Stop the XL Pipeline. Let Canada Export It's Own OilThe XL Pipeline terminates at Port Arthur Texas. Port Arthur is an export port. Valero, one of the backers of the pipeline, intends to export the refined oil in the form of diesel to Europe and Asia. Trans Canada has already testified that if the product can't be exported the refineries will back out of the deal. Why do we risk our land, our air and get nothing? Tell Congress we aren't stupid. Sign now! We have very little time left!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ronald Kunkel

Deposits on ALL Plastic Beverage BottlesAccording to Waste Management World (http://www.container-recycling.org/media/newsarticles/plastic/2006/5-WMW-DownDrain.htm) "Each day in the US more than 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks and waterways." Unfortunately, voluntary recycling of these items is not working. The amount of plastic beverage bottles littering our streets and contaminating our waterways would be reduced if we would require ALL Plastic Beverage Bottles have a deposit on them. Please show Congress that we care about our environment and ask them to stand up to the beverage and retail industries and their trade associations, including the International Bottled Water Association. Statistics prove that the financial incentive of a deposit increases the amount of recycling in all states that have initiated this action.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fay Nickel

Regulate Hydrofracturing (fracking) for Natural Gas to comply with the Clean Air and Water ActsNatural gas is extracted by pressurized injection of fluids below the water table through deep rock using hydrofracturing or "fracking" technology. The process requires millions of gallons of water per well and produces equal quantities of waste water that is contaminated with benzene, radium and other pollutants known to cause serious health problems. At least half of the waste water enters water treatment plants that cannot remove the contaminants. Additionally, transport of water and gas results in truck traffic of 1000 trips per well, creating increased local air pollution. Fracking is currently exempt from the Clean air and Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts. We call upon the President and Congress to protect our precious air and water resources by closing the loopholes that exempt fracking for natural gas from appropriate regulation.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maja Kricker

Citizens Against TitanTitan, a Greece based cement manufacturing company wants to build a cement factory in Wilmington, NC. The citizens of Wilmington, (New Hanover County) do not want the plant in our community. It will be situated on the Cape Fear River and mercury and other toxins will seep into the river which is a source for recreation and fishing. Titan has filed a lawsuit against a pediatrician and a housewife/mom who dared too speak out at a County Commissioners meeting as to how dangerous this would be to the air quality and how polluted the river would become.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by judith rabak

Stop the keystone XL Pipeline - again!The Keystone XL pipeline is being pushed by Republicans to carry the dirtiest crude oil ever from Canadian tarsands to refineries in Texas from where it will be shipped abroad. Refining this dirty oil for use guarantees that we will tip the rate of climate change over the edge of no return (Dr. Steven Chu). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNpQ2nTUYkU. President Obama has less than 60 days to reverse heavy pressure to approve it. We can help him do the right thing.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Sutton

Stop Styrofoam Use at Dunkin' DonutsStyrofoam takes 500 years to decompose. Dunkin' Donuts uses styrofoam coffee cups in almost all its stores. Paper cups would function equally well and they are biodegradable and recyclable.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Plumeri
