• SAVE OUR PRECIOUS COLORADO ENVIRONMENT
    Please stop fracking in Colorado. This process does untold harm to our environment. It does not solve the energy problems in America. Unfortunately, the more we get the more we use. We must look to other sources for energy and learn to conserve. Colorado needs to set an example for the nation.

  • Digámosle a Obama que rompa el vínculo entre la FDA y Monsanto
    El Presidente Obama nombró al ex vicepresidente y cabildero de Monsanto, Michael Taylor, a su cargo actual de asesor principal del comisionado de la FDA. Este vínculo impensable entre la autoridad que controla la seguridad de nuestros alimentos y los intereses corporativos que tienen poca consideración por la salud pública, hay que romperlo. Es inaceptable esta situación en que “el zorro cuida a las gallinas.” El Presidente Obama tiene que revertir esta política inimaginablemente peligrosa y proteger a la independencia de la FDA contra cualquier influencia corporativa. Mensaje que será entregado al Presidente Barack Obama

  • Stop The Illegal Ragged Mountain Water Plan!
    Three city councilors have approved the building of a dam at Ragged Mountain natural area, a project which will require the destruction of up to 200 acres of wildlife habitat- one of the coolest local hiking getaways. It's not too late to stop this unnecessary and wasteful plan. Because there has not been a public referendum giving the community a say in the issue, the whole thing is illegal. Sign a petition to tell the City Council that there is no need to destroy this unique spot when there are more ecologically and economically efficient ways to meet a city's growing water needs.

  • End Fracking! Save Colorado Water!
    We ask our State Legislature and Governor Hickenlooper to position Colorado as a Fracking Free Zone. Fracking is famous for unknown, undisclosed chemicals and poisoned wells. Please: I urge you to watch the documentary "Gasland" to understand the ill conceived idea behind fracking close to populated areas in Colorado. The enormous use of water in fracking is unprecedented.

  • Mandatory Labeling of GE/GMO Foods
    The problems with Genetically Modified (GM) foods are as many as they are varied. Respected scientists have risked everything to step forward and warn consumers that this new fast-track "solution to world hunger" is bad for their health and the environment, but to little avail.

  • Close down Vermont Yankee
    Yankee's plant is one of the oldest in the world: its infrastructure is precariously decrepit and in need of urgent repair. The plant's $100 million condenser needs to be replaced immediately and, according to Arnie Gunderson, speaking at Richmond's Free Public Library in VT back in November of '09, Yankee's turbine-pull rotates in a fashion that when it malfunctions, shrapnel is shot back toward the reactor containment box. This too needs to be replaced. VT Yankee has had radiation leaks time and again. There has been more than one leak at Yankee because of its aging, wooden infrastructure. In fact, in just the initial two years of operating, the plant had to be shut down seventeen times -- radioactive gases exceeding legal limits were pouring out. In July of 1976, 86,000 gallons of radioactive tritium spilled into the Connecticut River. In 1980 a thousand gallons of radioactive water spilled on the plant floor. Incidents like these rack up to well over a dozen. At the beginning of 2009, two pipes leaking radioactive water and steam were reported. And then there was a leak in April, and another in the condenser was discovered in June. In 2002, the USNRC (the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission) reported that 47 percent of facility employees are afraid to report safety issues to management. let's tell our representatives that we do not want to put our families lives at risk and risk future generation because of this irresponsible and dangerous industry.

  • Save Gallitzin State Forest from Industrial Wind Development
    Pennsylvania's state forests should be managed for pure water, recreation, scenic beauty, plant and animal habitat, and sustainable timber. Industrial wind turbine projects should not be constructed on state forest lands. While Gallitzin State Forest in Cambria and Somerset Counties does have areas that were mined, many trees have been planted to reclaim this damaged land. Plant trees, not turbines!

  • Top Five Free Energy Technologies Unfolding Now
    An age of free energy is rapidly approaching. As we speak, multiple companies are preparing the technologies that will make energy abundant, cheap, and extremely low cost. The most exotic of these technologies are poised to bring an end to the age of fossil fuels, by allowing energy to be produced in radically novel ways. All of this is taking place with very little, or even no coverage by the mainstream media. They are sneaking up on the world, with relatively very few people paying attention. For more info. about these New and Free Energy Technologies go to : Top Five Free Energy Technologies Unfolding Now | Wake Up World wakeup-world.com

  • Shut Down Vermont Yankee
    VT Yankee is an old plant, and it has had some very, very dangerous mishaps. A plant like this should not be in operation, even according to the Nuclear Regulatory Committee (NRC). It's leaking into our ground water and right into the Connecticut River. It needs to be safely shut down before it is shut down due to a horrible disaster. Please sign this and pass it on.

  • Stop the subsidies for ethanol from corn.
    The federal government subsidies the companies who produce ethanol from corn. The proponents of this subsidy erroneously believe that use of corn bases ethanol is environmentally friendly, when it has been scientifically proven that the production and use of corn based ethanol in gasoline has a negative effect on the environment. It also drives up the price of corn, beef and pork to the consumer.
