In Juliana v. U.S., a group of youths, ages 11-22, filed suit against the US government for its affirmative actions that cause climate change, which have violated the youngest generation’s constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property, as well as failed to protect essential public trust resources. The fossil fuel industry and the Trump administration have requested multiple times that the case be dismissed, but all of these attempts have been rejected by the courts. The trial in the 9th Circuit of Appeals is set for October 29! Support these brave young people! Sign this petition and share!

Wildlife is under threat from human overpopulation and encroachment and deserves protection, not to be slaughtered.

It is the University of Oregon's responsibility to follow its Climate Action Plan to reduce carbon emissions, NOT to endorse what would be the largest greenhouse gas emitter in the state. The pipeline does more than just endanger our right to a stable climate, it also jeopardizes the safety and drinking water of marginalized communities across Oregon. The construction of this pipeline and export center would be a travesty. UO must follow its climate commitments and reject this irresponsible project by withdrawing from the Portland Business Alliance and publicly denouncing the fracked gas pipeline.

I don't want to see the green future handed over to other countries. America can do it better, smarter, and more efficiently. In decades to come our economy will roar from it, and our grandchildren will thank us for doing the right thing for the planet.

Hurricane Michael is a monster storm, fueled by global warming pollution. It cut an unprecedented path of terrible destruction through the Florida panhandle. Hundreds of thousands of Floridians faced mandatory evacuation orders even as the October 9 voter registration deadline approached. Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on October 7 and has been making dozens of TV appearances but has refused to extend the voter registration deadline. The people of Florida need to be able to focus right now on keeping themselves and their loved ones safe, not on whether they'll be able to cast their ballots. Rick Scott is a climate change denier and was the chairman of Donald Trump's Super PAC. He is playing partisan politics with our democracy—just like he did when Hurricane Matthew hit Florida in 2016. This is unacceptable.

The IPCC just gave the world its conservative estimate that we have 12 years to do whatever we can to mitigate the effects of climate change before it's too late. And yet, Trump's nominee to fill Robert Powelson's vacancy on the five-member panel of commissioners at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is a pro-fossil fuel shill. Read his Earth Day op-ed for The Hill referenced in the petition to get a good sense of who he is. https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/383605-this-earth-day-lets-accept-the-critical-role-that-fossil-fuel We just learned that the Senate is planning to move quick to get Bernard McNamee confirmed. His confirmation hearing has already been scheduled for November. We need to push hard on senators to reject this terrible candidate.

Lot's of Marine life is dying cause of the Toxic Algae bloom Going Around Florida.Let's get as many signatures as we can on this to make Rundown Water pollution illegal.

McDee's Cat Colony has been in existence for 12+ years at the same location. Mattress Firm was aware of the cat colony when they purchased the property. Recently, Mattress Firm placed a padlock on the gate, preventing Caregivers from entering and tending to the colony. As a result, there were 3 cats found deceased in the shelters that may have been able to receive care. Also, Mattress Firm recently began Throwing Away all the Shelters, as well as Humane Trapping Equipment that was being used to trap 3 new cats that needed to be TNR. This action resulted in the birth of 5 kittens. Several attempts have been made to contact management to possibly cease any further action until Arrangements can be made for possible relocation by animal rescue groups. Mattress Firm told caregivers that the reason for evicting the cat colony was due to him and possible customers having allergies as well as flies in the area. Mattress Firm did not post any warnings about the cats or shelters needing removal. According to management, everyone is directed to contact corporate, who has yet to respond. Please sign to let Mattress Firm how Cruel and Inhuman their actions against homeless and defenseless cats were, especially with winter months approaching.

If there is one thing we all should be able to agree on, it is this: Climate change is real. The scientific evidence needs to be taken seriously. Let's unite our country around this issue.

My son is only 5 years old and deserves, along with all American children, to live in a country that puts children first. Children are uniquely susceptible to pesticides and other environmental chemicals, and such exposure is linked to a myriad of pediatric illnesses and diseases. Children deserve a healthy future. Removing the EPA's Office of Children's Health Protection puts all our children at risk. See also https://blog.ucsusa.org/kathleen-rest/uncertain-fate-of-epas-office-of-childrens-health-protection

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) should not allow Plum to become an industrial waste dump. On Oct 1st, DEP held a public hearing on the proposed conversion of the Sedat 3A well (a conventional gas well) in Plum Borough, Allegheny County to a waste injection well, which will dispose of liquid waste from oil and gas development in the region. Penneco Environmental Solutions has proposed the creation of a waste injection well that will accept. 2.3 million gallons per month of industrial water waste, making it the largest injection well in Pennsylvania. Approximately 19 tanker trucks transporting industrial industrial waste will be driving into the community of Plum Borough every day.

Citizens to Protect Oakmont is a volunteer-led group working to protect Oakmont from oil and gas drilling in our community. Last year, CPO and Food & Water Watch succeeded in installing a pending ordinance that would protect our community from the harms of Oil and Gas Drilling, but now Oakmont Borough Council is looking to enact an ordinance that could open up Oakmont to oil and gas drilling in residential areas. We need to push Council to reject this ordinance and amend to increase setbacks, eliminate the Borough exemption and provide for all Oil and Gas Infrastructure in industrial zones only. Council will be voting to adopt these changes on October 9th unless we take action to have our voices heard.
