The Obama administration has recently implemented the We the People website, where you can submit and sign petitions. Petitions reaching 100,000 signatures will be reviewed by the Obama administration! Although they may ignore petitions with more then that or answer petitions before 100,000. It's semi-arbitrary.

Each petition requires 150 signatures before it goes public, so post and discuss worthy petitions, or promote already public petitions that need a little signature love.

Sister sub-reddits: /r/enviroaction - This is a subreddit dedicated to actions people can take or are taking to preserve the environment - petitions, fundraisers, events, infographics, images and videos of events are welcome. Emphasis should be on actions users can take or images they can share elsewhere.

Sign the Global Plastics Treaty Petition!

Sign here: https://action.earthday.org/global-plastics-treaty

Plastic pollution is a global issue that destroys environments, diminishes biodiversity, increases global warming, and harbors immense potential to impact human health. Study after study continues to reveal a disturbing prognosis: if current practices continue unabated there will be an increase in hormonal illnesses, cancers, and cardiovascular system damage related to plastic production and consumption. This grim scenario, however, is not predestined; we possess the power to steer our collective future away from this impending crisis. Through this petition, we seek to mobilize global action to counteract plastic pollution and its far-reaching consequences.

Plastic pollution is a global problem demanding a global solution. It is an issue transcending national borders, affecting every nation and citizen on Earth. As such, it is incumbent upon the United Nations and Governmental Organizations to take decisive action on this issue.

We, the undersigned, call on the United Nations and Governmental Organizations to commit once and for all to:

  • Support a highly ambitious Global Plastic Treaty that binds all to the same standards
  • A 60% of reduction of all fossil fuel-based plastic production by 2040
  • Requiring producers and retailers of plastics to be liable for the cost of any environmental or health-related damages in accordance with the “producer pays” principle
  • Public and private sector investments in innovation to replace all fossil fuel-based plastics
  • Ban all plastic-related tobacco products including, but not limited to tobacco filters and e-cigarettes
  • Ban the export of plastic waste
  • End the incineration of plastic waste
  • Support innovative solutions and alternatives to plastic in all sectors
  • Fully-financed education and public awareness campaigns to inform the public about reasons and strategies for ending plastic pollution

The Global Plastic Treaty is an opportunity for the United Nations and Governmental Organizations to prove the health of the planet and its citizens take priority over an industry threatening the health of every human on Earth. Most importantly, though, it is a chance for our world to come together as one, and truly pledge and commit themselves to restoring the planet, following the model of the successful international cooperation found in the Montreal Protocol. The Global Plastics Treaty has the potential to end plastic pollution, protect human health, and lead to a waste-free world. We cannot allow our governments to waste this pivotal opportunity.

Get Congress to take action against the dangerous chemicals in your drinking water.

The Bill: "PFAS Accountability Act" (S.1334) is currently unmoving in congress

  • Accountability for irresponsible PFAS manufacturing
  • Encourage and incentivize PFAS research for individual safety
  • Protections and medical care for individuals significantly exposed to PFAS

PFAS chemicals have been found in 97% of the U.S. population. If we don't act now, PFAS levels in our blood will accumulate over time leading to serious health complications and various cancers.

It directly affects you & only takes a minute. It would go a long way if you could sign and share it with your friends & family.

Thanks!

Support Recycling

Support e-cigarettes recycling. Join the petition by sending a comment to USPS today!

BIDI Vapor understands the potential ban on shipping e-cigarettes is to prevent minors from purchasing them by mail.

But we also believe that restricting the mailing of vape products would mean the inability to recycle them.

Let us stand together and move toward a sustainable future. Comment now to support our recycling program: https://p2a.co/kvRYbQF

My ideal government

Dear White House,

My ideal government is one that puts the people first regardless of what the interests of politicians, government, etc.

Saying that the basic necessities of the people have to be met, the big one is transportation. I want a government that works together instead of debating on whether or nots. The ideal government has to be able to provide what is NEEDED and not what is WANTED.

The biggest thing that ticks me off and makes me boil is that the idea of "taxes", Why are we citizens footing the bill in terms of having to fill out a form and having to research how to pay a forced idea of "taxes"? Why not teach us how to do "taxes" instead of having us run around with our heads cut off? Why deem cluelessness as "no excuse"? Why are we citizens doing the work in order for our money to be involuntarily taken? Why is it being born an obligation for taxes?

Why can't taxes be more fairer, my idea is: tax amount needed / census per state. Deductibles should be paid out in a form of tax return, instead of a discount on the amount of tax is paid by the individual. Give us an invoice containing the itemized organizations and entities that NEED funds in order to provide for the people, provide a section of the invoice to where the people can list our deductibles. Stop making us spend our money in order to do taxes.

Why does the contact form on whitehouse.gov download a dms file?

I sent an email "to the president" and when I submitted on FF it gave me a prompt to download a random filename with DMS extension.

Anyone else get this?

Legalize it!

If it's all legal, there will technically be no crime. Sweep all of that crime under the rug. Also, I'm gonna add a rider in this here petition and demand a nationwide Taco Tuesday holiday. Any day works fine, I just want me a walking taco.

Free Kurdistan!

Iran hates the US and is constantly trying to undermine it. It also hates the idea of independent Kurdistan. The US should support Kurdistan’s independence to stick it to Iran. The Kurds have suffered long enough being dominated by foreign powers(the Iraqis, Syrians, Turks, and Iranians) and have fought long and hard against ISIS. We shouldn’t hang them out to dry.

The Turks probably couldn’t get that close to Russia, considering how just a couple years ago the Turks shot down a Russian plane. At best they could be allies of convenience, until something else came up. The Iraqi “democratic” government is a failure. It excludes and discriminated against minorities(which helped fuel the rise of ISIS) and is thoroughly corrupt, ignoring the very constitution that it demands the Kurds follow.

If you want to support Kurdish independence, here’s a petition:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/free-kurdistan-5

Thanks for support!
