Congress and the President have authorized spending 8 billion dollars to finance 2 new Nuclear Power plants in Georgia at a time when there is very little regulation from the NRC or the DOE as to how or where to contain the waste from the back end of Nuclear power generation. Additionally as Fukishima has lethally demonstrated the effects of an accident can be deadly and last for generations. Furthermore, the mining and milling of Uranium is dangerous at all stages.

The Browns Canyon area is comprised of roughly 23,000 acres of Forest Service and BLM land and is renowned for offering a range of year-round opportunities for experiencing Colorado’s outdoors such as hiking, hunting, fishing, whitewater boating, wildlife viewing or simply enjoying the spectacular scenery. Browns Canyon is a national treasure which deserves to be permanently protected to both ensure that the area will remain open to outdoor recreational pursuits and to preserve Colorado’s outdoor legacy for future generations. Our great state of Colorado benefits greatly from tourists that come to this area to visit unique places like Browns Canyon.

Styrofoam has a 2,000 year half-life. It is extremely toxic. It's unnecessary - just cheap. It can't be burned without polluting the air and can't be buried without polluting the ground. Many people take their food home and microwave it while still in styrofoam containers, creating the potential for released toxins going into their bodies.

The federal government is proposing to grant a first-of-its-kind permit that would allow wind-power projects to legally kill golden eagles.

Ethanol added to gas has not lead to a cleaner future, instead it has lead to a higher profit for oil companies. When the EPA forced gas companies to add ethanol, the gas you purchase has reduced your MPG. The EPA's theory that adding ethanol will reduce driving by 10% due to higher prices has not worked. Instead, it has lead to record profits for oil companies because people drive the same distance as before, it just costs 10% more.

We would like for people to help us by signing our petition to help people convince that we should all switch to electric cars.

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.
