• Increase safety and reduce pollution at Jack London Square
    Jack London Square is no longer an industrial warehouse district but rather a residential and commercial district. Amtrak and their new station are creating noise and air pollution, environmental and danger hazards.

  • Stop Chemtrailing
    Every day our government participates in a program that dumps tons of particulant (aluminum and barium) into our atmosphere. No official explanation has been offered. (Perhaps producing artificial clouds which reduce the harmful rays of the sun?) Millions and maybe billions of dollars are being spent on this toxic spraying that pollutes our atmosphere. Levels of aluminum in drinking water have skyrocketed. This needs to stop!

  • Congress: Stop spraying chemicals in our skies.
    Chemtrails are no longer a myth once thought to only be a figment of one's imagination. They are real and toxic chemicals are being sprayed onto us without our consent. These chemtrails are known to contain ethylene dibromide, aluminum, and Barium, which are all toxic to humans. The spraying must stop and those responsible must tell us why they are spraying toxic chemicals in our skies and be held accountable.

  • End Sea Turtle Hunting Season in the British Virgin Islands
    The British Virgin Islands has a Sea Turtle Hunting season December 1st through March 31st. They are legally allowed to harvest Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles, both endangered animals. Hawksbill turtles (must be 15+inches carapace length) and Green turtles (24 +inches carapace length) but these sizes still put them in the late juvenile / sub-adult age and the fact they do not have a size limit is even worse since those are the ones probably nesting here but live elsewhere. There is a moratorium on loggerhead turtles, leatherback turtles, & all sea turtle eggs.

  • Save the Woods
    There is a small area of land that is untouched by humans. There are beautiful trails, beautiful trees, and it's a small place for many animals to call there home. Every fall, hundreds of birds flock to these woods for a quick food stop as they migrate. This area needs to stay up so that it isn't sold when housing development pushes through. This area of land is located in Hampshire, IL. I want to get permission from him to survey the land myself.

  • Fight San Diego Gas & Electric Co's Attack on Solar Electric and Regular Customers
    San Diego Gas & Electric already has some of the most expensive rates in the country. Regardless, they are currently lobbying officials to dramatically increase fees to regular customers, and at the same time create all new fees for solar users. Please sign this petition that will be sent to our elected officials (and The California Public Utilities Commission) asking them to oppose SDG&E's rate hikes. By signing you may help curb the cost of your future electric bill while also helping the environment by denying SDG&E the ability to inhibit the use of solar electricity.

  • Ban Hydrofracking from Finger Lakes Watershed
    Hydrofracking around the watersheds of New York City and Syracuse have been banned by the governor and state legislature because of how it pollutes the water. The same consideration for the quality of life of the residents and tourists in the Finger Lakes should be legislated. The Finger Lakes are the source of water for municipalities, tens of thousands of individuals, farms, vineyards, recreation, and tourism.

  • Stop LePage Administration Abuse of Power
    Andrea Lani has been an employee in good standing with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection since 1999. On March 29, she testified before a legislative committee, warning about the risks of Governor Paul LePage's efforts to weaken protections for the chemical BPA, which has been linked to developmental problems in kids, heart disease, and cancer. In retaliation, Andrea was demoted and replaced by a far less qualified individual who had been hired in January for an entry-level clerical position.

  • Ask the FDA to require recyclable Rx bottles
    3.7 billion prescriptions were filled in retail pharmacies in the United States in 2010 (1). That is an awful lot of plastic. Unfortunately, the bottles used for these prescriptions are often not recyclable (2). Many states also prohibit pharmacies from reusing prescription bottles (3).

  • Help Snohomish County Citizens Protect Their Lakes
    Our lakes are having toxic algae blooms... development and the human impact are the main culprits. And the data clearly shows long-term deterioration. It will take some time and education to turn this around. Ask the County to fund an increased community outreach plan. The monies are already there... collected by state law specifically for the protection of the environment in the Stillaguamish Clean Water District. Ask them to use it... or lose our lakes!

  • Wind Power for Salem
    The City of Salem is proposing to build a 1.5-megawatt wind turbine at Winter Island. The turbine would produce enough energy to power approximately 300 homes, creating a revenue stream for the city and helping to move our state away from reliance on fossil fuels, the major cause of global climate change. Over the course of its 30-year lifetime, the turbine would reduce our city’s carbon emissions by 80,000 tons, the equivalent of taking about 13,000 cars off the road. The City conducted a thorough study of all city-owned lands to determine the best site for a wind turbine. After analyzing the best wind locations with an outside consultant and considering a range of factors–including proximity to residences, access to the power grid, topography, and other impacts–it was determined that the best location for the project was Winter Island.
