Cleaner CommunityAs a civic action project for our government class, we plan to make community places cleaner. Through other student's studies here at Athens high school, we noticed there was a large amount of plastic bottles littered in our community parks, so, adding recycle and trash bins will benefit the environment and help keep public places clean.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel

Save the WorldWe are starting this petition because throughout the years we have noticed that there are a lot of unnecessary houses that are being built. People should be concerned about this issue because this will cause a huge increase in pollution rates and a huge decrease in the amount of organisms that live in New York.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Abby

Stop Toxic Rock - Montclair's Pollution ProblemPaint contains toxic chemicals including Volatile Organic Compounds such as toluene and benzene; metals like lead, silver, mercury, and cadmium; binders and solvents like methylene chloride which affect the ecosystem of beautiful Sausal Creek and the San Francisco Bay. Just 1 gallon of paint can contaminate 1,000,000 gallons of water. The Rock in Marj Saunders Park at 5801 at Ascot Drive in Oakland has been painted continuously since the 1950s, allowing as much as 50 gallons of paint per year to enter our watershed negatively affecting our ecosystem and health. Not only is this an environmental problem, it's ugly and it's illegal. The City should enforce its own laws and protect our ecosystem and public health. I am a 6th-grade student at Bentley School and I live near the rock. Signs actually encourage this behavior! I don't think people should be harming the environment, including our fish and wildlife, on purpose. We should be setting a better example for kids like me and not celebrating pollution. Painting the rock should be stopped, and the area should be restored to its natural beauty and protected from further pollution.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cameron Cox

National Geographic: Stop Mailing Magazines in Plastic!National Geographic is one of the top circulating magazines in the US with around 42 million magazines mailed annually--each and every issue wrapped in plastic. The Polybags used, made of polyethylene #4, is a common plastic, recyclable with grocery bags made of the same or similar (#2) material. But, according to the National Geographic article titled "A Whopping 91% of Plastic Isn't Recycled"-well, you get the gist. This "environmental" magazine has published dozens of articles on the hazards of plastic bags--there is no room for this level of hypocrisy in our country's 8th largest circulating magazine. So let's encourage them to set a precedent and to stop mailing their publication in plastic bags.253 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Lorena Williams
