Cleaner Air, Water and Better HealthHundreds of community health studies have linked daily increases in fine particle pollution to reduced lung function, greater use of asthma medications, and premature death. Beyond the air contamination of tailpipe emissions, tire tread wear, leaking automotive fluids, brake pad deterioration, even dirty car-washing water and supplies are killing our reefs, affecting water quality and causing road pollution.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark

Recycling Bins In BirminghamHaving visited other major cities in the UK I have noticed a number of multi-use bins which provide separate containers for different types of waste that would reduce the amount of waste Birmingham has to send to landfill and would dramatically increase the amount of recycling.10 of 100 Signatures

Repeal the Halliburton LoopholeAmong the many dubious provisions in the 2005 energy bill was one dubbed the Halliburton loophole, which was inserted at the behest of then-Vice President Dick Cheney, a former chief executive of Halliburton. It stripped the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of its authority to regulate a drilling process called hydraulic fracturing. Invented by Halliburton in the 1940s, it involves injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals, some of them toxic, into underground rock formations to blast them open and release natural gas.1,889 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Gerald Newman

Remove tax bias against public transportationUnless Congress acts to reinstate the pretax benefits, there will be a bias in favor of automobile commuting, with public transit commuters only able to set aside $125 a month, and auto commuters allowed up to $240 a month. This subsidizes the more polluting automobile over the cleaner and more energy efficient use of buses, trains and automobiles.
