20 mph for residential roads in Epsom & EwellWe have a nursery in our local church at the end of our road. Our road is used as a cut through to get to Chessington Road, hence we get lots of speeding cars down our road. Our kitten was hit by one of these cars last week and we are devastated as he sadly died. We need to do something, although we cannot bring him back. Which is why I am starting this petition.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jen Mitchell

END GLUE TRAPSNo animal deserves to die a slow and agonising death with very unnecessary suffering. Glue traps are also indescriminate - they can trap loved pets and wildlife that was not under target.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jan Fairhurst

Soft drinks jackets on bottlesI was told today by one soft drinks company, (who I contacted for information about their products’ jackets), that they didn’t have that information to hand. They then phoned me back, to say, “it’s entirely recyclable”. Well, if it is, surely that info should be added to the jackets. I was also told, by the same person, that, just as I wouldn’t recycle a baked beans tin without washing it first, their drinks’ jackets should be removed BEFORE recycling their plastic bottles. What? A simple line of text on the jacket about its material would suffice. Lucozade Rubens Suntory LTD, Britvic and others need to be more transparent. It’s vital for consumers to not only be aware of their drink’s contents, but also what the entire packaging is made of, for recycling purposes and to make an informed choice. Companies should declare precisely which material the jackets are made from, giving consumers the information needed when selecting a drink. In this age of environmental awareness and increased environment responsibility, consumers require to be better informed. We have a moral and ethical right to know if the jackets are entirely safe to recycle, (and, conversely, if they are potentially damaging to the environment and wildlife). And ... if we’re supposed to peel off the jackets and recycle the bottle and jacket separately, then this needs to be stated on the jacket. It certainly should not be a matter of guess work, assuming because the plastic bottle is recyclable, then the jacket must be too!21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jeanette Sitton

Less plastic in Somerset's supermarketsSingle-use plastic water bottles are polluting our environment as they are non-biodegradable. Studies have also shown that traces of plastic are found in the liquids they hold, which has the potential to be damaging to human health. Reusable bottles and cups can last a lifetime and save people money in the long-run. There are many alternative materials to plastic packaging that are biodegradable and just as effective.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Georgia Merrell

Ban Horse Jump Racing34 horses have died this year alone due to this cruel sport. These animals are bred for 1 purpose, to entertain humans. The same as fighting cocks, and vicious dogs. Our sport and our amusement, yet 2 of these are BANNED, why not not the other? Because it is a form of taxation for the British Government. It has to stop. It is cruel. 1668 Deaths in 4026 Days in the U.K. alone. Please share if you care.151 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dave Horwood

Introduce a cap on the number of properties individuals/companies can ownWe are constantly reminded of the pressures in the need for housing which then adds pressure to greenfield and brown fields areas to be used for building. Areas of outstanding natural beauty and homes for wildlife and sanctuary for locals are then put under pressure and force until they too have to make way for houses. This cap would force the government to take control over individuals and companies who have a monopoly over properties and remove this shortsighted and environmentally devastating plan of building more and more houses (which will quickly be bought up by many individuals and companies with multiple properties) which the government has in plans. This plan is only to line pockets of the rich to become richer. This will provide homes, which exist already to people who need them, demand would reduce therefore homes would become more accessible to families and everyday people and force us to take responsibility as a nation for the environment around us.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Clements

Emotional surport dogsIn the uk 16 million people suffer with a mental health issue, thats 1 in 4 people thats a stagaring amount. Recent and past studies have proven the good efects of a animal with suffers of depresion, anxiaty, even with our servive men and woman with PTSD. I want our government to recognise that animals can be an emotional support for a mental health suffer and prove invaluable in allowing a suffer to carry out day to day tasks. In the UK emotional support dogs are not recognised as our service dogs are, so they cannot go to work with us, go into a shop, travel, go to medical appointments, these are daily tasks that can be daunting and debilitating for a suffer to do and face alone,with the aid of a support dog its proven these tasks are manageable suffers are able to carry on life go out shopping even go to work with such support from a 4 legged friend. Please sign this petition so thousands can benefit from an emotional support dog.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Dutton

EcologisingMy name is Gaia the Garbage. I help run Ecologisers, a Young People's Anti-litter Campaign. For a 2 minute fun-video that gives the whole picture, please visit https://vimeo.com/233979354 We have 4 creative projects we're forwarding and have taken into schools, and universities through current teacher-training routes. These are: Alternative Santa, LItter Goes LIterary, the Children's Humorously Captioned Photography Competition and the writing of EcoSongs. I've written 45 EcoSongs. Put upbeat celebratory eco-lyrics to famous out-of-copyright tunes. This project and others like it are important because the way we tackle problems, including global problems, is not solution-oriented. It's quick-fix or commerically-led. Though we have been running this campaign for 4 years we have funded it ourselves as litter is seen as the pariah of the enivronmental movement. Numerous applications for funding we have made have failed. At Ecologisers we want to make litter 'sexy'!!27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gaia Dance

Stop bird food in plastic netsNot only can birds easily get trapped in the nets. Larger birds might actually eat the whole net. Such is seen in this video of a seagull. https://m.facebook.com/groups/498560990231804?view=permalink&id=126961091646013784 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carin De Leeuw

Stop McDonalds using plastic strawsUK McDonalds Resteraunt and takeaways are responsible for Millions of plastic straws being thrown away every week. If they switched to using paper straws for their drinks, it'd be a huge step forward in the fight against the plastic pollution choking our seas. On an average day, 3.5 million people buy a drink in McDonalds- Each drink has a plastic straw. Every straw ever made is still in existence. 😭 Please sign the petition urging McDonalds to stop using plastic straws.135 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Grace Bending

Ban the cruel trapping of magpies, crows, jays and rooksThe wild “decoy bird”, its most vital instincts frustrated and abused by confinement, suffers a terrible fate. Close to the ground it is terrorised by predators, and watches as its fellow birds are brutally killed in front of it. A number end up being found dead through neglect. The Larsen trap is a cage bird trap made of wire and either a wooden for metal framed cage where one live bird (decoy bird, or call bird), usually a crow or magpie, is placed to encourage another bird, not always of similar species, to come down to it. This visiting bird, not knowing its fate, falls through a false floor into a compartment, where it awaits its fate with the gamekeeper. Larsen Traps were designed by a Danish gamekeeper (Larsen) in the 1950s, but are now banned in that country because the traps are viewed as inhumane for trapping magpies and crows. The live traps use a “decoy” bird, which is kept in one compartment, and when another bird lands on top, it falls through a one-way gate. Legally they must have a perch, shelter, food and water, but this is often neglected.489 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Katherine Langrish
