City Of Duluth: We need to talk about the Husky Energy ExplosionOn April 27th at the Husky Energy Refinery in Superior, a series of explosions and fires put the citizens of Superior and surrounding communities at great risk of being exposed to toxic substances, including the possibility of releasing a stored fluoride chemical into the atmosphere in a high enough volume that it could kill over 100,000 people, according to estimates by scientists. In the wake of this event, the Mayors of Duluth and Superior called for the discontinuation of the use of Fluoride at that facility. I am hoping this petition can help inspire our elected officials and our community as a whole to use resources to have a real conversation about the dangers posed to our community by fossil fuel infrastructures such as pipelines and refineries.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jesse Peterson

Ethics Committee: Dismiss Scott Pruitt as EPA DirectorMr Pruitt has shown complete dismissal and arrogance in the job he has accepted in representing ALL of the citizens of our country, not just special interest factions. He is directly impacting my personal right, as well as EVERY PERSON IN THE USA who is concerned about their personal health and welfare. He has crossed 'the line in the sand'.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bernadette Preszler

More Recycling Bins on USC CampusWe feel strongly that USC should set an example of what proper recycling hygiene looks like. It starts with appropriate infrastructure, and we can build up from there with new, creative innovations and solutions.347 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Carter Boisfontaine

No Compressor StationSpectra Energy / Enbridge plans to build a 7,700-horsepower Fracked-Gas Compressor Station adjacent to the brand new Fore River Bridge in North Weymouth. The Weymouth Compressor Station would be built in the most densely populated location ever in the United States. Compressors are usually built in rural areas given their environmental, health, and safety risks. Compressors pose a serious health risk, especially when in such close proximity to a dense residential area. This proposed compressor station will create noise, pollution and odor problems that will affect residents in surrounding areas and all along the South Shore. There is also a history of catastrophic accidents at similar compressors that could paralyze traffic, devastate our waterfront, and put residents at very serious risk. There is no public vote and limited public input in this process, so it is important for everyone to join the ongoing opposition to ensure that our voices are heard. Join us as we ask our Local, State, and Federal governments and regulatory agencies to put a stop to this foolish and dangerous idea.755 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Lesley Acton

Demand that pulp & paper giant APP keep its promisesI have recently learned of APP’s links to PT BRS in Bangka Belitung and of APP’s intention to bring the company on as a supplier. I am calling on APP to implement its policies and respect the rights and demands of the people of Bangka Belitung who have rejected pulp and paper plantations on their traditionally owned land.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rainforest Action Network

If 17,600 undergraduate and graduate students at University of Hawaii at Manoa, can publicly make this one simple change in their campus life, it will encourage other schools as well as small and large businesses to also make the change.1,162 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Surfrider UH
