Earthjustice: "Florida’s water pollution is a national disgrace and that requires a national response. Tell President Obama that Florida’s state plan to clean up water pollution allows more toxic algae-infested waterways and that a federal solution is required." >>>Take Action

NRDC: "Overfishing, dam construction and climate change have caused catch levels of river herring to plunge 98 percent from pre-1970 levels. The National Marine Fisheries Service is considering listing the alewife and blueback herring as "threatened" species under the Endangered Species Act to protect them from these dangers. Urge the National Marine Fisheries Service - before the February 3rd comment deadline - to move forward as quickly as possible with a comprehensive and independent scientific review." >>>Take Action

National Wildlife Federation: "There are fewer than 200 Florida panthers left in the wild--making it one of the country's most critically endangered species. Federal conservation programs have been crucial in preventing the Florida panther from going extinct, but right now these and many other programs that are important to wildlife conservation are at risk of getting cut by Congress.
"You have the power to help save the Florida panther -- make sure crucial conservation programs are not gutted by Congress' efforts to reduce the federal deficit. Take Action! Help save the Florida panther by editing and sending a message to your members of Congress, urging them to oppose cuts to crucial conservation programs." >>>Take Action

Defender's of Wildlife: "Federal officials have formally announced plans to eliminate vital protections for wolves in Wyoming, leaving these iconic animals at the mercy of a shoot-on-sight state policy that covers nearly 90% of the state.
The proposal could lead to indiscriminate wolf killing across the vast majority of Wyoming… even on national forests and other lands owned by the American taxpayer. Help save these wolves. Tell U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe that you OPPOSE the premature delisting of wolves in Wyoming." >>Take Action

Greenpeace: "Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) has been driving Indonesian rainforest destruction at an alarming rate to make throw-away tissue products. This deforestation is not only polluting our climate, but also pushing wildlife like the Sumatran tiger towards extinction. With only 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, every bit of its dwindling forest habitat matters.
"Here in the U.S., APP is trying to push its “Paseo” brand tissue products onto store shelves across the country. To do so, they are counting on people – and major retailers – to stay in the dark about the dirty secret behind their tissue products. But you can help us change that. Make sure retailers that are selling Paseo products, like Kmart, stop doing so, and that stores not selling it yet, like Walmart, don’t start!" >>Take Action

CREDO: "Does your food contain GMOs? Incredibly, we really don't know. An estimated 80% of processed foods sold in the U.S. contain genetically modified organisms. Yet GMO foods are totally unlabeled as such. For the past 20 years, Americans have been denied their basic right to know because of a flawed regulatory system that has relied on corporate science without adequate peer-reviewed testing and scientific oversight. It's time for that to change." >>Take Action

Oil Change International: "This past August, Congress created a “Super Committee” composed of 12 members of the House and Senate whose job it is to recommend $1.5 trillion in cuts to the federal budget by November 23rd.
"With our country facing massive cuts on programs like education and health care, we cannot afford to waste tens of billions of dollars each year in giveaways to the oil, coal and gas industries. Representatives Earl Blumenauer and Peter Welch have drafted a letter calling on the Super Committee to eliminate these handouts, which could reduce our national debt by $122 billion over the next ten years while bettering the environment and public health. Please ask your Member of Congress to join them." >>Take Action

CREDO: "It's clear by now that there's simply no chance of the State Department issuing a legitimate evaluation of the Keystone XL pipeline. Fortunately, there is some hope: The EPA, which is one of nine agencies that gets to weigh in on the process.
"Sometime in the next week, the EPA will issue its review of the State Department's Final Environmental Impact Report. Strong opposition from his own EPA will be essential if we're going to convince President Obama to reject this horrible pipeline. Tell EPA chief Lisa Jackson: Reject the State Department's sham review of Keystone XL." >>>Take Action

NRDC: "The Obama Administration has given Shell a tentative go-ahead to drill next summer off the sensitive coastline of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where an oil spill could be catastrophic to polar bears and other vulnerable wildlife. Tell Interior Secretary Salazar to reject Shell's outdated oil spill response plan and block that company’s final permits for drilling." >>>Take Action
