• No Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay
    As a very proud Bristol Bay Fisherman, I get to work up close with the beautiful commercial and sport fishing community in Alaska. Every year thousands of people depend on the healthy salmon run. Some depend on this run to feed and support their families. Others depend on it because it is the lifeblood of a culture that has been around for hundreds of years. A proposal for a mine is causing a catastrophic threat to the salmon, community, culture and our world. This petition is an effort to stop the Pebble Mine and educate the country on the importance of keeping Bristol Bay healthy.

  • National Recycling Project
    We need to implement a 10¢ national bottle deposit on plastic bottles, cans, and glass bottles in order to force more people to recycle. We cannot defeat climate change without changing our national recycling habits.

  • Save the Endangered Species Act! Oppose the Trump Extinction Plan
    Donald Trump's Departments of Interior and Commerce have published drastic changes to the way they carry out the Endangered Species Act. Under these revisions, protecting endangered and threatened species and the wild places they rely upon will be much more difficult. The Endangered Species Act is phenomenally successful. It has a 99 percent success rate at preventing the extinction of species in its care. But it only works if politicians stay out of the way. Please add your name to tell the Senate to pass legislation instructing the Trump Administration to carry out the Endangered Species Act as written.

  • Trump: stop killing animals with cyanide bombs!
    According to Newsweek, the EPA "has reauthorized the use of controversial devices known as M-44s, or 'cyanide bombs,' which are designed to kill certain animals for predator control purposes." It's inhuman and dangerous!

  • Save Graniteville Wetlands Forest
    Comment on Application # 2-6401-00287/00002 seeking an Article 24 Freshwater Wetlands Permit: We are living in a Post-Sandy world and need to retain all the resiliency we can, especially natural. These trees absorb water from flash flooding storms we are constantly having due to climate change. They also absorb air pollution from Newark Airport and chemical factories in nearby Linden, NJ. My neighbors and I in Graniteville, Staten Island were spared the devastation - loss of life and property - that the East and South Shores communities of Staten Island suffered because of this wetland forest. The East and South Shore communities will be protected by a $400 million-plus seawall to be built and have incorporated their wetlands into the Bluebelt to ensure they won't be ravaged again. By destroying the Graniteville Wetlands Forest for a Big Box Store, we are destroying the only protection we have.

  • Protect Our Trails from Penelec
    The James Mayer trails, where my family walks, runs and bikes, was recently targeted by herbicide spraying by Penelec. One side of the trail is now dead, including the milkweed necessary for our declining monarch butterfly population, the raspberry bushes my kids would grab berries from, and many more. If Penelec spent more time and care, they could manage their power lines in a way that preserved the environment for wildlife and our families.

  • No more butts on the beach
    I am a Tybee Island resident. I grew up in Savannah back when Tybee was Savannah Beach. I was lucky enough to become a full-time Tybee resident around ten years ago. Growing up, we always heard the little slogans like "Keep your butts off the beach". Clearly, those slogans haven't worked. It is appalling at the cigarette butts that are left all over the beach, in the ocean, the sidewalks, everywhere. I think my breaking point was watching a family stand in the water smoking and then when they were finished they THREW THEM IN THE WATER!!! Unfortunately, that wasn't the first time I saw someone do this it just happened to be the first time I saw a group of people do it at once! Enough is enough this is no longer acceptable. It's 2019; we know better!

  • Governor Wolf, Investigate Spike in Childhood Cancers in PA Shale Fields
    We delivered a letter making the same demands of Governor Tom Wolf almost exactly a month ago. More than 100 organizations and 800 individuals signed the letter. On June 19th, two days after we submitted the letter electronically, the Better Path Coalition and its partners hosted a brown bag briefing at the Capitol on new research on health and climate impacts of shale gas development. We hand-delivered the letter to the Governor's office, along with copies of the reports we discussed. The night before our event, we were excited to see the headline that said Governor Wolf was considering an investigation, but the next day, just hours after receiving the paper copy and the reports, I received a letter from Governor Wolf saying that there would be no investigation. "We will continue to research and study the evidence from Pennsylvania, and closely monitor the academic literature as it develops elsewhere," he said. (Read the letter here, http://bit.ly/WolfReply) We need much more than that. We need to know if rare cancers are turning up in other areas of the state where shale gas development has been active. We need to know if rare cancer diagnoses have spiked in other age groups. We need to know what parents of healthy children must do to make sure their kids aren't cancer patients by the time they're in their 20s. We've created this petition as a companion to the letter we delivered last month and are asking for Pennsylvanians and non-Pennsylvanians alike to sign it. (Read the Post-Gazette's gripping Human Toll investigative report to learn more http://bit.ly/PGHumanToll.)

  • The History Channel Must Stop Showing Roundup Ads
    Despite their GMO-free status, testing completed at Anresco, a laboratory registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), found glyphosate residues in Cheerios as well as other popular foods. General Mills' Cheerios are one of the first solid foods many parents feed to their children. They're small, convenient and easy to chew — and there's even a section on the Cheerios website for "new parents who have invited … original Cheerios to introduce their children to finger foods." When I heard this, I was appalled when I realized how widespread this problem was, since most parent use Cheerios as their go-to snack for their children. Every time I see one of Monsanto's ads for Roundup on The History Channel I promise myself to do something. This is why I am starting this petition. ________________________________________
