In 2005 , behind closed doors, Dick Cheney, former CEO of Halliburton, exempted the Gas and Oil Industries from the Clean Air and Clean Water Act. Clean air and clean water is a basic human right which no man has the right to take away from another man. This action was knowingly carried out in order to create the unregulated situation we are in today, where these industries are free to poison our air and inject toxic chemicals into the earth through Hydro Fracking and other extraction techniques . If it cannot be done safely, it cannot be done at all.

Over 20,000 residents of Canton and neighboring communities rely on Canton Lake for clean drinking water, and the West and Middle Branches of Copperas Creek provide some of the highest quality wildlife habitat, hunting, and fishing left in Fulton County. But the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has tentatively decided to issue water pollution permits for a 1,084 acre strip coal mine that would send additional pollution into Canton Lake and Copperas Creek, and allow for the destruction of miles of tributary streams. Even worse, the applicant is the same group responsible for the disastrous Industry Mine in McDonough and Schuyler Counties – which has violated the Clean Water Act by discharging polluted water at levels above its permit over 300 times since 2003! Despite ongoing legal action by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office and widespread local opposition the Industry Mine is still not complying with the law. How can Illinois EPA even consider issuing a permit to a company with such a bad record so close to a source of clean drinking water? Take Action Now! 1. Sign the petition and tell Governor Quinn and Illinois EPA not to issue permits that threaten clean drinking water! No permits for mining companies that are already violating the Clean Water Act. 2. Join Us At The Meeting CACEI December Meeting 10:00 am, December 3, 2011 and at the Fulton County Health Department Public Hearing on North Canton Mine Water Permits at 5:00 pm on December 6, 2011 at the Donaldson Center This petition and associated signatures will be forwarded to Gov. Quinn and Illinois EPA as part of our campaign to protect Canton Lake and Copperas Creek from strip mining pollution. By submitting this form, your name and address will be filed with a public agency and become public record. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose.

A systemic pesticide moves inside a plant following absorption by the plant. Systemic insecticides, which poison pollen and nectar in the flowers, kills bees and other needed pollinators. Please pass legislation to ban system pesticide use NOW!

Roadside are some of the last places for honeybees and other insect life to forage in this age of mono culture a flower can be hard to find. A pesticide free plant is getting harder to find in a field or along rail roads or even in parks. A road side covered in flowers would be a joy to behold for bees and people. It would save money in the long run as well as make job now, cleaning and planting the roadsides. Then we would save fuel and labor by only mowing once. A lot of plants make better ground cover then grass. Our road sides should be in bloom from spring to fall. If we wait till spring to mow the plant life hepl hold snow and give wild life a place to forage.

Incremental but unrelenting encroachment upon and development of the stream banks and flood plains following the devastating flood of 1927 has unnecessarily put human lives and property in harms way. The best interests of citizens and property owners, our communities, soil preservation, and the ecological integrity of Vermont rivers, streams, lakes and ponds demands that meaningful state wide riparian buffer zone legislation be drafted, approved and implemented as soon as possible.

We, the undersigned residents of the Township of Portage, petition the Town Board to impose a moratorium on gas extraction using high-volume, slick water, hydraulic fracturing in the Township of Portage. The methods used and the intensity of industrial development threaten our clean air, clean water, soil, rural landscapes, and health, as well as our social and economic well being.

Florida Constitution Amendment - Article 10 Section 28 USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES. By December 31, 2020, 20 percent of the electricity sold by an electric utility at retail, in the State of Florida, shall be generated from renewable energy sources. Fossil and nuclear fuels and their derivatives are not eligible resources.

The Finger Lakes must be protected from the hydrofracking industry. It is an area of fragile, rural beauty with its watershed vulnerable to pollution. Its roads are too narrow and hilly for the heavy industrial trucking that hydrofracking will bring.

Slick-water high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) is a process by which oil and gas are extracted from underground reserves. It’s known as, hydrofracking or fracking, the process begins by Injecting fluid (a mixture of water, sand, and highly toxic chemicals) under high pressure into oil and gas wells. We are requesting that this moratorium be in place until the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is able to finish its current study on the environmental risks of hydrofracking. Town meeting is on December 8th. Please email this petition to your friends and family.

The Arana Gulch Master Plan is our chance to provide public access to this beautiful place (including for the mobility-impaired), to get outside funding for serious restoration of the endangered tarplant, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to provide environmental education to school-kids and adults alike. It just needs approval by the Coastal Commission.

Require CL&P to cut down any tree within 100 feet of a power line.

Radioactive, carcinogenic and toxic gas releases have occurred in all states where hydrofracking is allowed. Purposely undisclosed fracking chemicals have caused massive pollution of drinking water and deposited these poisons into wells, streams and rivers and ill-equipped wastewater treatment plants. Hydrofracking has released virulent vapors into the air and soil endangering people, animals and vegetation alike. The gas-drilling companies, who are now "legally" immune from many current US Clean Water and Air Acts, have done a good job of hiding these dangers and spent a lot of money deceiving vulnerable people to prostitute the use of their land. But now, hydrofracking victims are fighting back after getting sick, losing property value and watching their farms die off due to this insidious attack. It’ s past time to stop hydrofracking and place the well being of all living things in New York over the profits of dinosaur Big Energy. Won't you act and help to ban hydrofracking before it becomes permissible in New York State? By signing this pettition, you are warning Governor Cuomo (and other governors) what we will do to them if they ever permit or continue to allow hydrofracking. Please sign this petition and forward it to any forward-thinking human.
