The straw upon request movement is a simple way to get people to reduce there impact on our amazing planet. Straw upon request means when you buy beverage or go to a restaurant they will ask you before they give you a straw. Every day people use over 500 million straws. Save the truffles - straw less NJ - stop sucking

This energy-intensive, coal-burning smelter will emit hundreds to thousands of tons of greenhouse gases and other coal toxins annually. The carbon footprint will be tremendous. The Pend Oreille River Valley, the Little Spokane watershed and North Idaho will be blanketed with toxic emissions. This smelter will be located within one-to-two miles of eight Newport schools, athletic fields, parks, the Newport Hospital, and downtown Newport. HiTest/PacWest claims it will be a “green” facility, but only 5% of its product will be for solar cells. The tremendous carbon and toxic coal footprint of the smelter will never be offset. Governor Inslee: you claim to be the “climate candidate”. But your support for this proposed smelter only demonstrates a contradictory approach to climate change. Our livelihoods, health and economy will be devastated. Governor Inslee: we ask that you please withdraw your support and endorsement of the HiTest/PacWest Newport smelter.

We are residents and concerned neighbors of the COALITION TO OPPOSE THE EXPANSION OF US ECOLOGY- Detroit. There are more than 25K people within 2 miles of the US ECOLOGY NORTH hazardous waste facility. We must protect our people, our water, our air from further pollution and potential harm from a facility fire or a truck accident/spill, impacting our neighborhoods.

Climate 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.

Styrofoam 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.

We are committed to reducing the waste we generate and the harm we do to the planet. Single use plastic bags devastate ecosystems, injuring animals and introducing Xenoestrogens into our water supplies. These bags can easily be replaced by various reusable substitutes to reduce harm to the planet with little personal effort. support a cleaner NC by signing our petition.

I 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***

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!

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.

In 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.

It is time to bring attention to the prime sources of global warming. Manufacturing solar/wind generation in the USA will aid our economy. These jobs could be in fossil fuel processing states to compensate for lost incomes.

This smelter will destroy our beautiful lives; homes; waters; recreation; and the health of our children.
