I'm starting this petition because when I was younger, I bought the ticket to support their harming of these extraordinary creatures, and now I'd like to return it for a better deal. I would like to return it for their lives in the wild where we all know they want and deserve to be.

We are aiming to ban all plastic grocery bags in the city.

As an institution which prides itself on it’s progressive and environmentally conscious ideology, it’s time for the University of Hawaii at Manoa to step up and eliminate single use plastic straws from campus. 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.

Everyone in the State of New Jersey recognizes that Deer population has grown out of control. Not only does the high deer population adversely affect local farmers and agriculture, they also destroy landscaping, pose a health hazard with the growth of Lyme and other deer tick borne diseases as well as cause thousands of accidents on our roads every year. By moving the Division of Fish and Wildlife from the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Agriculture, ultimate control will be vested in a Department that understands the harm that the mismanagement of NewJersey Wildlife causes each year. Perhaps more importantly, this move will also put the ultimate control of the management of over 350,000 acres of open space in New Jersey into an agency that recognizes the importance of management of that open space for the benefit of all people, not just a limited number of hunters. Currently every year more and more farm land is taken out of active farming and allowed to grow up into brush and weeds by the Division of Fish and Wildlife.

Climate change is the most important issue of our time. We have to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions substantially. Divesting from fossil fuels is a critical tool in this effort. Oregon Saves is a tremendous opportunity for workers without employer-sponsored retirement programs to save for retirement. Oregon Saves impacts about 100,000 employers. We must have a fossil fuel-free investment option for those workers so their retirement funds aren’t working against the future of our planet. Please sign and share this petition to help give Oregon workers the opportunity for a retirement investment that complements our climate goals.

We stopped the use of styrofoam, which has trickled out of our city and made our county less polluting. Let's lead the way with single-use plastic straws and silverware! We can do this, Takoma Park!

According to PNM's own analysis, the San Juan Generating Station is not the most cost-effective resource option for New Mexicans. The fire and explosion in March have left Unit 1 inoperable. Before ANY money is spent on repairing the Unit, alternatives should be explored and a cost/benefit analysis should be provided to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission and the public.

Governor Jerry Brown claims he’s a climate leader, yet under his watch California has continued to aggressively drill for dirty oil and gas. We know we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we're going to meet our climate goals, but Governor Brown has resisted any effort to restrict oil and gas production in our state. It’s time for that to change. As we move towards the end of Governor Brown’s time in office, we’re saying loud and clear: This is Brown’s Last Chance! Over 750 organizations have already signed on, along with thousands of Californians and others from around the nation. True climate leadership will help protect the health and safety of 39 million Californians and ensure a more equitable and healthy future for the billions of people around the world who look to Gov. Brown to help set the course.

I have not been personally affected as much as others, but I see the need, not just in Flint , but also other places where the State has neglected needed infrastructure. They are waiting for someone else to do something. It’s ironic that Michigan ‘s slogan is “Pure Michigan,” but pure water is not accessible everywhere.

This particular portion of Wendell State Forest has not been logged in over 110 years. It is one of the oldest, and most untouched, pristine parts of Wendell State Forest. It WILL be logged in November 2018 if it is not stopped. This forest is enjoyed by the people of Wendell and the surrounding area. It is the most loved, most walked portion of Wendell State Forest. We the people of Wendell, and the surrounding area do not want it "managed" for the benefit of the biomass, and wood pellet industry. We want this 80 acre old oak forest reserved as a wildland. This forest has been a wildland for over 100 years. We want it to remain exactly as it is, untouched by human interference.

Today, Republicans in Congress unveiled their Farm Bill. This bill would be a disaster for our food system. It would harm our environment and public health. And it would allow pesticide companies to keep poisoning bees and butterflies. This bill is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Ag. We need your help to push your Representative to reject it!

Monarch butterflies are in trouble. They’ve declined by 90% in the last 20 years. And a key culprit is the massive increase in the use of glyphosate -- the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup®. The EPA is accepting public comments on whether to let Monsanto keep poisoning our food system with glyphosate. But you only have a few days left to speak up and urge the EPA to ban this toxic pesticide!
