The trump organization has no care as to what they destroy to make way for a border wall. No land, homes to endangered species, should be threatened. trump has shown he has no care for endangered species, wildlife, or Americas National Parks. Please sign this petition to let them know we will not tolerate this blatant disregard for our environment.

We only have until 2030 to slow down global warming, and the US needs to do its part.

Closure of the GM Lordstown Assembly Plant would be a disaster for thousands of working families and scores of communities in NE Ohio. The most viable option to prevent plant closure is to echo the call by GM for a zero-emission future through mass production of long-range all-electric vehicles and call for the allocation of the cars of the future at Lordstown.

We need legislation that adheres to science and facts and which enables us to use all possible technological means to combat climate change. We should not allow energy policies having ulterior motives (and fossil fuel bedfellows) to derail united efforts to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Renewables (because they are intermittent) are increasingly forcing utilities to build natural gas capacity . . . defeating progress reducing emissions. Only 100% Clean Energy standards force utilities to drive down emissions. This means they must pair renewables with other types of clean energy, including hydro, geothermal and clean nuclear power. Let's shut down the RPS backdoor, that has allowed natural gas and fossil fuels to thrive at our climate's expense.

The federal government continues to deny the reality of climate change and refuses to take immediate action to protect the future of humanity. A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that emissions must peak by 2020 to limit global warming to 1.5C and then steadily drop. According to the Global Carbon Project, U.S. emissions rose in 2018. Our government is not doing enough to protect us.

Chaco Canyon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a sacred ancestral place for the Hopi, Navajo, and Pueblo people. Oil and gas development threatens the area’s rich cultural resources, treasured landscapes, and living native communities while ignoring federal law. Over 91% of Greater Chaco is already leased for oil and gas drilling, and after record-breaking protest comments in March 2018, Interior Secretary Zinke deferred the lease sale of over 4,000 acres of land in Greater Chaco, calling for more cultural study and consultation. But no additional study or consultation occurred. Although BLM quietly deferred parcels within the Farmington Field Office, the agency proceeded with the sale of 30 parcels and 41,000 acres of lands within the Rio Puerco Field Office, still within Greater Chaco and home to living Navajo communities and innumerable culturally sacred sites. The Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm and our expert attorneys are committed to fighting in court to save Greater Chaco and its people from oil and gas exploitation and to transition away from dirty fossil fuels. Please help us take a stand.

Global warming and climate change are happening. Many different factors contribute to this, but there is one factor that can potentially decrease the rate at which climate change is happening. Only 34% of Americans recycle; all of the other waste gets dumped into landfills. Plastic is a recyclable material, but it far too often ends up in landfills. Plastic contains toxic chemicals which seep into the groundwater under landfills. Plastic also kills marine life. Recycling needs to be made mandatory so issues like this do not persist.

I am a Sierra Club member and have taught in schools over the last 30 years that global warming is coming and it is here.

I am an avid animal rights activist, and the assaults against animals and wildlife are getting more severe and abusive!

I'm a Woolsey Fire survivor -- I'm on the frontlines of climate change. So are too many others in America. Climate change isn't some far off, abstract threat -- it's right here, right now, and it needs to be a national priority. The Green New Deal is a big bold outline that can stop runaway climate change. And the American public deserves leaders who are not influenced by the fossil fuel industry in drafting laws making the Green New Deal reality. What's in the Green New Deal? 1) 100% of national power generation from renewable sources; (2) Building a national, energy-efficient, "smart" grid; (3) Upgrading every residential and industrial building for state-of-the-art energy efficiency, comfort and safety; (4) Decarbonizing the manufacturing, agricultural and other industries; (5) Decarbonizing, repairing and improving transportation and other infrastructure; (6) Funding massive investment in the drawdown and capture of greenhouse gases; (7) Making "green" technology, industry, expertise, products, and services a major export of the United States.

Single-use plastic bags are a growing problem. These bags are made from petrochemicals (polyethylene) and are often used only once and for a few minutes or seconds then thrown away (on average, 12 minutes), but stay in our landfills, rivers, streams, lakes, oceans, and environment for centuries. In 2010, 4 to 12 million metric tons of plastic entered waterways. These bags break down into thousands of plastic pieces and are now found in our drinking water as well as in the fish and seafood we eat. With the current use, by 2050, it is estimated that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Additionally, these plastic bags contaminate the land, kill wildlife, gather rainwater offering a perfect spot for mosquitoes that transmit diseases to reproduce, and pose a threat to machinery at recycling centers. We the undersigned, support the adoption of a local ordinance that will ban the use of single-use plastic bags with a long-term solution not to shift from plastic to paper, but to shift to durable reusable bags in the Town of Bennington, VT

The petition speaks for itself, and I have been personally affected by climate change, thanks to a freak windstorm that tore part of the roof off my house, which resulted in mold that put me in the hospital.
