As a Florida native who grew up on the southwest coast, I want to protect it and keep this natural beauty for my children and theirs after; not to mention protecting the marine life and the fish we eat.

Western Environmental Law Center is a nonprofit, public-interest environmental law firm. Our expert attorneys are committed to fighting in court to safeguard the climate and transition away from dirty fossil fuels.

The current voluntary Yellow Pages opt-out program is not working, it is merely a publicity stunt. I have opted out from receiving these wasteful books for a few years now, and I KEEP RECEIVING THEM EVERY SINGLE YEAR. The manufacturers keep getting away with it because it is a voluntary program and there are no laws to regulate it. The production of these unnecessary books causes more pollution, wastes natural resources, and wastes public money because municipalities have to deal with recycling them. Lots of them. Most people don't need or use those books, but they continue to be printed and delivered because somebody is making a profit. An opt-in program would prevent excessive books from being printed, and all people who still wanted them would always be able to sign up to continue to receive them. IT'S NOT A BAN on phone books, it is an optimization of resources. Only people who want the books would be receiving them -- it's common sense! I would love to see NJ as the first US State to achieve that. Please let's be environmental leaders again.

Carnival Corporation, the cruise ship giant, is polluting the Arctic -- with devastating impacts on its wildlife and communities. Carnival’s Arctic ships use heavy fuel oil -- a cheap and viscous fuel. As a company that relies on marketing a pristine Arctic, Carnival should be doing everything it can to protect this region -- not destroy it. So we need your help to urge it to clean up its act!

Dirty coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler is running the EPA now that Scott Pruitt is out. And he wants to pick up exactly where Scott Pruitt left off. We can’t let him. This week our environmental champions in Congress are demanding a vote to keep Wheeler from continuing Pruitt’s toxic agenda. It would freeze all of Pruitt’s most dangerous policies while the 12+ federal investigations into his corruption conclude. But some Republicans want to block the vote. We need your help to stop them!

In the last three years, 50 towns in Connecticut have passed local fracking waste bans. It's time our legislators got on board and passed a statewide ban. People have made it clear that they don't want this toxic waste in their communities. There is no safe way to treat toxic, radioactive fracking waste — and disposing of it here would threaten the health of Connecticut families. While fracking itself isn't happening in Connecticut, incoming waste from other states is a very real danger. It's time our elected officials moved to protect ALL of Connecticut by passing a permanent statewide ban on fracking waste. Tell them to Ban Fracking Waste Now!

After reading National Geographic’s issue about Planet or Plastic, I am striving to find ways to reduce the use of it. While it might be cheap, it is ruining the earth and marine life. Paper packing material also exists and is more environmentally friendly.

To save our beaches and keep the water clean and keep our families healthy!!

Hawaii and the world can't take a gradual approach to climate change. You've seen what it's doing to our weather, our beaches, our coral reefs. This resolution will strengthen Hawaii's various commitments to lead the nation in adopting clean energy, and hasten our progress toward those goals.

Help us save these precious 70-year-old heritage trees from being cut down because the city has deemed them inconvenient. They are living beings that deserve to be left in place for many to enjoy for years to come.

Demand that the EPA release the study which was reported to state that there is a link between formaldehyde exposure and leukemia. Tell top officials to stop playing politics with people's lives. https://health.10ztalk.com/2018/05/24/epa-slows-release-of-formaldehyde-cancer-risk-study-documents/ https://www.onenewspage.com/video/20180707/10275041/EPA-Reportedly-Blocking-Release-of-Formaldehyde-Cancer-Study.htm

To protect the millions of people from around the world who are affected by the City of Los Angeles legislation that allows illegal dumping on Venice Beach.
