The proposed Keystone XL Pipeline would carry oil from tar sands in Canada to the Gulf for export. Extracting oil from the tar sands requires large amounts of water and energy. This pipeline extension would cross the Nebraska sand hills, which means leaked oil would likely contaminate water suppliles in the Midwest. Indigenous peoples in Canada have united to oppose tar sands mining and pipeline construction. This diverts attentiion and resources away from better, long term, renewable energy development. The primary problem with tar sands is the contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels and global warming.

The "Natural Areas Program" controls 1/4 of San Francisco city parkland and is destroying 18,500 trees and wildlife habitat, closing 10 miles of trails, and increasing toxic herbicide in an attempt to "restore" the dune plants which were here in 1776. San Francisco Forest Alliance at http://sfforest.net is a new organization trying to stop the expansion of this unnatural and unsustainable program. The program diverts $1.6 million a year from park operating funds and millions in park bonds and state grants while SF Rec & Park is cutting basic park programs, increasing park fees, and asking for more bond funding.

Our petition demands the adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency targets, universal renewable energy access, and an end to all fossil fuel subsidies. Sign on to the petition below. We plan to deliver the petition at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (RIO+20) in June, 2012.

According to the NHTSA, rusty or other outdated auto parts are implicated in more mechanical failure-related accidents than design flaws, unmet recalls, and manufacturing defects combined. Tell Congress to renew the Cash for Clunkers incentives that were so important in our recovery from the recession -- and can help improve highway safety at the same time.

Currently many states allow a developer to erect 500' tall wind turbines near homes with no regard to local regulations. Despite data showing that 30' towers are more efficient, easier to repair and replace, the massive tax credits for the giant towers (tens of thousands have been abandoned over the globe in the past 3 decades) encourage their proliferation. Negatives are ignored.

This petition is about protecting the Rights of farmers who want to cultivate Bio diversity and steward the land through organic Farming practices.

Natural Gas Extraction Hydro Fracking is destroying Drinking Water, releasing GreenHouse Emissions , permanently Contaminating the Land while generating millions of gallons of Toxic Fluids. We are petitioning the responsible corporations to stop the use of the Toxic Hydro Fracking Process. We are Boycotting the same corporations who donate to Political Campaigns for legislative support and Political Protection

The Koch Brothers are oil baron billionaires who have committed millions of dollars to fund climate denial propaganda groups & extreme right wing candidates who push for environmental deregulation. All in the name of making more money at the expense of our environment! We're sending them a message to stop poisoning our air, our water and our political process and until they do we are boycotting their products indefinitely.

WE need to review the current Trade Deals and cancel those that are unfair, use slave labor and child labor to manufacture the product, ruin our USA worker opportunity to a job, avoid protecting the environment by ignoring the policies within the country and do not protect the American public with adequate inspection leaving the foreign port and entering our US Port before they are distributed to US buyers.

Genetically engineered foods are appearing on supermarket shelves with increasing frequency. While the scientific debate about the benefits and risks of genetically engineered crops is vigorous and unlikely to reach a consensus anytime soon, you have a right to know what you are eating now. Stand with EWG and the Just Label It campaign today and sign our petition to the FDA demanding that genetically engineered foods are labeled!

It seems that our representatives do not want to hear what we have to say about the Keystone XL pipeline. OK, maybe the oil companies will. If the pipeline is included in legislation, I would like the bill to also include a provision that any oil company using the tar sand oil must disclose as much in labeling. I would be willing to pay extra to be sure that tar sand oil is not going into my tank. Let's show them other people feel this way, too.
