Toxic-free future

With 85,000 chemicals in commercial use, it is no surprise that Californians are over-exposed to a vast array of hazardous ones. We want safer products, but we don’t even know which chemicals are toxic and which products, many of which we use every day, contain them.

Program

Save Yosemite

There are 185 active mining claims within 10 miles of Yosemite — close enough that cyanide and other toxic chemicals used in the mining process could contaminate rivers, forests and meadows around the park, and harm the peregrine falcon, black bear and other wildlife that live there.

Program

Protect the Pacific Crest Trail

The Pacific Crest Trail is one of California’s irreplacable landmarks. The trail stretches across the entire state, from the Mojave Desert to the Sierra Nevada mountains. But right now, over 200 miles are privately owned, which means they could be sold off and developed into roadways or housing developments. We can stop this if we build enough public support.

Program

No More Nuclear Disasters

Japan’s Fukushima disaster is a wake-up call for Californians: Our use of nuclear power means we’re gambling with the environment and our health. With so many clean energy alternatives available, we don’t need nuclear power to provide renewable, carbon-free electricity.

Program

No Fracking in California

Big Oil companies have California in their sights again. This time, they want to unleash fracking, the hugely controversial form of drilling, from San Francisco to LA. If we allow Big Oil to frack California, we’re facing an environmental nightmare.

Program

Keep plastic out of the Pacific

In just one year, our movement to stop plastic pollution has grown by leaps and bounds, from Los Angeles to Marin, with single-use plastic bags now banned in more than 60 communities. Together, we can achieve a statewide ban — saving more sea turtles and other wildlife by keeping plastic out of the Pacific.

Program

Go Solar, Los Angeles!

Los Angeles has tremendous rooftop solar power potential, yet less than 1% of our energy comes from the sun. We can and must do more, putting solar power on homes, schools and businesses, helping Los Angeles reduce air pollution and create jobs.

Program

Global Warming Solutions

Global warming is real and it’s happening now. The good news is it can be solved with solutions like renewable energy, energy efficiency, and cleaner cars, along with a cap on carbon. By enacting smart policies and innovative solutions, we can dramatically cut pollution and be a leader for the rest of the country.  

Program

Expand Yosemite

Yosemite National Park has captivated millions of Californians, tourists, hikers and even visionaries like John Muir. But shortly after becoming a national park, hundreds of acres of land were stripped from Yosemite and were given to loggers, miners and the railroad industry. Now we're fighting to get that land back.

Program

Cleaner Cars, Cleaner Air

We can drastically cut global warming pollution and reduce smog, simply by switching to cleaner cars — including ones that release zero emissions. The technology exists, so we’re calling on our leaders to enact commonsense policies to help us make the transition.
