Success: Agreement Reached on Biodiversity Protection
Biodiversity got a big win at a global conference, where Earth’s habitats and species received solid pledges of protection from 195 nations. Commend this hard-won agreement for Mother Nature.
Environment
Don’t Incinerate Crucial Climate Work
A volcanic eruption could have destroyed the world’s premier barometer for measuring and understanding climate change. Demand better protections for work that could help protect the planet.
Use the ‘Science of the Stars’ to Save our Planet
A major scientific breakthrough in nuclear fusion could one day create clean and inexpensive energy on a wide scale. We must invest more in this technology with the potential to save our planet from climate change.
Kick Anti-Environmental Special Interest Groups Out of Climate Conference
Special interest groups that want to derail environmental progress are being invited to and influencing critical climate talks. Urge an end to destructive lobbying at the world’s expense.
Stop Letting Lobbyists Get Rich by Obstructing Environmental Progress
Powerful fossil fuel lobbyists are being financially rewarded for their climate policy obstruction. Demand a change of course for the continent that is helping underwrite environmental destruction.
Stop Delaying Action to End Plastic Pollution
Plastics are everywhere, including countless places they should not be. Land, the oceans, and our drinking water contain traces of a material we have allowed to become an all-pervasive pollutant, and efforts to seriously address plastic waste are not happening fast enough. Urge a nearer-term deadline to prevent further damage.
Don’t Kill Koalas for Coal
Koalas, gliders, and other endangered wildlife could soon have their homes destroyed if the coal industry gets its way. The proposed development could also further stoke the raging fire of global warming. Demand leaders stop catering to these destructive special interests.
Stop Development From Decimating Tribal Lands
A cherished tribal land and rich habitat could be endangered if a dam construction project goes forward. Urge continued opposition to this potential environmental and cultural hazard.
Stop Gas Pipelines From Leaking Deadly Chemicals Into Our Air and Water
Gas pipelines are causing irreversible damage to the environment. Leaks end up in groundwater, streams, and the atmosphere, and little has been done to address these ongoing problems. Urge the EPA to modernize our pipelines and prevent dangerous chemicals from entering the environment.
Stop Overconsumption From Destroying the Planet
Excess consumerism is now a leading cause of climate change, in which the buying habits of first world countries produce carbon emissions exponentially greater than those of other regions. This excessive waste cheats consumers and harms the planet. Urge the Federal Trade Commission to require manufacturers to make electronics that last and reduce the nation’s carbon footprint.
Start Paying Nations Equally for Reducing Greenhouse Gasses
The rise of greenhouse gasses has led to some regions receiving financial compensation for their efforts to reduce this environmental poison. Africa is a major player working with polluters but is not paid as equally as others. Demand fair compensation for African nations who are helping to save the planet.
Stop Making Toxins and Hazardous Waste Under the Guise of “Recycling”
Chemical companies want to classify toxic facilities as “recycling” plants, evading health and environmental regulations. Don’t let polluters get away with greenwashing hazardous waste.
Include Livestock’s Massive Carbon Footprint in Climate Change Talks
The meat and dairy industry’s huge contribution to the global climate crisis is once again being overlooked by policymakers. Call for action to reduce carbon emissions from animal agriculture.
Force Powerful Chemical Companies to Protect Public Health
3M produces toxic chemicals that reportedly leech into nature and eventually our drinking water. This powerful company has seemingly admitted the adverse effects its products can have on people but has done little to address it. Demand 3M work to reverse potential harm done and prevent anyone else from getting sick.
Save Citruses From Succumbing to Yellow Dragon Disease
Yellow dragon disease, a deadly bacterium carried in insects, is targeting orange trees around the world. Demand global leaders utilize a natural predator to fight this deadly foe.
Young Activists Fighting Against Climate Devastation Need Our Support
A wave of youth-led activism has upended the politics of climate change and given us a shot at a livable future. Learn more about this mass grassroots uprising and support young people fighting the climate crisis.
Give All Communities a Fighting Chance Against Natural Disasters
Clear alerts for natural disasters save lives, yet a large part of the world lacks these vital aids. Demand more investment in early warnings and disaster preparedness as climate change worsens.
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
The country’s waterways are under threat from manure created by the hundreds of thousands of chickens at Tyson Foods’ partnering farms. 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.
Save the Snow Crabs From Disappearing Forever
A fixture of the Alaskan seas is in danger due to climate change and overfishing. We must save the snow crab before it’s too late.
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.
