Don't Let Pesticide Profiteers Poison the Wild

Pesticides are contaminating our water, and this toxic pollution can mean sickness or death for fish and wildlife as well as for people. More than 1,000 waterways in the United States are impaired by pesticide pollution: In a nationwide study, the U.S. Geological Survey found pesticides or their byproducts in every stream it sampled.

These chemicals can cause severe reproductive and developmental deformities, cancer, and even death in fish and amphibians. And their poisons can move up the food chain -- potentially landing in people who eat tainted fish and drink tainted water.

Right now the petrochemical industry and agribusiness are pushing Congress to let sneaky backdoor riders on this year's farm bill gut the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. They want to weaken rules that help monitor and protect our rivers and creeks from unsafe levels of pesticides and trample on pollution controls that protect rare and vanishing plants and animals.

Please -- take action now to tell your senators to protect our wildlife and waterways from pesticides by voting against the dangerous amendments in this farm bill.

No Forests for Fuel - Take Action!: NRDC's Save BioGems

I am shocked that Enviva is using trees to produce wood pellets and chips that are then burned by utilities like Drax and Dominion to generate electricity. The destruction of forests to produce fuel is endangering our health, our natural heritage and our climate. 





I am equally outraged that Dominion Power and Drax Group continue to burn millions of tons of wood, supplied by Enviva from our southern forests, in power plants. These operations fuel climate change and plunder our irreplaceable native ecosystems.

Mounting scientific evidence shows that burning wood pellets made from trees will increase near-term carbon pollution and accelerate climate change. Enviva now says it will double production of wood pellets in the coming years, which will only hasten this senseless destruction.

I am not buying Enviva's latest claim that its practices are acceptable because they involve cutting down "crooked and knotty" trees that are "waste" which can't be used in sawmills. Our forests are not trash! It is unconscionable for any company to treat them as such.

Our southern forests are home to countless species of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. They provide communities with clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. These forests are already under significant stress from industrial logging for wood and paper production.

I call on Enviva, Dominion Power and Drax to stop turning our forests into fuel. You should immediately change course and lead the way by investing in energy efficiency and generating electricity from clean energy alternatives, like mill and agricultural waste for pellets and true renewables like solar, wind and geothermal energy. The future of our forests, climate and health depends on it. I will be counting on NRDC to monitor your operations and keep me up to date on your practices.

President Obama: Ban Fracking on Public Lands

Hi,

I signed a petition to Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior and President Barack Obama which says:

"I am calling for a ban on fracking on all federal lands.

This land is our land and should be managed for the good of the people, not corporate profits for the oil and gas industry.

The Bureau of Land Management's proposed rules for regulating hydraulic fracturing on Federal and Indian lands are not only weak, but they do not take into account all of the harmful processes required to frack for oil and gas.

The best way to protect our air, water, wildlife, climate and public health is simply to prohibit this inherently dangerous form of fossil fuel extraction on public lands."

Greenpeace - Tell President Obama to keep oil companies out of the Arctic

Tell President Obama to keep oil companies out of the Arctic

Right now, President Obama is considering whether or not to open up more of the Alaskan Arctic for oil drilling by launching a new round of lease sales for the Chukchi Sea.

What's at stake here isn't just one of the most beautiful, unspoiled places on earth. But the future of our climate. A few weeks ago the president made a bold climate promise to the American people, stating that he would not condemn our generation and future generations to a planet that is beyond fixing.

This Arctic lease sale could start any day now! In order to get the President's attention we need to flood the White House with urgent messages telling them to cancel this sale.

Take action today and join our campaign to protect the Arctic. Tell President Obama that we can’t stop global climate change by opening up more of the Arctic for oil drilling.

One of the things that makes America great is our vast and cherished spaces. Millions of acres across our beautiful country are public, they belong to us — the American people. This land is your land! But this land, and many of our favorite iconic landscapes, are under threat from fracking.

The Obama Administration recently proposed new rules for oil and gas fracking on federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) — including those in the national forest system, and federal lands that are nearby many treasured national parks.

The BLM's proposed rules are weak, at best, and pave the way for corporate profits at the expense of our American treasures and essential resources. The BLM is seeking public comments on the proposed rules. Tell them Don't Frack Public Lands! Deadline for comments is August 23rd.

Tell the EPA You Want Lower, Not Higher, Limits on Monsanto's Roundup!

Tell the EPA You Want Lower, Not Higher, Limits on Monsanto's Roundup!

When does one plus one not equal two? When mounting evidence says glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup pesticide, does more damage to our health and environment than we thought. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responds by approving higher, not lower, allowable limits of the pesticide residue.

Please sign the letter below. Tell the EPA you want lower, not higher, limits on Monsanto’s glyphosate and Roundup!

This month (May 2013) the EPA announced a final ruling to increase, yet again, the allowed residue limits in food and animal feed of glyphosate, the key active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. Under the ruling, the allowed glyphosate level in animal feed will rise to 100 parts per million (ppm) and 40 ppm in oilseed crops.

There is precedence for final rulings to be revisited, even reversed, if enough people voice their opposition. The EPA will take comments on the ruling until July 1, 2013.
The EPA ruling defies sound science and undermines public health. Peer reviewed studies show rats fed diets as low as 2ppm of glyphosate were 70 percent to 80 percent more likely to develop tumors. Infertility, affecting both the sperm and the egg, was documented in animals subjected to glyphosate residue levels as low as .05 ppm. Birth defects in frog and chicken embryos resulted after being subjected to glyphosate residues of just 2.03 ppm.

Yet the EPA claims glyphosate is only “minimally toxic” to humans, and 40 ppm is nothing to worry about?

The EPA’s decision is all the more unjustifiable in light of two recently published, peer reviewed studies revealing glyphosate to be a far greater threat to human health than previously determined.

According to a study published in the journal Entropy in April 2013, glyphosate is related to debilitating diseases like gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The study says the negative impact on the human body is “insidious and manifests slowly over time, as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body… it may in fact be the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment.”

A 2012 study published in the journal Archives of Toxicology showed Roundup is toxic to human DNA even when diluted to concentrations 450-fold lower than used in agricultural applications. Industry regulators and long-term studies look at glyphosate in isolation, instead of looking at Roundup’s full formulation, which includes secret added ingredients. These “confidential” and unlabeled ingredients, when measured as a whole, affect all living cells, including human cells.

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. According to the EPA, at least 208 million tons of Roundup were sprayed on GE crops, lawns and roadsides in the years 2006 and 2007. In 2007, as much as 185 million pounds of glyphosate was used by U.S. farmers, double the amount used just six years ago.

A 2009 study found that Americans use about 100 million pounds of glyphosate annually on their lawns and gardens. It’s safe to assume all these number are much higher now. Why? Because GE crops are now being invaded by new strains of herbicide-resistant “superweeds” requiring higher and higher doses of poison.

Beyond Pesticides has assembled extensive documentation of past research linking glyphosate to increased cancer risk, neurotoxicity and birth defects, as well as eye, skin, respiratory irritation, lung congestion, increased breathing rate, damage to the pancreas, kidney and testes.

Glyphosate also endangers the environment, destroys soil and plants, and is linked to a host of health hazards. The EPA’s decision to increase the allowed residue limits of glyphosate is out of date, dangerous to the health of people and the environment and scientifically unsupportable.

Please sign the letter below. Tell the EPA you want lower, not higher, limits on Monsanto’s glyphosate and Roundup!

Center for Food Safety | Support the Pollinator Protection Amendment to the Senate Farm Bill

Support the Pollinator Protection Amendment to the Senate Farm Bill

June 3rd Congress comes back from recess and the Senate will resume debates on the Farm Bill.  While there are a number of possible amendments we have our eye on this year, especially those pertaining to the labeling of genetically engineered food, support for organic farmers, and a repeal of the “Monsanto Protection Act,” there’s one amendment in particular that we’re expecting to receive a ton of buzz: Senator Boxer’s pollinator protection amendment.

Over the past decade, honey bees and other pollinators have been suffering record-high population losses. Given that one in every three bites of food is reliant on bees and other species for pollination, the decline of pollinators demands swift action; our agricultural economy, food supply and environment depend on their well-being. Thankfully, Senator Barbara Boxer’s (D-CA) introduction of amendment (S. 954) to the Farm Bill would be a step in the right direction towards protecting honey bees and other pollinators if passed.

What exactly would this amendment require the government to do?

Amendment S.954 would help to ensure the long-term viability of populations of honey bees, wild bees, and other beneficial insects through several initiatives, including:

• Establishing an inter-agency dialogue about pollinator health between the Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency
• Creating a task force on bee health and commercial beekeeping
• Directing the government to regularly monitor and report on health and population status of pollinators (including bees, birds, bats, and other species)
• Compelling agencies to utilize the best available peer-reviewed science on environmental and chemical stressors to pollinators, including international efforts addressing pollinator declines
• Assessing the feasibility for new public bee research labs

While the Farm Bill debates continue to be a rollercoaster of upsets and victories for small farmers, conservation groups and other stakeholders, it is important to remember that this five-year bill affects all of us, and all of us will be affected by the devastating pollinator losses plaguing our nation.  It is crucial that we take whatever steps we can, however small they may be, to work towards protecting these critical species and our future food security.

The Senate will resume voting on amendments next week, so please take action today and urge your Senator to support the Pollinator Protection Amendment!

Greenpeace - Oh Canada, Protect the Arctic from Oil Spills!

Oil companies like Shell think they can buy anything, including influence with politicians, the right to pollute and destroy our water and air, and to threaten people’s traditional way of life.

The next power grab is about to happen at the Arctic Council (an international body representing all Arctic nations), where oil companies hope to sway these Northern countries towards dangerous Arctic oil drilling. They are risking oil spills in fragile Northern waters - with consequences are too horrible to imagine.

The Arctic Council’s new Chair, Canada, has a choice -- either to uphold the Arctic Council’s environmental agenda and protect the region from oil spills, overfishing and further climate change devastation, or to allow oil companies to drill and spill in these remote, fragile waters.

Together we are going to hold Canada accountable and make sure that it steps up to do the right thing and protect the Arctic from oil companies like Shell.

Take action today and join our campaign to protect the Arctic. Tell Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper to uphold the Arctic Council’s environmental agenda and choose people, animals and the environment over dirty oil polluters.

Stop seismic airgun testing for oil and gas off the U.S. East Coast. | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

Stop seismic airgun testing for oil and gas off the U.S. East Coast.

According to your Department of the Interior, seismic airgun testing for oil and gas in the Atlantic will injure or kill 138,500 dolphins and whales, including endangered North Atlantic right whales.

Seismic airguns and offshore drilling threaten commercial and recreational fisheries as well as ocean-based tourism and coastal recreation from Delaware to Florida. 730,000 jobs in this region depend on a healthy ocean. Seismic airgun testing is the first step toward expanding deepwater drilling, the same practice that caused the well-known Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster.

Offshore drilling is dirty and dangerous, and seismic airguns are an insult to ocean economies and ecosystems. With respect, we call on your administration to reject seismic airgun testing in the Atlantic.

Stop California REDD Now! | Indigenous Environmental Network

 Citizens of the World,


Please sign this petition to Stop California REDD, which is the model for doing REDD throughout the world.
Make history by rejecting this market-based, land grabbing false solution to climate change which is bad for the planet, bad for people and does not really protect forests.

I urge you to reject the inclusion of REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) in the State of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, AB32.
The four main reasons for rejecting California REDD are:
1. REDD is a false solution to climate change, which makes global warming worse.
2. REDD lets climate criminals like Shell and Chevron off the hook because it allows polluters to use forests as supposed sponges for their greenhouse gas and toxic pollution, instead of reducing pollution at source.
3. REDD lets polluters keep polluting and sickening Californians with asthma and cancer.
4. REDD has no guarantees to prevent human rights abuses. REDD is already causing social conflict and land grabs in Chiapas, Mexico, and violating Indigenous Peoples’ rights including the right to free, prior and informed consent.
California must not let climate criminals like Shell and Chevron off the hook, sicken its citizens, nor contribute to human rights violations. California must reject REDD now. Mother Earth depends on it.

Food Democracy Now | Obama signs Monsanto Protection Act! It's Time to Label GMOs!

We regret to inform you that late last night President Barack Obama signed H.R. 933, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act into law. President Obama knowingly signed the Monsanto Protection Act over the urgent pleas of more than 250,000 Americans who asked that he use his executive authority to veto it. President Obama failed to live up to his oath to protect the American people and our constitution.
Today we’re calling on President Obama to issue an executive order to call for the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.
Not only is GMO labeling a reasonable and common sense solution to the continued controversy that corporations like Monsanto, DuPont and Dow Chemical have created by subverting our basic democratic rights, but it is a basic right that citizens in 62 other countries around the world already enjoy, including Europe, Russia, China, India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
