  • The purpose of this first petition is to stop the oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The ANWR is the largest National Wildlife refuge in the country. Recently, the Trump administration has put this area up for sale for big name oil companies to conduct their drilling. This refuge is home to hundreds of Indigenous people and hundreds of animals that make up the biodiversity of this region. Signing this petition will stop the Trump administration from destroying land that is essential for the biodiverse protection of the planet.

  • The purpose of this petition is to help protect the Paiter Surui Indigenous people in the Amazon Rainforest. Because of factors such as illegal logging, agriculture production, and miners, Indigenous people in the Amazon are constantly at risk.

  • This petition aims for Amazon to offer plastic free packaging options. Online shopping has become a large convenience factor for society, but it can also be extremely unsustainable.

  • This petition aims to Demand that the EPA regulates pollutants that increase covid related deaths. Covid-19 has impacted hundreds of millions of Americans, and those impacted by lung related issues are suffering because of the pollutants being emitted.

    5. http://chng.it/TJgd2SmXwf 
  •  This petition aims to stop the slaughter of polar bears by trophy hunters, and places protection to this endangered species. Ever since the impacts of climate change have worsened, it has displaced thousands of polar bears, making them more endangered now than ever. The hunting of these animals only further drives them into extinction. This petition will help end the prerogative of greed that drives the trophy hunters to hunt polar bears.

Signing this petition will put a stop to projects like the mining of these unprotected areas.

  • The purpose of this petition is to put an end to unsustainable palm oil practices. Palm oil is used as a preservative in products such as cosmetics, packaged snacks, and candy.

    8. https://www.signherenow.org/petition/green-new-deal/bonamici/e/ 
  • During his presidency, Trump has tried to reject environmental policies such as the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal would begin a Green Revolution, demanding that we cut ties with fossil fuels and focus our energy into investing in clean energy. Signing this petition will encourage congress to enact the Green New Deal that further pushes positive change for the environment.  
    9. https://www.change.org/p/congress-president-trump-keep-the-paris-climate-accord 
  • This petition aims to reenact the Paris Climate Accord that the Trump administration drew the United States out of.

The EPA has concluded that large scale mining leads to loss of biodiversity, general waste, and contamination of clean air and water. Signing this petition would protect the land that is under attack from big name mining companies that disregard clean environmental practices.
