The former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, infamous for his destructive policies, is now up for a prime position managing Virginia’s natural resources. Demand leaders stop history from repeating itself with this horrible choice.
China could make or break the world’s victory against climate change. Demand this top global polluter end its addiction to coal and commit to cleaner, safer, and more economically beneficial renewable energy.
Coal plants won a free pass to pollute our waterways in the waning days of the Trump administration, but crucial public health protections have now been restored. Celebrate this win for people and wildlife.

The Rocky Mountains in Canada are about to be pillaged for coal. Help protect this incredible mountain range from environmental ruin.
The Trump administration has announced that it will allow poisonous coal ash to continue to be dumped into rural water supplies in the latest attack on the environment and public health. This toxin has been linked to a rise in cancers and internal organ ailments. Demand that this administration protect life and the environment rather than corporate profits.
A harmful coal-fired power plant may soon be built in a pristine region of natural beauty in the Philippines, despite years of opposition from local Indigenous groups and scientists. This pollution factory could cause immeasurable damage to the area’s highly unique flora and fauna. Demand that this effort be stopped.
Poland has announced massive investment in green and sustainable energy, signaling a faster move away from coal which has been both the country’s main source of power and a perpetual stain on the environment. Congratulate the Polish government for this sensible decision.
Renewable energy has seen more use in the United States than it has since the 1800s, marking a small but important victory in the fight against climate change and fossil fuels. Congratulate the organizations who’ve worked to make this change a reality.
A proposed dirty coal mine threatens to doom koalas living nearby. Demand that everything possible be done to make sure these animals are protected.
The potential go-ahead for a massive coal mine in the United Kingdom would not only prove destructive for the environment, but also incredibly dangerous for public health during the pandemic. This project will poison the air millions of citizens rely on for survival. Demand leaders abandon this reckless, irresponsible idea.
A South Korean company which profits off polluting coal power has been given a bailout worth hundreds of millions of dollars, despite intending to continue harming the environment. Demand the government withhold the bailout until this company divests itself from coal.
Coal emissions from the global electricity sector have dropped in the last year, thanks partly to the European Union’s efforts. The EU has been one of the world powers most reluctant to drop coal as a fuel, but this is finally changing. Thank the bloc of countries for finally doing the right thing for clean air.
The UK will be phasing out coal and wet wood as household fuels over the next few years, starting with retailers emptying their stocks and stopping their sale of these fuels. Thank DEFRA for making this victory possible.
Coal power could soon receive further subsidies and protection in Indiana, threatening efforts to help wean the state off of archaic and dangerous energy sources. This decision would damage the environment, slow progress, and raise costs for Indianans. Sign this petition to demand that it be halted.
New coal projects are effectively dead in the water thanks to British insurance companies who are refusing to cover them. This marks a victory for sustainable energy and hastening the death of one of the worst pollutants in the world. Praise the United Kingdom’s efforts to drop coal and build a greener future.
China’s investment in and reliance on coal does not match their pledge to lessen the use of this dangerous fossil fuel. As one of the largest and most influential countries in the world, they have the potential to be a leader in climate change. Pressure the Chinese government to stop their use of coal and live up to the Paris climate agreement for cleaner energy.
A new, destructive coal mine threatens to set back Britain’s efforts to combat climate change. Add your signature to demand that this backward step be halted before it can do further harm.
A small town has nearly been destroyed by a coal mine’s rapid expansion over the last few years. Pollution sickens the inhabitants, many families have been forced to move, and the local primary school has recently been forced to shut down. See that this coal mine is closed down immediately, to preserve and help rebuild these citizens’ comfortable lives.
Coal usage in the United Kingdom has reached an all-time low, with emissions totaling less than one percent. For years, coal dependency has been a problem due to the country insuring big coal companies. People have died from air pollution related health complications, and coal plants have ruined many green spaces. Thank the UK government for finally taking public concern about coal seriously.
The coal industry is failing as it becomes more and more apparent how dangerous and obsolete coal is as a fuel. Appalachian coal miners are now supporting the Green New Deal and the end of the coal industry. Unfortunately, the Republicans are fighting them every step of the way. Support the miners’ push to end the industry and promote cleaner energy sources.
Construction of Kenya’s first coal plant has been suspended to allow for assessment of its impact on the environment, but environmental groups have been stating its dangers and disadvantages since day one. Coal is one of the most dangerous fuels in existence, and the plant’s location on a coastal town could negatively impact the ocean as well as the air and the citizens. Ensure that construction of this plant is cancelled entirely and never proposed again.
The coal industry is pushing to build new plants and mines that would endanger both the environment and local wildlife. Coal is one of the most dangerous fossil fuels in existence, as it causes air pollution and threatens habitats. Stop any new mines or plants from being built and phase out coal.
Germany has agreed to slowly phase out their use of coal as a fuel, which promises a major positive impact on the Paris Climate Agreement as well as the quality of air worldwide. The country is the last in the region to rely so heavily on coal, which has made up 40 percent of their power. While 2038 is a long time to wait, their decision is still much appreciated. Sign this petition to thank Germany for phasing out coal.
A major conglomerate intends to turn over 4,000 acres of black-throated finch habitat into what amounts to a cow paddock by allowing cattle to graze on not only this land, but also that surrounding it. Birds are fragile creatures who rely on a stable habitat, and the loss of even one acre could lead to a drop in black-throated finch numbers. Sign this petition to protect these lands from the Adani group’s plans.
