Support Standards to Reduce Emissions from Oil and Gas Operations

Environmental_Protection_Agency_logo.svg

Every year, the oil and gas industry leaks millions of metric tons of excess methane, emitting the heat-trapping equivalent of 160 coal-fired power plants! These practices make your oil significantly dirtier than it needs to be—before it even gets to your gas tank. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed standards for reducing the leaking methane pollution from new and modified oil and natural gas operations. It’s a critical first step to addressing the emissions associated with extracting and producing oil. Click to send the EPA a message that we want these standards in place.

Stop Monsanto’s Dream Bill in the SenateMonsanto pesticide to be sprayed on food crops.

If you haven’t heard, Monsanto’s Dream Bill, which has already passed in the House, would prohibit any state efforts to require labeling of genetically engineered foods (GMOs). The bill is called the “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act,” which sounds like it would be something that I would support. They purposely gave it a name that would confuse the average citizen. It is not about “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling”, it is about deceiving the customer, in the name of profit! The Grocery Manufacturers Association, an industry group that represents Monsanto, Nestlé, Dow and Pepsi, is pushing this bill because it would let them continue to keep quiet about their production and use of GMO foods. We need to stop this bill from passing in the Senate, by writing to your Senator! Please do it now and stop Monsanto’s Dream Bill.

Say Yes To Reduce Climate-Damaging Fracking Pollution

Fracking_Site_in_Warren_Center,_PA_06The methane pollution the oil and gas industry releases annually has the climate-disrupting impact of more than 160 coal-burning power plants! It’s clear that fracking can never be made safe, but the EPA is developing important new rules to slash climate-damaging methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. Take action today to make sure the EPA finally cracks down on frackers and approves strong climate protections.

Sign Petition to Repeal the Mandated Flu Shot!

On Monday,  5 NYC moms filed a lawsuit against NYC, to repeal the mandated flu shot.
They need a show of support, in the way of signatures on a petition, to show the judge during the hearing.
This will help support the lawsuit, and hopefully repeal the mandated flu shot. These moms are fighting for all of our children. Please sign the petition!
