Stop Loading Landfills With a Scary Amount of Halloween Waste
The aftermath of Halloween comes in the form of tons of discarded pumpkins and candy wrappers, almost all of which end up in landfills. Fortunately, there is a chance at a new life for these items through compost and recycling. Demand easy access to viable recycling programs in all communities.
End Pumpkin Shortage With Eco-Friendly Farming
Pumpkins and other crops are in short supply due to soil degradation. No-till farming could provide the lifeline they need to experience a resurgence. Demand agriculture experts invest in this potential solution.
End Litter’s Disproportionate Impact on Low-Income Communities
Litter pollutes the environment and negatively impacts quality of life in cities. This problem disproportionately affects low-income communities, who have fewer waste disposal options. Call for a more equitable distribution of urban trashcans.
Don’t Let Coastal Communities Disappear Into the Sea
A coastal town may have been rescued from falling into the sea, and one of its saviors was Mother Nature herself. Urge stronger investments in natural techniques to prevent beach erosion.
Stop Poisoning Waterways With Factory Farm Waste

This pollution disrupts the food chain and can cause both humans and animals to become sick or even die. Tell Tyson to act now and hold all farms it works with accountable.
Don’t Let Snow Crab Disappear From Seas Forever
A fixture of the Alaskan seas is in danger due to climate change and overfishing. The snow crab could once again thrive if humans would maintain a hands-off approach. Demand leaders throw this at-risk animal a lifeline.
Save World’s Lands and Seas Before Time Runs Out
The natural world is in crisis, and so are the talks that could help save it. An international biodiversity conference could provide a global solution to an extinction-level problem, and yet China’s president may not attend. Demand global leaders start getting serious about protecting Mother Nature.
Make Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Solar Powered
Electric vehicles are much better for the climate than conventional cars, but to be truly sustainable they must be powered by renewables. Call for a network of solar charging stations.
Make Reliable Public Transportation a Budget Priority
The U.S. needs to invest more into public transportation. With traffic clogging our highways and emissions from cars adding to climate change, accessible transit can address two problems at once. Help make public transit a focus for the U. S. Department of Transportation.
Stop Agonizing Asphyxiation and Evisceration of Fish
Fish are finally being recognized as sentient beings who feel pain and fear. This means that dragging them from the water to asphyxiate or cutting them apart can equate to torture. Demand fisheries recognize this reality by adopting more humane practices.
Stop Fishing Industry From Wiping Out Ocean Life
Life in our oceans is dying out. We must stop the greedy over-fishing now.
Save Bees By Planting Flowers in Cities and Towns
Bees are at a risk of endangerment and extinction worldwide. Overdevelopment of land in New Jersey, where they once thrived, has eliminated resources bees rely on to live and reproduce. Demand the state act now to prevent wild bee populations from becoming extinct.
Protect Whales From Death
A total of 230 pilot whales washed up on the shores of an Australian island; the majority dehydrated to death under the hot sun. Scientists cite climate change, habitat loss, and overfishing as the likely causes of this event and warn against future catastrophes of similar scale. Demand we do more to protect our oceans and their animals.
Stop Shooting Alligators in Head and Dragging Them Behind Cars
Dragging alligators behind cars and shooting them with a device that causes a slow and painful death are acceptable practices in Florida. Demand an end to this cruelty.
Save the Bees From Deadly Disease
Over 500 environmental protections, including safeguards for bees, could be struck down within months. Demand a key European region stop gambling with its future and the fate of the planet.
Save Penguins From Death Due to Climate Change
Climate change, caused by greenhouse gas emissions, has killed more than 600 penguins in Brazil. Unfortunately, while this country’s total emissions account for only 1% of the world’s total, its people and wildlife are forced to live with the damage caused by other nations. Demand climate action is taken immediately.
Incentivize Solar Panels to Fight Climate Change
Emissions from fossil fuels are one of the leading contributors to the global climate crisis. While solar panels exist as a renewable alternative, they are not commonly used. Demand solar panels be incentivized to reduce the environmental footprint.
Demand Research Institutions Help Preserve Biodiversity
The welfare of wild animals has long since taken a back seat in the research world. New York University has become one of the first institutions to launch a program that will study the impact of human activity and associated environmental changes on animals. Demand other research universities and institutes implement similar initiatives and dedicate resources to the biodiversity crisis.
Stop Inhumane and Environmentally Destructive Livestock Ranching
Cattle held on ranches not only are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, but they often are forced to live short and painful lives. Demand a stop to this inhumane and environmentally destructive business.
Reduce Food Waste By Feeding Livestock Unsellable Scraps
A massive amount of whole and partial food ends up in the landfill because people find it undesirable. Feeding these perfectly healthy scraps to livestock is one way to put this food to use. Demand leaders make moves towards zero waste.
Cut Big Agriculture’s Massive Carbon and Environmental Pollution
Factory farming is a major cause of climate change and environmental pollution. Demand Big Agriculture clean up their act and stop the destruction of our natural world.
