Mandatory RecyclingRestaurants, bars, clubs, convenience and grocery stores have no mandatory recycling rule in place and no incentive to start. I want to call on everyone who knows and cares about this huge and very important issue to help make it mandatory for any establishment that sells glass bottles or plastic bottles to recycle them. If there is any interest in something like this, then incentives can be created for these places of business to participate and fines can be established and issued to those who do not comply. If a business is allowed to sell glass or plastic bottles, they MUST recycle both. Beach bars and restaurants are especially guilty of filling their dumpsters with glass and plastic bottles. Convenience and grocery stores are guilty of supplying the very bottles that litter our streets and fill our dumpsters. This practice must end now and reasonable incentives need to be put in place to make compliance something that is not resented by targeted business establishments.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Karrissa Gamble

Create an Allegheny County Fracking Lease RegistryAllegheny County is denying us public access to information about where the fracking industry has leased land. County Council Member Anita Prizio has introduced legislation to change this by creating an Allegheny County Lease registry. It would allow residents, local governments and public safety personnel to know where fracking leases are in the county. Making this information available to the public would give us the time we need to organize to prevent fracking wells.183 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Emma E Petit

Don't renew an invalid mountaintop removal permitAlpha Natural Resources' subsidiary Republic Energy has applied for renewal of the 2,040-acre (3+ square miles) "Eagle 2" mountaintop removal coal mine, part of over 10 square miles of destruction on Coal River Mountain. Mountaintop removal blasts fine and ultrafine silica dust and other pollutants into the air, creating a public health threat for nearby residents. At this location, it destroys habitat for the endangered Indiana bat and the threatened northern long-eared bat. WVDEP has failed to take effective action for this company's failure to meet legal requirements at this site and history of violations at neighboring sites.587 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Debbie Jarrell

DA Fladager: Free the Baby Cows and Drop the ChargesThree DxE activists were arrested Sunday on charges of felony grand theft and misdemeanor trespass at Ray-Mar Ranches, a California factory farm which supplies calves to Harris Ranch, and beef to Costco and In-N-Out Burger, for removing a living calf who had been abandoned in a dead pile area. A previous DxE investigation discovered a mass graveyard of dead cows and thousands of living baby cows in hutches where they could not even turn around without hitting the walls. The three arrested women had gone back to the farm to bear witness to the animals when they found a dying calf thrown like garbage into the farm's dead zone. We're calling on the Stanislaus County District Attorney to prosecute this abusive farm and not the women who tried to save a dying baby cow. Sign the petition to free the baby cows and drop the charges.16,702 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Wayne

Stop the Rezoning of 15 acres in Tevalo Hills in Valrico, FLWe live in a rural neighborhood of 1-5 acre home sites. The proposed rezoning of this 15-acre plot of land will dramatically affect traffic, wildlife and the character of the neighborhood. We know we can not stop progress but 52 homes to an already congested area will be detrimental to the surrounding families and neighborhoods.1,082 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Tiffany Willis

Zinn Drive, Oakland Fire Trail needs to be cleaned up!On a recent walk on this trail which runs between Asilomar and Drake streets in the Oakland hills, I was horrified to see that at least 13 trees have fallen near to or above either side of the fire trail. Some of those close to the trail have been cut up, but all parts (trunks, small branches with leaves and larger branches) were left behind, with some blocking a natural water drainage area and trail through the canyon area, creating a fire hazard rather than a fire prevention or firefighting area.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Francioch
