• Make Sky Haven a protected, Public Park in DeKalb County, Georgia.
    Sky Haven is an empty, 14 acre property owned by the DeKalb County Public School System. The property is located in the East Atlanta neighborhood and provides high value tree canopy, a headwater stream, and needed neighborhood greenspace that supports abundant wildlife and critical stormwater management. The property is not officially a public park, nor is it protected greenspace. It could be sold or destroyed at any time.

  • Mandatory Recycling
    Restaurants, 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.

  • Ontario SPCA: Investigate Adare Pork and Help the Pigs!
    Repeated DxE investigations of Adare Pork have found animals with their organs coming out of their bodies in a condition called prolapse.

Tell the OSPCA you #SupportJenny and demand that the suffering pigs be helped.

  • George County, MS needs to take responsibility for stray animals in the county.
    Since taking over the Lucedale Animal Shelter, Dixie Adoptables has saved the lives of over 2,000 animals in George County, but we are overwhelmed financially since we only receive funding from the city, not the county.

  • Create an Allegheny County Fracking Lease Registry
    Allegheny 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.

  • Don't renew an invalid mountaintop removal permit
    Alpha 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.

  • DA Fladager: Free the Baby Cows and Drop the Charges
    Three 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.

  • Stop the Rezoning of 15 acres in Tevalo Hills in Valrico, FL
    We 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.

  • 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.
