Don’t Restrict Standards for Energy Saving Technology

Please lend your voice in urging that these energy programs be allowed to continue without restriction.

Stop Illegal Sand Exploitation in Vietnam

Residents in Vietnam’s Dong Nai Province are hopelessly trying to protect their homes and farms from erosion as a result of illegal sand exploitation.

We must stop the sale and exploitation of illegal sand in Vietnam to save valuable farming and residential properties.

Demand that European Fleets Stop Deep Sea Overfishing

European fleets have been openly disregarding the limits on fishing quotas, and are participating in harmful over-fishing. Deep-sea fish are particularly vulnerable to rampant population decimation as a result of these practices. Demand that sustainable policies are strictly enforced for these European fleets.

Restore Chelsea Wetlands in Hercules, California

The California Natural Resources Agency awarded a grant to the city of Hercules for the restoration and preservation of the Chelsea Wetlands.

Urge the California Natural Resources Agency to reinstate the grant.

Get Hershey to End its Harmful Child Labor Practices

Hershey continues to be the only chocolate company to use child labor in its supply chain.
