For far too long wealthy land owners in Florida have inhibited the ability of Soil & Water Conservation Districts to properly advise residents on the long term effects of current laws and urban development practices. Our goal is to re-enable SWC Districts all across the state thereby protecting the future of all Floridians.

End HAARP end Chem Trails. We need cleaner air so we can slow down sickness and cleaner water in order to be healthier.

These massive facilities are essentially floating factory farms that devastate our ocean ecosystem, public health, society and the economy. Rather than throwing its support behind industrial fish farms in our oceans, Congress should be building more support for sustainable seafood production alternatives. But we need your help to convince it to act!

The Trump administration is trying to slash safety and environmental protection rules for drilling in our oceans. In other words, Trump wants to let the oil industry drill in more places -- all while making it less safe. The Department of the Interior wants to know what the public thinks about this plan. We need your help to send 30,000 comments saying NO to Big Oil destroying our oceans!

Congress is about to vote on a bill that would slash protections for our oceans and marine life. This bill would allow large-scale, commercial fishing companies to pollute our environment and engage in harmful and reckless overfishing practices. We need your help to stop this bill from passing!

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the government to request public input into projects, seek less harmful alternatives, and minimize the impact on the environment. In short, it’s the “Magna Carta of environmental law.” Now, the White House wants to gut NEPA, setting the stage to eliminate it entirely. This would be a huge giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. We need your help to stop it!

Recently, the State of Delaware has legalized certain ground-based fireworks for sale and use within the State of Delaware. This, along with other illegal fireworks being used within residential communities, including late night, has caused property damage from falling burning debris and stress to residents, as well as pets, and is a nuisance. The use of any fireworks, including "State Legal", within residential communities should be banned, and firework displays should be left to the professionals.

DANA POINT, CA — Don't ask for a light, don't try to bum a smoke; not in Dana Point, or Laguna Beach. The new citywide smoking ban was passed this week at Dana Point's city council meeting. The new law will prohibit smoking anywhere in public spaces within city limits, including public sidewalks, alleys and in parking lots. And especially on beaches. The vote passed, 3-2, with both mayor Pro Tem Joe Muller and Mayor Rick Viczorek opposing the law. The no smoking ordinance, originally introduced by Councilwoman Debra Lewis in May of 2017, will be enforceable in February, according to the council. "Three out of four residents want this passed. It's our role to protect the health and welfare of our residents," Lewis stated before the vote was cast. Residents spoke on the ban, with fourteen supporting and one arguing in a dissenting voice. Residents spoke up on behalf of the ban, one bringing with him an enormous water jug filled with found cigarette butts he said were found around the city. South OC's Surfrider Foundation displayed the jug that held roughly 3,000 cigarette butts discovered in less than two hours on a Saturday of beach clean up. He promised to open the bottle to reveal the stench if anyone wanted, but also warned the smell would clear the room. Subscribe "These are toxic packages that go into the environment," Rick Erkeneff, also of Surfrider Foundation, told all in attendance. "We spent $20 million on beautifying, and planters are full of cigarette butts. When you don't have a clean environment, you'll see the tourism dollars drop off." Signage will be the next thing to follow, at the 12 entrances into Dana Point, informing visitors and residents of the ban. Dana Point City Council Meeting Video photo

The purpose of this petition is to battle the plastic crisis from which our world is currently suffering. These products when disposed of improperly and recklessly can cause great harm to plant/sea life. All plastics are petroleum based and nonbiodegradable. The immediate implementation of biodegradable and environmentally friendly products just in our community will bring every other town to follow us.

Law enforcement in North Carolina is devoting substantial resources in the search for Rain, a baby goat rescued from a meat farm. Rain was suffering from pneumonia at a meat farm where animals had previously been seen collapsed on the ground in their own filth. Rain received emergency medical care and is today happy and healthy. But the Sheriff in Transylvania County is now threatening animal caretakers with felonies -- including a mother with two children -- unless Rain is sent back for slaughter. I have played with goats, and they have the same feelings as a dog or cat. I don’t want to see Rain, who has already suffered so much, sent back to an abusive place, and I’m respectfully asking the Sheriff to call off the hunt for Rain and drop all charges against activists who helped to rescue him.

The NJ BEAR Group and our coalition of supporters asks Governor Murphy to honor his sacred promise and put a moratorium on the New Jersey bear hunt. We also ask our NJ legislature to enact and embrace bear smart legislation (for example Pedals Law). This legislation includes educating residents on ways to peacefully coexist with black bears. Containment of artificial food sources like garbage and bird feeders is key. Hunters are allowed to bait and shoot all bears including mothers and cubs with human food including doughnuts. Bows and arrows are allowed. This is cruel as this weapon has about a 50% wounding rate.

To decrease the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills and oceans. At least 100 million marine mammals die due to plastic pollution in a year and effects at least 700 marine species. The environment should be one of our top priorities due to all of the industry that is happening in our modern day world.
