How the President Plans to Cut Methane Emissions by 40-45%

http://community.foreffectivegov.org/site/R?i=6bAPxNXFrihf-rIiAuxvYA

Last week, the Obama administration announced its proposed rule to cut
future methane emissions from oil and gas production. Methane
contributes 10 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from human
activities that are warming the earth, so the rule is a step towards
meeting our climate change targets. A few disappointments in the rule.

claim existing Yelp pages that already bear their name or create new
pages. This change will allow federal agencies to respond to citizen
queries and complaints and engage with people across the country. Yelp
them.

Proposed Monsanto Merger with Swiss Chemical Giant Raises Troubling
Questions

http://community.foreffectivegov.org/site/R?i=EZFToD2X7oEuQQ2cOz0E-Q

Allowing Monsanto and Syngenta to merge would likely give the
corporation unfair advantages over competitors and drive others to
pursue mergers of their own. It would also allow Monsanto to avoid at
least $1.5 billion in U.S. taxes if it chose to "invert" and
reincorporate in Syngenta's home country of Switzerland.
Creating a monster?

Student Debt Matters to All of Us
http://community.foreffectivegov.org/site/R?i=k1UU1TcwA-wzwJ7Y1abBew

Ahead of the 2016 presidential election, candidates of both parties
have proposed solutions to increase college affordability, reduce the
burden of high interest rates on graduates, and ensure that future
students will not be discouraged from pursuing a college education
because of its price tag. Candidate proposals to solve college
affordability vary widely.
