.org/fracking-industry-colludes-pennsylvania-legislature-dangerous-new-laws-head-governors-desk/132923015

Mayor Dean Maxwell of Anacortes is pushing through a deal to sell five million gallons of municipal water per day from the Skagit River through the year 2040 with extensions through 2050 to Tethys Enterprises, Inc. This ill-proposed one million square foot plant would be the largest bottled water/beverage and food manufacturing plant in the United States. Although citizens personally requested a public hearing before the signing of the contract, Mayor Dean Maxwell turned them down. The people have been given no input on this issue. Please oppose this plant. The water of the Skagit River belongs to the public, not to the city of Anacortes. It should not be sold to the highest bidder. This contract does not take into account projections of Anacortes' future water needs, nor does it take into account the effect global warming is having and will continue to have on the Skagit River, i.e. increasing the likelihood of floods and decreasing its flow in the summertime. Will the people of Anacortes and the rest of the Skagit Valley have enough water in the future after Tethys gets its five million gallons? The plant will produce huge amounts of plastic waste, which will massively impact the environment. It will also add huge amounts of wastewater, which in addition to negatively impacting the environment will require an expansion of Anacortes' wastewater plant, the cost of which is not included in the contract with Tethys. According to Matt Kelly of Tethys, the plant will increase rail traffic by 400 rail cars a day – four unit trains–and may affect access to the Skagit Airport and other businesses on that side of State Route 20. These will add tremendously to the air and noise pollution and traffic congestion of the area. The contract with Tethys does not guarantee jobs from the water plant for local citizens, and what jobs it would bring are not worth the environmental impacts of the plant. At a time when we are struggling with global climate change and environmental degradation, it would be irresponsible and enormously counterproductive to add wastewater pollution and plastic pollution from the manufacturing, and the noise pollution, traffic congestion, and train diesel exhaust pollution that will be produced from the operation of this water plant. Not to mention how it will encourage the continued use of bottled water which involves burning massive quantities of fossil fuels for production and transportation of the product and contributes tremendously to our garbage stream since 86% of plastic water bottles used in the U.S. become garbage or litter. Please stop this plant from becoming a reality. Please contact Mayor Maxwell, your legislators, and Governor Gregoire about this issue. Thanks. Mayor Dean Maxwell P.O.

Fracking is unregulated and destroying or health and environment . Government is giving drilling companies a free pass. They are exempt from clean water act and are now can't be regulated by local communities it impacts. This must stop.

Monsanto has proven itself a danger to human and non-human communities. Through the production of toxins, carcinogens, and genetically modified organisms, Monsanto has by its actions loudly stated that they value the accumulation of money more than they value clean air, water, and soil, and they value the accumulation of money more than they value healthy communities of humans and non-humans. Further, their campaigns of dishonesty concerning the safety of their products, their campaigns of legal warfare against small scale farmers, scientists, and journalists, their campaigns of corruption against democratic governments, and their campaigns of horrendous worker treatment in foreign countries demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that Monsanto's continued existence presents a clear an present danger not only to the foundations of life, but to human systems of government and justice.

Texas is in dire need of Federal allocations which would accomplish the design and implementation of long-term drought contingency infrastructure, up to and including the diligent pursuit of irrigation systems to prevent the dangerous and preventable conditions inherent to droughts, both for Texas residents and for Texas wildlife. The implied course of work in fulfilling this vacancy in Federal accountability serves not only to accomplish the necessary practical affirmation of the Federal government's intended presence in the determination of interstate civic affairs and processes, but also provides the generation of a works market that would accordingly alleviate employment strain through resolving highly problematic agricultural and environmental negligence.

The US must take decisive steps now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Legislation (H.R. 3242) has been introduced to make polluters pay for carbon emissions in a way that will drive the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. The Citizens Climate Lobby is asking for your support of this bill. Signatures wil be delivered to Congress by the CCL.

We oppose Army Corps of Engineers giving a permit to the to the Governor of Puerto Rico to build the "Via Verde" gas-pipeline. The contracts to build it will go to the Governor's friends. The company that will build it wants a tax exception and the People of Puerto Rico would wind up paying for the destruction of their own environment. Governor Fortuño’s Via Verde Gas Pipeline represents the destruction of 1,500 acres of forests, 800 acres of agricultural land, direct impact to 235 bodies of water, wetlands, ecosystems that produce the majority of Puerto Rico's drinking water, threats to sacred archeological sites of native Taino people, displacement of scores of Puerto Rican families, waste of millions of dollars, as well as putting at risk over 200,000 people. In Puerto Rico, environmental, professional, labor, student, religious, cultural, political and community groups and grassroots Puerto Rican people are marching to stand for environmental justice, and for the right of the people of Puerto Rico to their land, their water, their culture. We the People say, "No!" to the "Via Verde" gas pipeline. ................................................................................................. [castilian/Spanish] Nosotros los aqui firmantes de esta peticion demandamos al “Army Corps of Engineers” que le niegue el permiso al Gobernador Fortuno para construir el gasoducto “Via Verde”. Los contratos son para el beneficio de los amigos del Gobernador. La compania que quiere construir el gasoducto pide que le den excemcion para no pagar impuestos y asi los puertorriquenos terminarian pagando por la propia destruccion de su ambiente. Ese gasoducto de Fortuno representa la destruccion de 1,500 cuerdas de bosques, 800 cuerdas de tierras agricolas, impactaria 235 cuerpos de agua, humedales, ecosistemas, que producen la mayoria del agua potable que se consume en Puerto Rico, amenaza a los asentamientos sagrados de los amerindios tainos, el desplazamiento de familias puertorriquenas, malgasto de millones de dolares, como tambien pone en riesgo a mas de 200,000 ciudadanos. En Puerto Rico, grupos de profesionales, ambientalistas, trabajadores, religiosos,politicos, grupos comunitarios, gente y personas del pueblo se estan manifestando por el derecho del pueblo Puertorriqueno su tierra, su agua y su cultura. Nosotros, el Pueblo, decimos, "No al “Via Verde”, tubo de la muerte.
