When a Whole Foods Market opened in our town, I was appalled to see how many products were wrapped in unrecyclable forms of plastic. Many municipalities only take #1 and #2 plastics for their recycling programs. The rest end up in a landfill, river, or ocean. I am alarmed at the reported pervasiveness of plastics already polluting our ecosystems, and don't want to contribute to this lethal problem by buying plastic along with my organic food, but of course I have to eat. The plastic already in oceans and rivers is affecting the quality and quantity of food fish. Water for organic growing without harmful chemicals from the breakdown of plastics in the environment will be increasingly hard to find. Current practices are unsustainable. What will we eat when every food becomes toxic?

The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers more than 1.5 million acres of Wisconsin's pristine, iconic Northwoods. Every year, bear hounders converge on these and other woodland areas, turning their packs of dogs loose to pursue and terrorize native wildlife. These packs of pursuing off-leash dogs threaten the life of wolf pups and adult wolves and virtually every land animal in their path. These public lands are rendered inhospitable for weeks every year during bear hounding season. Please ask the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to prohibit "hounding" on these National Forest Service lands.

Hurricane Matthew blew a hole in my roof & destroyed my chimney. Climate change is real; if there is no justice against establishment deniers, our planet and we will suffer more & more.

For many Central Floridians, Duke Energy is the only provider available. The company has used this monopoly to their advantage by charging fixed rates, refusing to restore power, and abusing FEMA provisions. Floridians are suffering at the greedy hands of those who run this subpar service; action must be taken NOW. The goal of this petition is 10k signatures.

Fireworks were the cause of the Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic area and the area continues to burn. We need a ban of all fireworks in the state to protect our forests and our air quality so that all beings can thrive.

The taxpayers are going to be held accountable for a situation they were deluded about.

We are all affected as we could loose these species altogether. This is not right.

The devastating impacts of climate change are impacting millions — violent hurricanes, out of control wildfires, debilitating droughts, massive floods, warming oceans, altered growing seasons, and more. The frequency and severity of events like these will only increase if climate change is not addressed in a meaningful way. We need to move America off fossil fuels and transition to 100% renewable energy if we want to keep a livable planet – and we need to do it quickly. The good news?  Representative Tulsi Gabbard just introduced the Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act (OFF Act), which would transition us to 100% renewable energy by 2035, with 80% happening by 2027. The OFF Act also ends subsidies for fossil fuel companies, places a moratorium on fossil fuels projects, stops oil and gas exports, and promotes environmental justice and a just transition. Urge your member of Congress to support and co-sponsor this urgent, groundbreaking bill. It's our future on the line — and we need bold action now.

For the first time in five years, Connecticut voters like you have the opportunity to weigh in on Connecticut's comprehensive energy strategy. With America facing more devastating impacts of climate change, it's time to call for a clean energy future that serves our economy, our families' health, and our climate. Governor Malloy's draft Comprehensive Energy Strategy (CES) lacks commitment and misses the mark on building a bright energy system. Public comments close Sept. 25. Sign now to let Governor Malloy and his staff know that you're ready for Connecticut to go big on clean energy. In a recent poll, more than 3 in 4 Connecticut voters said they support expanding the use of solar energy. Across all demographics and party lines, supermajorities of Nutmeggers support transitioning to a clean energy system that benefits public health, reduces electric bills, and spurs a clean economy that creates jobs and local investments. The CES can be improved to deliver on that promise - one that the vast majority of Connecticut families and businesses believe in.

FBI agents are raiding animal sanctuaries with search warrants in a search for a baby pig rescued from a factory farm. This is not just deeply immoral - we have a duty to help animals who are being abused - but an incredible waste of government resources, in a time that our nation is in crisis due to natural disasters. We're asking Attorney General Sessions to instruct the Utah US Attorney and FBI offices to stop the harassment of animal rescuers, call off the hunt for Lily, and prosecute animal abusing corporations!

I'm starting this petition because Fireworks are dangerous. The cons WAY OUTWEIGH the pros and since the public cannot handle fireworks responsibly, we don't deserve to have them in our community.

Trump’s latest appointee, Michael Dourson, spent his career helping Big Tobacco, Teflon makers, and other corporations downplay the risks of their chemicals. He doesn’t belong at the EPA where he would have the power to greenlight toxics like asbestos, lead, and BPA —substances that have been linked to cancer, delayed mental development, and major reproductive harm. Trump is showing again that our health doesn’t matter to him, especially the people of color and low-income communities who will be hurt the most by gutting our toxics laws. Sign the petition to tell the nomination committee chairs to #DumpDourson.
