Union of Concerned Scientists: "Electric vehicles (EVs) can play a central role in the fight to cut oil use and global warming emissions for decades to come. Recent UCS analysis shows that driving on electricity instead of gasoline is good for the climate and for drivers' wallets no matter where in the United States you drive. But the decisions we make today will impact how quickly the EV market will grow and how clean EVs will become.
As dozens of new models hit the road, it's time to ensure that every state is working to make EVs easier to own and that EVs plug into an electricity grid that is powered by clean energy. Help make your state ready for a clean vehicle future by urging your governor to lower barriers to EV ownership and clean up your state's electricity grid." >>>Take Action |

NDRC: "House Republicans are taking aim at the Obama administration’s National Ocean Policy—a landmark environmental achievement that will safeguard our oceans, beaches and marine wildlife. Urge your representative to reject any attempt to weaken the National Ocean Policy." >>>Take Action |

Care 2: "In the past two decades, 21 people—5 of them children—have been killed by captive big cats in the United States. And there have been 246 maulings—and 254 escapes. It is estimated that there are now between 10,000 and 20,000 big cats in private ownership in the United States, with more tigers privately-owned than exist in the wild.
It's virtually impossible for a private owner to provide an appropriate habitat for a large wild cat. Sadly, the cats often live their entire adult lives in cramped backyard kennels, basements or even warehouses. Two members of the House of Representatives, Rep. Buck McKeon and Rep. Loretta Sanchez, have just introduced a bipartisan bill (the 'Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act') that would prohibit the private possession of big cats (except by accredited zoos and wildlife sanctuaries)." >>>Take Action

National Wildlife Federation Action Fund: "Across the Arctic, some caribou herds are facing troubling declines as rising temperatures threaten the wild landscapes on which they depend. Right now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is drafting a plan that will determine which of these lands and waters will be developed for oil and gas leasing, and which will be protected.
"Help protect Alaska's caribou by editing and sending a message to the BLM, urging them to protect crucial habitat in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska." >>>Take Action |

CREDO: "Arch Coal is moving forward with the largest mountaintop removal coal mining operation in West Virginia's history -- but President Obama's White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has the power to step in and block this disastrous project. Tell the Council on Environmental Quality: Protect West Virginia from mountaintop removal at the Spruce Mine." >>>Take Action |

Sierra Club: "Urge your Senators to oppose the so-called "Preserve the Waters of the United States Act." This bill does nothing to protect waters as the name implies, but is a giveaway to developers and polluters who are trying to reverse long-established protections for our streams and wetlands, endangering all of our communities and threatening the safety of our drinking water. This dirty water bill would prevent the Obama administration from completing a policy on the scope of the Clean Water Act which would help end years of confusion stemming from misguided Bush administration actions and court decisions." >>>Take Action |

Change.org: "In the past several months, three separate studies have added substantial weight to the growing body of evidence showing that widespread use of neonicotinoids is linked to Colony Collapse Disorder. Bayer AG markets its neonics to growers of corn, soy, wheat, cotton, sorghum, peanuts, and other crops. We request that the EPA act now to immediately suspend EPA registration of neonicotinoids and remove Bayer's products from the market. There is so much at stake. We must do everything possible to protect what bees we have left." >>>Take Action |

Oceana: "Manta rays are threatened with extinction, but that doesn't stop businesses from selling their parts. Alibaba.com, the world's largest business-to-busness commerce website, sells boots and wallets made out of manta ray leather. This is inexcusable, and they should know better.
Three years ago, Oceana activists joined other conservation groups to successfully petition Alibaba.com to stop selling shark products. Now we're calling on you again. We need your help to tell them the world is watching, and they need to stop selling products that threaten ocean species. We did it once—we can do it again. Sign today, and tell Alibaba.com founder and CEO Mr. Jack Ma to be an ocean leader and stop selling manta ray products." >>>Take Action |

NRDC: "The unnecessary use of antibiotics in animals is a key culprit in the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. But the FDA has failed to restrict use of the vast majority of antibiotics in the meat industry. Before the March 6th comment deadline, urge the FDA to take real action to protect one of medicine's greatest tools by ending antibiotics overuse in livestock." >>>Take Action |

League of Conservation Voters: "The nation's primary chemical safety law is grossly outdated. It has failed to protect our communities from dangerous, cancer-causing chemicals. We must hold the chemical industry accountable and pass new legislation to safeguard the health and safety of our families." >>>Take Action |
