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!

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.

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?

This petition is directed at Governor Cuomo as motivation for him to walk his talk on climate, and to highlight the hypocrisy of his "call to arms".

Shark finning is the grisly act of catching a shark, cutting off its fins, and throwing it back in the water to drown, all to make fake medicines and soup that are actually bad for humans. While 12 states have banned such imports, ironically Florida, a state more reliant on the health of our oceans than most, has chosen not to. Being publicly known as the shark fin capital of the US not only damages our ecosystem but also our reputation and in turn, our local economy. Please tell Francis Suarez, Mayor of Miami, and our state legislature to formally ban all shark finning and shark fin imports.

This is a companion petition to an organizational sign-on letter the Better Path Coalition will deliver to Governor Wolf just after the beginning of the summer tourism season on Memorial Day. We will ask visitors of parks and state forests affected by shale gas development to sign this petition on the 4th of July and deliver it shortly thereafter. The petition language is excerpted from the sign-on letter. To read the full letter, visit bit.ly/WolfTourismLetter. If your organization would like to sign the letter, visit bit.ly/SignTourismLetter.

On 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.

The budget bill recently signed by President Trump allows for drilling in ANWR, so we need to mobilize opposition to this plan.

I would like required labeling for all products so that I know what I am consuming as well as what I am supporting with my purchases. I would like to see all ingredients (including fertilizers, etc.) so that we may compare the difference between organic and conventional produce.

This petition is about bringing environmental change while helping stop the unethical attack of industry on communities of color. As an Environmental Student also interest in Human Rights Abuse, I have created this petition to urge Congress to make greater efforts in stopping not only environmental abuse but environmental abuse specifically targeted at Non-White Hispanic communities, a blatant human rights abuse. -Climate Change effects low income and communities of color disproportionately greater than that of non-white Hispanic communities. - hazardous waste sites and industrial facilities are located more frequently in communities of color -children of color are more likely to be affected by lead poisoning Articles Cited Where you can also learn more... https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/news/2016/04/25/136361/5-things-to-know-about-communities-of-color-and-environmental-justice/ http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/tserve/nattrans/ntuseland/essays/envjust.htm

Mr 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'.

We live beside one of the Great Lakes, but we are separated from it for historic reasons which we should counteract for the good of the lake, the public, and the natural world we inhabit.
