Tongva and Acjachemen tribal nations, environmentalists, and community members have been struggling to protect and preserve the Los Cerritos Wetlands for decades. These wetlands, at the mouth of the San Gabriel River on the east side of Long Beach, were once a vast estuary that supported the large Tongva community of Puvungna. Due to flood control measures, oil drilling, industrial, commercial, and residential development much has been lost, and what remains (the best salt marsh in Southern California) is now under assault from Beach Oil Mineral Partners, the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority, and other public and private entities supporting their project. Our immediate goal is to stop the extraction of 200 million barrels of oil from beneath the Los Cerritos Wetlands. The Los Cerritos Wetlands Restoration and Oil Consolidation Project puts public safety and the environment at risk. 120 new wells will be drilled immediately adjacent to the Newport Inglewood Faultline, new pipelines will transport oil over the fault, and oil and wastewater will be stored and processed on site. Beach Oil Mineral Partners expanded oil operation will introduce dangerous slant drilling and water injection methods to extract oil and to reinject wastewater under the wetlands and surrounding areas. BOMP's wetlands "restoration", funded by selling pollution credits, will introduce toxic soil and water into our healthy salt marsh.

The citizens of Maryland prefer renewable energy sources because fossil fuels are harmful to life.

Because of the potential real dangers of an oil spill and danger to South Carolina’s economy.

There is no reason to be putting our environment in this kind of danger for a few drops of an obsolete, dirty fuel. Green Energy has already proven a far safer, more environmentally stable, and in the long run more efficient energy source. No one wants those big metal eyesores off our shores.

Opening up the entire Oregon Coast for fracking and drilling would not only create havoc on the fishing industry, but it would be catastrophic to the environment. But the Republicans aren't too worried about anything they can't line their pockets with. I wouldn't doubt there will be a tremendous amounts of kickbacks from the oil companies, to probably every Republican. We must stand against any drilling off any coast and inland waters, of the United States

The New Jersey coastline brings in huge amounts of revenue to the state and keeps many small businesses operating through tourism. The state of Florida (governed by Republican Rick Scott) will not have drilling off of it's coastline due to the relationship between President Trump and Rick Scott and the location of Trump's resort, Mar-A-Lago ("not in my backyard" attitude). New Jersey deserves to have the same privilege - NO DRILLING IN NEW JERSEY!

The U.S. Department of Interior announced they would open up nearly all United States waters to offshore oil drilling. Most parts of the outer continental shelf would be opened–rolling back existing protections, putting these sensitive marine environments and the species that live in them at risk of death or injury. Sea otters, orca whales, leatherback sea turtles, and dozens more marine mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish already subject to threats from deadly fishing nets and ocean pollution could be put in extreme peril under Secretary Zinke's plan. Tell Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke that you do not support reckless oil and gas drilling and that he should focus his energy and time on finding clean, renewable energy sources and safeguarding our nation's wildlife and wild places.

I am starting this petition because I care about my planet. As such, I believe that, in light of Trump's ignorance, the states need to take the initiative and lower GHG emissions.

The earth is the place where we all live, and we are destroying it. With things like not taking buses because we like being in our own car, to even eating too many cows, we are creating a thing called global warming that is slowly taking apart our planet. President Donald Trump and most of our leaders do not believe in global warming, but let me tell you something, it is real, and it is destroying our home. I live in Aspen Colorado, and we have had the second worst snowfall in history. Because of global warming. You may think that global warming is warming of the planet, but it is not just that, it is extreme weather. Why else do you think our people are being devastated by a colossal number of hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and more? I want us to stop cutting down so many trees. I mean, the trees and plants that we are chopping down give our oxygen. That will be the first step, then we can go farther. Sign this petition, share it with others, and help me save our planet.

The Great Lakes are an important part of Michigan, providing water, food, and is a crucial part of the ecosystem for many plants and wildlife. Every year 22 million pounds of plastic end up in the Great Lakes, damaging our water ways and ecosystems, hurting animals, plants and people. We need to start doing our part to protect the lakes and everything they are apart of by cutting down the use of plastic in our state, which starts with the banning of single use plastic bags so that we can cut down the amount of plastic that ends up in the lakes.

WE AS AMERICAN ARE TIRED OF THE WRONGFUL CAPTIVATION OF THE ORCA WHALES IN SEAWORLD AND EVERY OTHER WATER PARK. THEY BELONG IN THE WILD PERIOD. ITS WRONG AND TILIKUM DESERVED BETTER.

The California Public Utilities Commission is trying to slow down or stop Community Choice Energy programs across the state. CCE programs enable communities to provide energy for homes and businesses that is cleaner and cheaper than the existing utilities. CCE programs are already operating successfully in ten counties in California. By the end of 2018, eighteen CCEs will be serving customers, and 16 other jurisdictions are in the process of forming programs. Soon Community Choice will provide more than half the electrical load in the state. But now the PUC is rushing to put a two-year freeze on new Community Choice programs with Resolution E-4907. The CPUC knows what it’s doing is wrong. They are trying to sneak through the resolution, without public hearing, at the height of the holiday season, hoping no one is looking — but they’ve been caught by alert Community Choice advocates. Sign our petition to demand that the CPUC scrap this dangerous resolution before midnight on Wednesday, January 10th.
