Thundercloud Subs: Stop using polystyrene cupsI love Thundercloud Subs, but am disappointed by their use of polystyrene cups. Plastic pollution is a growing problem, responsible for country-sized swirling gyres of plastic waste in our oceans and growing landfills in our country’s interior. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. Polystyrene foam, commonly referred to as Styrofoam, is among the worst forms of plastic pollution. Like all plastics, it does not biodegrade but breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, which means every bit of polystyrene ever made is still out there.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Luke Metzger

Make the Town of Hickory Creek Beautiful AgainWe understand the first amendment and respect one's right to express their opinion. With that stated, recently an absurd number of negative signage has littered the landscape of our town (mini billboards). It is our hope that a city ordinance limiting the size and scope of signage can be put in place to prevent this from getting out of control in the future.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Akerblom

Ban Single Use Plastic Bags In ColoradoColorado 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 RETIRED242 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Isaac Mccorkle

PLASTIC BAN at Santa Monica GovernmentThe 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.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Compassionate Santa Monica

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.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sara DeGregoria

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 AllI 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.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Richard-Amato
