Composting organic waste is one more way the University of Louisville (UofL) can divert waste from the landfill. Since 2013, UofL has been working to reduce its waste, and expanding composting will be the next step in this process. On top of this, composting will reduce carbon emissions created by our waste. When organic materials are thrown into the landfill, they are forced to decompose without oxygen, which produces methane, a greenhouse gas much stronger than carbon dioxide. UofL has stated that it is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and composting is one solution.

Because the Republicans are arguing in the impeachment proceedings that actions taken by persons outside of the United States to influence Federal elections are not a crime and therefore are not impeachable offenses under the Constitution.

I'm a Hoboken parent, my 66-year-old mother lives here, and I know many neighbors who this power plant would put at most risk; children, older adults, and people with cardiovascular, lung or respiratory problems. The NJ Transit Fossil Fuel Power Plant is a $546 million, 140-megawatt natural gas-fired project that would mostly be paid by a Superstorm Sandy Resilience grant. This is a huge contradiction. 1) The proposed site is an active flood plain, and the plant would become the 13th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in New Jersey, dumping 577,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases annually. 2) Ironically, NJ Transit describes this plant as a resiliency project, but the greenhouse gas emissions from the plant would add to the chances of more climate emergencies like Superstorm Sandy. 3) There are cleaner solutions to the resiliency problems that NJ Transit wants to solve with this plant. Those solutions can deliver the same amount of power with much less risk to Hoboken residents – but NJ Transit has not explored them. Renewable technology alternatives – quickly becoming more cost-effective -- include zero-emission technologies like a solar-powered microgrid along with wind and tidal forces combined with battery storage. WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT GAS-FIRED POWER PLANTS? - Gas infrastructure facilities can annually emit into the air hundreds of tons of pollutants including particulate matter, toxic chemicals such as sulfur dioxide, mercury, and criteria pollutants (such as nitrogen oxides which cause smog, acid rain and contribute to ozone production), some of which are known carcinogens such as benzene and formaldehyde which are known to increase the severity of asthma and other respiratory diseases. - Particulate matter, once inhaled, can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects including lung cancer. - Long-term exposure to ozone is linked to aggravation of asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis, and it is likely to be one of many causes of asthma development. - Long-term exposures to ozone may also be linked to permanent lung damage, such as abnormal lung development in children. Please sign the petition to prevent NJ Transit from building a polluting gas-fired power plant within 4 miles of Hoboken.

Small children walk up and down this hill during the most brutal winter months, sometimes the snow gets so high their heads hit branches on trees. During the spring the snow turns in to ice, and can become extremely dangerous for anyone to walk on.

We have to stop being hostages for those employed by us who refuse to do right for us unless it benefits them personally.

Banning all abortion will not stop abortion, this bill will only cause the deaths of women who had no other way out than trying to perform unsafe procedures. If you don’t like abortion, don’t get one! My body, my business!

The health officials in Orange County reported that a lady who recently came to Irvine from Wuhan is infected by the deadly coronas virus on January 25. The virus is able to spread between people in five seconds. Schools have a large amount of students and people could be easily infected when talking and working on projects with each other. Therefore, we should be able to wear masks at school for our safty.

THE PROBLEM WORLDWIDE IS THAT THE POWERS THAT BE OWN THE MAJORITY OF OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AND CONTROL THEM TO MAKE DECISIONS FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR THEIR OWN POWER AND MONEY. BECAUSE OF UNLIMITED TERMS AND SENIORTY RULES POLITICAL POWER CONTROLS CONGRESS AGAINST THE COMMON GOOD. THE MOST EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY TO TWEAK THE SYSTEM, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OF UNEQUAL EVEN CORRUPT REPRESENTATION IS WITH ONE 6 YEAR TERM LIMITS FOR ALL OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES STARTING WITH THE U.S. CONGRESS AND WORKING TO ALL OTHER ELECTED OFFICES IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD. THE MAJORITY OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE U.S. DID NOT WANT MULTI TERM LEGISLATORS. POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS WHAT GAVE US CHIEFS, WAR LORDS, KINGS, EMPERORS, DICTATORS, MUSSOLINI, HITLER, STALIN, HIROHITO, MAO, HO CHI MINH, AND NOW PUTIN, XI JINPING, THE IATOLAS, POPES AND ASSORTED WESTERN POLITICIANS.

Only 4 Republican US Senators can tip the balance of votes in the US Senate from the 47 Democrats to a majority in favor of allowing witnesses to testify. Witnesses testifying with direct evidence of the misdeeds of the President would make it more difficult for the President and his team to sweep aside the House Impeachment Managers' arguments; could be decisive in successfully making the case against the President; and could make it more likely Trump is removed from office.

Having few to no options to internet access hinders productivity and job opportunities for Tennessseans. Tennessee would be afforded much more financial growth and prosperity if all citizens had internet access. People who dwell in rural areas have limited options which are expensive and prohibitive. Most rural internet options have low data thresholds and slow download speeds. Tennesseans deserve to be able to live in rural areas while having access to income and educational opportunities which only dependable internet access can provide.

Those who sacrifice for our nation, and those who take great risk to preserve our national security, balance of power and the integrity of our democracy deserve to be recognized and appreciated for their courage and sacrifice, not attacked by the wrongdoers.
