  • Ban Single Use Plastic Bags In Colorado
    Colorado should be leading the pack, working towards stopping environmental degradation. Banning plastic bags is a good start. The United States uses about 12 million barrels of oil in plastic bags each year. This endangers our fragile climate and our national security. These bags ultimately wind up as wasted space in our landfills at best, and as pollution in our wildlands at worst -- choking Rocky Mountain wildlife, clogging the Arkansas and Colorado Rivers, and filling up the Pacific garbage patch. I voted for the ban on plastic bags in California when I lived there. As a proud Colorado resident, I believe it is time for Colorado to also do the responsible thing! To do what the scientific evidence deems necessary. Ban plastic bags! Stop the unwarranted use of fossil petroleum. Protect our environment! Keep Colorado Beautiful and help keep more plastic from going into our oceans... Semper Fi Isaac”IKE”McCorkle Combat Wounded USMC RETIRED

    I am constantly picking up these bags from ditches, out of rivers and on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If people can’t stop themselves from littering them then they don’t need to be given them in our stores here.

  • PLASTIC BAN at Santa Monica Government
    The Environmental Sector of Compassionate Santa Monica aligned with Earth Day Network Educational Campaign: A World Without Plastic Pollution--which is mobilizing compassionate citizens across the globe to bring about a new level of consciousness and change around plastics pollution. The world must perceive plastics not only as an environmental challenge of global proportions but as a marker of the human values that must change in order to build a more sustainable and just world. Scientific research reveals the adverse impact plastics have on Public Health. To that end, we have created 2 other petitions addressed to the Board of Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District, Santa Monica College Board of Trustees.

  • Ban Leaf Blowers in Madison!
    Leaf blowers are an unnecessary nuisance. Spreading airborne particles and creating 70-decibel noise levels at 50 ft., at the very least leaf blowers need regulation. Cities in California, New Jersey, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas (just to name a few) have either enacted outright bans or restricted these pollution-creating devices. The progressive community of Madison needs to follow suit in saving the ears and lungs of its residents.

  • No Wi-Fi Tower on Charlemont's scenic Legate Hill Rd.
    My wife Godeliève Richard, who lives on Legate Hill near the proposed site, developed microwave sickness in 2010. There are now more than 350,000 people receiving disability payments for this condition in Sweden alone. Property values near cell towers have been shown to drop 10 - 20%. Pollinators, children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to the 24X7 increase in microwave radiation exposure this would create. On March 28, scientists reviewing the National Toxicology Program’s 25 million dollar rat study concluded that there is “clear evidence” linking microwave radiation to the development of cancer. There are now more than 25,000 studies dating back to those by the U.S. Navy in the 1970’s linking this exposure to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, tree damage, DNA damage, oxidative stress, behavior and attention issues, sleep problems, pollinator decline, Autism, decreased sperm count, and more.

  • Hydrogen Fluoride at Husky Energy Oil Refinery Could Have killed us All
    I live here and learned in 2011 how deadly this chemical, if released, would be to workers, to the environment, and to the entire community within 25 miles. The low- hanging cloud could put 180,000 people in the Twin Ports area at risk of injury or death. Hydrogen fluoride is still being used at this refinery even though the management was told 8 years ago that other safer technologies existed. Husky Energy owes it to us as citizens to explain why this refinery is continuing to put at risk the workers, the environment, and all of us across the Twin Ports area.

  • No Nuclear Waste at Yucca Mountain!
    For years, short-sighted politicians have been trying to turn Nevada's Yucca Mountain into a storage site for nuclear waste. Now they're close to making it a reality, and we need to push back. The House passed a bill that would start the process for bringing nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain – and transporting it through communities in 44 states on its way there, endangering water sources and families every step of the way. Tell your senators: Don't allow nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain!

  • Permanently Protect Chaco Canyon
    U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke recently halted an oil and gas lease sale near Chaco Canyon in order to further review the potential impacts from oil and gas drilling. Drilling in this area would destroy a sacred place that holds incredible importance to Navajo residents living in the area. It also has the potential to contaminate the air, water, and land that the surrounding community relies on, putting their health and well-being at risk. We need to keep the pressure on Secretary Zinke to permanently protect Chaco Canyon from oil and gas drilling. Please sign and share this petition to stand with us.

  • Mayor Kriseman: St. Petersburg should offer curbside yard waste pickup to its residents
    The EPA says that in the US in 2012, 65.3 million tons of recyclable materials were recovered from landfills. However, only 21.3 million tons of yard waste was recovered. In St. Petersburg, we generate a lot of yard waste, but disposing of it is difficult. Bagging and hauling dozens of bags of leaves every season to the city compost facility is a big job. Why not make it as easy as putting out a trash can once a week?
