DNC should reconsider holding a Presidential debate focused on the climate crisisClimate crisis will be the most pressing issue the next President of the US will face. It is the most critical issue this planet has ever faced. We are asking the DNC to reconsider their stance on not having a Presidential debate focused on climate change or allow the Candidates to have their own debate focused on the issue. The climate crisis should be the most prominent issue on all Democratic Candidate's platforms. The DNC should be considering the climate crisis as its #1 platform issue as well.209 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Sue Tarpey

West Windsor Community : Ban StyrofoamStyrofoam is a terrible product for our health and the environment. However it is used ubiquitously because of its practical utility. Styrofoam is recyclable, but few municipalities offer this to their residents. Worse yet, when stained with your favorite take out foods, it cannot be recycled. West Windsor , NJ should join those who recycle styrofoam, or preferably, force it’s restaurants to switch to eco-friendly take-out containers by banning styrofoam containers in restaurants.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shalu Thaman

Reject the Oneonta Railyards GEIS as writtenI am starting this petition because as a city resident, I do not want the City of Oneonta to bring more fracked gas and “bomb trucks” through the city where I live. As written, the GEIS document will allow: * Development on a brownfield (contaminated soil) which could be a danger to surrounding neighborhoods. * Paving over wetlands which could cause toxic stormwater and flooding in the 6th Ward. * Massive energy requirements needing a decompressor to fuel the Railyards with Compressed Natural Gas transported in “bomb trucks” on local roads and through dangerous intersections. * Pollution from Heavy Industry including a garbage-burning or “fracked” gas power plant. * Constant truck traffic, noise, lights, odors, and toxic emissions. Instead, the GEIS should: Protect our property values and quality of life, protect our air quality and health, prevent flooding and protect wetlands, and focus on clean and renewable energy. *** City of Oneonta residents- if you feel comfortable, please mention your Ward in the comments area when you sign***106 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Betsy Holland

Stop conversion of Saucon pool into dog shelter/police substation!Do not want a commercial structure in our historic park. The park has flooded, which would make it unsafe for the dogs. The barking dogs will disrupt the tranquility of the park setting and may stress the young children playing in the adjoining playground. The presence of a police station in a park setting may act as a deterrent for peaceful park patrons. The sight of multiple police cars in the park parking lot may cause a sense of stress and unwanted concern. We would like to see our green parks serve the community as an environment of nature and peace. Saucon Park is rich in history dating back 100 years. Please preserve the park history and find a more suitable place in an industrial area for this dog shelter/police station!23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Olivia Funghini

Mayor Breed: We Need Trees to Battle Climate Change!For nearly 5 decades San Francisco has woefully managed its urban forest and the results are in: we have the worst urban canopy of any major city in the U.S. Yet now, right after SF declared a climate emergency - and climate change is destroying our planet - the city has decided to ELIMINATE money for tree planting from its budget. Actions have consequences. We cannot continue to abuse our planet. We must do everything we can to leave this city and our world sustainable for generations to come.443 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Klipp

Save Our TreesIn 1987 some 42 acres of pristine forest land was generously donated to the Newton Falls Board of Education for "educational or public purposes" and for "the maximum enjoyment of the general public", according to the deed restrictions. However, to gain a mere pittance, the current Board auctioned off the trees on this public property to a small logging company not certified by the Ohio Forestry Association. A Temporary Restraining Order has prevented their destruction so far. All pleas and alternative means to save the trees have fallen on deaf ears. Perhaps this petition will not.82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Werner Lange

Gushers: Use Sustainable Palm OilAs someone who enjoys gushers, I think it's fairly simple to understand why they're so popular. However, given that gushers are a lunchbox favorite around America, and that General Mills is a multimillion dollar corporation, it's quite surprising to find out that they do NOT practice sustainable farming habits to aquire the palm oil which they use for their Fruit Gushers. Join me in calling upon CEO Harmening and making sure lunchtime treats don't come at the cost of degrading the forests of Malaysia and Borneo.376 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lena Fatimi
