  • Utah: Drop the Charges for Saving Lily the Piglet
    Following an investigation of a Smithfield farm and the rescue of an underweight piglet named Lily that garnered massive media attention, five activists with Direct Action Everywhere are facing felony charges of sixty years in prison. The FBI obtained cellphone records to gather evidence against the activists and even sent armed agents to local sanctuaries to search for the piglet. This tremendous effort to repress whistleblowers -at the cost of American tax dollars- shows how Big Ag and its government allies are terrified of the public seeing the truth. We are asking Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes to prosecute animal abuse on factory farms like Smithfield's instead of targeting the investigators who expose the truth. Whistleblowers who expose animal abuse should be protected, not prosecuted.

  • Good job Hilton! Now please take the next step for our environment.
    Hilton has made good strides to eliminate one-time-use plastics and styrofoam, which are detrimental to the health of our planet and are filling up our oceans. Now it's time for them to take another step and lead the way in the hotel industry by replacing small, one-time-use plastic containers for items such as shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. with large permanent dispensers that can be refilled, cutting down on the amount of plastic waste in the world.

  • California does not want coal energy
    Assemblymember Chris Holden's bill AB 813 failed last year, but now he's trying again to jeopardize California's clean energy future by pushing us into a regional grid with coal-producing states. California already has access to out-of-state electricity. We don't need to surrender control of our energy system.

  • Make Colorado Green Again
    I moved to Colorado because of its excellent reputation for being a progressive and forward - thinking place. I have since learned that it's one of the dirtier places I have ever lived, competing with New York and Chicago for the crush of unwashed garbage littering the streets. I would like recycling services to be made available in every public space where resources are consumed, and required in HOA's and Tenancy agreements as a utility option state-wide. Colorado is already very friendly towards green energy and has a lot to offer any newcomer, but around 10,000 people move here each week and each person generates an average of 4lbs of garbage per day. There are already over a million people here. Places that don't offer recycling services such as living complexes, shopping centers, and corporate offices should be held accountable for the garbage they generate that could have been recycled, and everyone should be given the o choice to help save our planet.

  • Tell Mayor Kenney - Local Solar for Philadelphia!
    Mayor Kenney has pledged to meet 100% of the City government’s energy needs with renewable sources by 2030. We want that clean energy to be generated locally so our air and water quality will improve and long-term economic development and jobs for Philadelphia residents will result. To make it real, the City should adopt our Solar Justice Program: long term renewable energy power purchase agreements; enforcing Economic Opportunity Plans to meet minority and union condition hiring goals; building solar generation on city-owned properties to meet at least 30% of city government energy needs by 2020; and enlisting other large institutions in Philadelphia to do the same.

  • Ban the Toxic Landfill in Southeast Chicago!
    The Army Corps of Engineers & the Chicago Department of Transportation want to build a toxic dump in the 10th Ward. The proposed site will contain lead, manganese, CBD's, coal tar and other toxic materials. The Southeast Side currently has 8 landfills. It is not the dumping ground for the city of Chicago! We do not want this in our community.

  • Oppose water reservoir in Vernon Hills Park
    We did it!!! Thanks to all of you signing this petition, the Vernon Hills Park District Board of Commissioners officially and unanimously voted to oppose supporting the advancement of the proposed water reservoir at Carriage Green Park at their 5/24/18 board meeting. Aaron Lawlor, Lake County Board Chairman, also heard you and the park district board and sent the following great news: ========================================================= Below from Aaron Lawlor, Lake County Board Chairman (5/25/18): I have requested that the Lake County Public Works Department eliminate Carriages Green Park as location for a new water reservoir. As your representative, your concerns are my concerns. And the more we learned, the more concerned we were! Not only would the proposed reservoir encroach on an already undersized community park; it would also likely create an attractive nuisance with the potential for injury, accidents and liability. Following our conservation, I spoke with our Public Works staff and have concluded there are no engineering options that sufficiently address the concerns you and your neighbors shared with me over the past couple weeks. I want to thank you and the Carriages of Grosse Pointe neighborhood for your outreach. In the future, I have asked staff from LCPW, the Village of Vernon Hills and the Park District to engage me in these types of conversations earlier in the planning process as we could have headed this off as an unworkable option much sooner. Please share this message with the HOA leadership as well as the recipients and signers of the petition. As always, please feel free to reach out on this or any other issue. Best, Aaron ==================================================== Please REMOVE the meeting dates from your calendar as the meetings are no longer necessary! • Saturday, June 9 at 9:00am • Thursday, June 28 at 6:30pm Thank you, again, for your active support in preserving our park and protecting our property values!!

  • Tell the Army Corps: Reject Pebble Mine!
    Pebble Mine would be disastrous for both Bristol Bay and the communities its waters support. The mine would pollute the water and air and could even wipe out the wild salmon population that is central to the local economy. But instead of considering those impacts fully, the Army Corps is trying to rush through the permitting process. We can’t let that happen.
