Shrimp has caused the decline of sea turtles globally and mangrove forest destruction for shrimp farms. Shrimp has long been associated with ecological destruction from trawlers clear cutting the ocean bottom and killing sea turtles, and the destruction of mangrove for shrimp farms. Shrimp also has a darker side, with thousands of workers enslaved in brutal conditions so consumers can enjoy cheap, all you can eat shrimp.  With 90% of shrimp imported, these products are killing American fisheries, which are better regulated and managed. Consumers of "Endless shrimp" and larger shrimp promoted by America's largest seafood chain are complicit in human and environmental crime. The lack of ethical consumption promoted by Red Lobster is heinous and promotes slavery and environmental destruction. Boycott Red Lobster until all unsustainable and unethical shrimp are removed from the menu.

Whereas scientific studies associate exposure to pesticides with health risks to infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly; Whereas pesticides are harmful to pets, wildlife, beneficial insects (including bees, currently at great risk from colony collapse disorder), and natural ecosystems; and Whereas, toxic runoff from pesticides and chemical fertilizers pollutes lakes, rivers and drinking water sources: We, the undersigned, call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to enact a policy to entirely eliminate the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on all park-owned and park-leased properties, including all land and all bodies of water under MPRB control, in order to protect the public and promote a healthy, sustainable environment; and we call upon the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to implement a pesticide-free management policy on all park-owned and park-leased properties.

Two cycle gas leafblowers burn a gas-oil mix that is highly air polluting. Two cycle gas motorcycles and other vehicles have been banned from our roads for decades. Why do we tolerate the use of hundreds/thousands of two cycle gas leafblowers every day in San Jose?

Yes, it is about preserving in the wild these magnificent animals who are in fact returned natives here in North America and contribute positively to the ecosystems they inhabit when not subject to the unjust and dishonest "squeeze plays" of corrupt officials & disrespectful officials. They are also very important preventers of catastrophic wildfires. This is about obeying the law and the will of the general public concerning this crucially important Quality of Life issue here in America.

The Coast Redwood is an endangered species, and needs to be recognized as such, and allowed to regain its original range.

If you are a parent of a special needs child or children and are concerned about how your children are treated while they are absent from you, help me make a difference. Parents with nonverbal kids like myself, remember, we are their voices, so let's be heard. Signing this petition is just the beginning, but we can fight until the END!

The proposed construction will drastically alter the landscape of the area, introducing high-density housing that could lead to increased traffic congestion, overstretched local services, and reduced green space, which are fundamental to our community’s character and environmental health. Residential neighborhoods, like those around Kennedy Road, have long been cherished for their peaceful atmosphere and open spaces — a sharp contrast to the urban density that these apartment complexes would bring. According to studies from the American Planning Association, rapid urban development can detrimentally impact local ecosystems, increase pollution levels, and diminish residents' quality of life. These significant shifts go against the values of sustainability and community well-being that are deeply important to the residents of Blacklick. Moreover, local wildlife, which currently thrives in this semi-natural environment, faces the threat of habitat disruption due to this planned construction. The potential ecological impact includes a reduction in biodiversity and challenges to the survival of native species, a concern supported by research from the World Wildlife Fund. The local infrastructure is already under strain, with schools, public transport, and emergency services stretched to their limits. Introducing a substantial number of new residents without proportionate enhancements to these services will inevitably lead to breakdowns and inefficiencies.

  Please sign this petition to show your support for providing free bus rides for all youths in Hawaii. Let's take a step toward a more equitable and sustainable future for our children and our communities.  

QTS has not been forthright about the environmental, financial, and community impacts this massive project will bring to our small village. Residents deserve real answers before any approval is granted. The Village of DeForest should not move forward with any approval until QTS provides independent environmental and economic impact studies that are made fully available to the public. This company’s lack of transparency is unacceptable. We refuse to allow a reckless project to jeopardize the health, stability, and sustainability of our community. Let’s protect DeForest’s future before it’s too late. Sign this petition to tell the Village Board: No approval without full transparency from QTS!

I care about this neighborhood, it’s not just where I live, it’s part of who I am. I’ve seen so much change over the years, but now it’s starting to feel like the kind of change that pushes people like us out. There’s a plan in the works to bring a Hyatt hotel and private athlete housing to land that used to belong to our community. Remember the Robert Taylor Homes? They tore those down with the promise that they’d rebuild and bring families back. That never happened. Instead, CHA and our City Officials are selling off the land to developers tied to elite tennis programs and political insiders. People with money. People with power. People who don’t live here. And honestly? It hurts. It feels like the city is more interested in making deals than keeping promises. They say it’s “development,” but who is it really for? Not the families who used to live here. Not the students whose schools are now half-empty. Not the kids who need safe places to play, affordable homes, or someone to invest in their futures. There’s this guy Kamau Murray,  he runs XS Tennis. He says he’s doing it for the youth, but if you go by there, it’s all elite players, out-of-town visitors, and not much actual connection to the community. And yet, somehow, he’s the one getting city land. It doesn’t add up. I’m fighting this because I believe our neighborhood deserves better. We deserve homes, not hotels. We deserve to be heard, not sidelined. And I’m asking people to sign a petition, to stand with us, because once this land is gone, it’s gone. And so are the families who could’ve come back. So yeah, this is personal. I’m not just angry, I’m trying to do something about it. Because if we don’t fight for our neighborhoods, who will?

AI companies like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc use a ton of electric. They use a disparate amount of electric without shouldering their cost.  This is not a NJ issue but is happening nation-wide.
