I have visited Turtle beaches in Northern and Southern Cyprus, and many other countries around the world. I have been very upset in finding rubbish of all sorts floating in the sea. Some of these are dangerously small particles such as broken down plastic, and bottle tops and other types of plastic which break into tiny pieces and get into the eco - system and into the stomachs of marine life around the world, and cause great pain, distress and even death. This is becoming very serious as the particles are so small they are now found in the stomachs of plackton pretty well the smallest form of life in our seas, and is a staple diet of many marine animals including whales. In the long term this will do untold damage not only to the marine life, but it will also get into our food chain with unknown consequences. Turtles are beautiful creatures and live all of their lives out at sea from the moment they hatch. Only one in a thousand will survive out in the oceans, and one of the things that will kill them on a regular basis are plastic bags. They feed on jelly fish, as part of their diet, and when they see a plastic bag they think it's a jellyfish and will eat it with diar and very sad consequences. The sea is the most wonderful enviroment for all of us. Not only providing us with fish to eat, but the most wonderful holidays with swimming, surfing, scenery, sailing, sandy beaches, rock pools the list is endless. Not only that, it helps to control the temperature of our world, and yet we treat it with distain. There is so much pollution and rubbish tipped into the oceas everyday, that more and more marine life is being affected. One of the main culprits is body scrubs and toothpastes. They contain thousands of small plastic beads which find their way into the sea, and then consumed by marine life. So to help please DO NOT buy these products unless the ingredients are peach kernels or sugar instead. More needs to be done in using plastic bags for fruit and vegetables at the supermarkets. It's been a start to pay for plastic carrier bags, but these small plastic bags in the fruit and veg area, are just as dangerous in our countryside and oceans, please encourage the supermarkets to use brown paper bags, which are far better and don't make the fruit and veg sweat, and are recyclable. The government is banning some products but not all, and a great more needs to be done, as there are more products out there which use plastic including cleaning products. If you love our planet, and everything about nature, then PLEASE sign my petition so we can help our beautiful oceans and everything that depends on it to live, including us, and our grandchildren to come. A BIG and heartfelt THANK YOU.

The Belfast Telegraph recently published an article outlining plans to demolish the Movie House on Dublin Road. "Plans are now under way to knock down the Movie House cinema on Dublin Road and build a £65m 12-storey office scheme with a capacity for 3,000 staff." You can read more here http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/news/65m-office-block-at-belfast-movie-house-site-will-create-600-jobs-35398523.html I believe that the Movie House on Dublin Road is one of the best cinemas in the city, out of the very few that we have. Losing it would be yet another nail in the coffin for the arts in Belfast for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. Any proposal to demolish this wonderful cinema would be yet another example of the rampant 'beigification' of Belfast. Those of us who want to save the Movie House from such shameful fate need to fight for it right now. A petition signed by 1000s of people whilst an open consultation process is ongoing may just make developers think twice about demolishing our cinema. We need the power of signatures to help us convince developers that the cinema is worth keeping and important to many people. We must unite and reject any proposals to destroy our arts scene.

This is important because it is an outdated and ignorant approach to modern day work life. I left my role within a very large law firm as I was unable to continue working for a company who said that I cannot be taken seriously and would never have a successful career if I did not wear makeup or wear a specific nail colour. This archaic approach made me feel very uncomfortable and disheartened that as a woman, my looks were considered far more important and influential than my abilities to fulfill a role. Dress length, make-up, nail colours, heels are all things that don't define your ability to do a job, so they should not be made part of a company policy. I'd love Intelligent Office to take a stand on this and show the way for other companies on these sexist policies

This is the last bank in Speyside, the closure means traveling 13.6 miles to Keith which is the branch customers are being transferred to. There is no direct bus link to Keith. Customers will need to take a bus to Elgin first (15 miles) then on to Keith (17 miles) The bus is also expensive. We have been told that we can use the local post office but as the local post offices have also closed this is not acceptable. The post office is now a counter in a local shop with no privacy and can't offer all the services of a bank. Pensioners don't feel secure going there and using the counter for their pensions. Many customers with a post office benefits account received letters asking them to change to a bank card which they did only to have their branch close. The people of Tomintoul had to travel 23 miles to use this branch after theirs was closed already.

For months, Leedale lorries have been going into the Brierley Forest Golf Club in Huthwaite, Notts, tipping loads of waste soil and rubble for redevelopment and then coming out and spreading muck all over the local roads (Main Street and Common Road), causing the roads to be dirty, filthy and slippery. There has been a lot of cars skidding. Peoples clothing, cars and houses have been getting covered in dirty spray coming off the roads. The lorries have also had a lot of stones, gravel and large chunks of rock and soil dropping off their loads, causing danger to road users and pedestrians, chipping paintwork on cars, flicking up at passer by's and also blocking drains. The safety of our children has been affected (the conditions of the roads outside the schools) The lorries have been parking on the pavements on Main street and restricting view of the pedestrians crossing the road, making it less safe. The lorry drivers have been reported to have bad road manners and attitude, speeding, pulling out in front of people and generally not having very good ettiquette. The people of Huthwaite and even residents of Sutton-in-Ashfield who go through Huthwaite via the common road - have all had enough. There has been numerous complaints to the golf club owners, to Leedale, to Ashfield District Council, to the local Police, to the Highways Agency. Nothing seems to be done. People have protested. There's an outrage on social media. Some people have tried to block the road to stop the lorries from passing and got arrested. Nothing seems to change. Enough is enough! Time to clean up your act!!

By making food outlets display their hygiene score; 1 - the public can make an informed choice, 2 - dirty, low scoring business's will be motivated to improve as the public boycott them and their revenues drop.

The message is clear - Shun the S*n We the undersigned share the same passion to honour the 96 & all the people affected by the lies The S*n newspaper printed about Liverpool Football Club fans that attended the Hillsborough match that fateful day The lies stuck with us for 27 years so we are passionate about getting that rag removed from our great city. Morals come before profits

Wild horses are and have been rounded up for exploitative use of their blood for around thirty years. This horrible news as recently come to light through under cover actions, it had been hidden from the public and its little wonder why. The wild horses are rounded up taken to "blood farms" hooked up to machinery , where their blood is extracted, there is a hormone which is then extracted from that and sold to Pharmaceutical companies, who in turn sell it to pig farmers here. This is a multi million industry. There are no rules or regulations in place to stop the horses being taken or to regulate the welfare of these horses while at these farms, many literally are bled to death. Even worse the pregnant mare as the more potent hormone (Gonadotropin) which is extracted during the early stages of pregnancy, the hormone is used in intensive farming of pigs and other farm animals to keep them in heat. And on top of that 20 per cent of the new born piglets are destroyed as the mother does not have enough teats to feed them all. All of this is completely criminal , unnatural, and unsustainable. The horses that are kept alive for further extraction are suffering a horrible existence. If we don't speak up about it and do something, we will have a huge Equine crisis on our hands as well as the continued issue of intensive farming .

It is hard enough to get children to understand the health risks of high sugar foods without Morrisons trying to persuade children that these cereals are ones that they SHOULD have for breakfast. Morrisons should take a more responsible attitude to the health of the nations children.

Harrods is a wealthy organisation that does not need to survive by pocketing tips left for members of staff. It is demeaning to Harrods, as an organisation, to be known to be doing this and very, very, unfair to staff.

The simple crisp needs a better home to help keep our home, Earth, clean. By using a material that cannot at least be recycled for items such as crisps increases the global pollution crisis. Around 6 billion bags of crisps are eaten across the UK alone in one year which means 6 billion crisp bags are not recycled. If a sneaky crisp packet gets into the rest of your recycling the whole of the recycling can be rejected meaning less in the end is actually recycled. Packaging that can be recycled reduces the need for new material to be manufactured and actually helps us save energy! For example by recycling an aluminum can, we save 95% of the energy that it would take to create a new can! But for plastic - One ton of recycled plastic saves 5,774 Kwh of energy, 16.3 barrels of oil, 98 million Btu's of energy, and 30 cubic yards of landfill space.(Sandford University) Crisp packaging needs to be updated for the 21st century and needs to be part of the solution in the ongoing pollution problem and not part of the problem.

If Rupert Murdoch has full control of Sky TV then in my opinion too much UK news media will be in the control of one person/company.
