Urgent - calling on BP to release all renewable energies researchOur one Earth is slowly being poisoned to death by our thirst for energy. BP should be doing everything in their power to alleviate this situation and help us make progress. The research they have locked away could hold vital clues for future breakthrough discoveries and, at the very least, stop scientists wasting their time by duplicating experiments that have already been attempted. There is absolutely no excuse for BP to avoid disclosure. They are literally murdering innocents through their silence. The Guardian newspaper has presented credible evidence of their culpability in this matter and I would strongly encourage everyone to read this article: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/16/bp-dropped-green-energy-projects-worth-billions-to-focus-on-fossil-fuels Why is this urgent? Well, the longer BP keep their knowledge locked-up, the more our planet is choked to death by pollution. A barrel-load of signatures from everyone on this petition mean we can bring real pressure to bear on this corporate behemoth, which would make all our futures much brighter.751 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Duff

STOP AGENCY WORKERS IN THE NHSWe are losing control of staff members by using external contractors to find staff for NHS. This could be for floor cleaning to doctors from abroad laying off of staff then re-employing into agency is not a good thing to do it needs to stop now or we lose the NHS to American contractors85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Walters

Thornton Heath says no to Paddy PowerWe believe there is already a saturation of betting shops in the Thornton Heath area (13 in total) and this has resulted in incidents of anti-social behaviour. It will also be detrimental to the health and well-being of local residents. If Thornton Heath is to remain a hub for the local community and play an important role in local economic life, there needs to be a variety of community, commercial and retail offerings. Another book betting shop will do nothing to sustain the area. We also believe that sitting a betting shop below social housing, next to the leisure centre and adjacent to the clock tower, a historical landmark, is an inappropriate site for a betting establishment.319 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Audsley

bring primark to great yarmouthGreat Yarmouth is a dying and out dated town. With regent road selling the same tat year after year and not all that good value for money and the town that is now just a mix of charity shops, banks and betting agents we are need of a affordable shop that sell children's and adults clothes and household items. The towns people would benefit greatly from a primark here.2,394 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Jessica sergeant

Explain Depression to Sun Columnist Katie HopkinsOne in four people suffer from this horrible, debilitating illness EVERY YEAR. It is a significant and proven cause of job losses, marriage breakdowns, drug and alcohol abuse, violence towards women and children, homelessness and suicide. Talking therapies such as counselling & psychotherapy are by far the best way to deal with mental health problems of this kind. Unfortunately the first step to getting help is talking about the illness, but the majority of sufferers do so in silence due to the stigma associated with mental health issues. This stigma is a direct result of the careless, uninformed and often deliberately offensive remarks of people in high profile positions, such as the Sun columnist Katie Hopkins. Until these people stand in solidarity with brave and outspoken public figures like Stephen Fry and Jon Snow this stigma will continue to cause completely unneccessary pain, suffering and even death for those who are afraid to voice the torment they feel. All it takes is a little education and a modicum of compassion. I implore Katie Hopkins to look up from her self-satisfied, self-righteous life and to see the pain that she and her ilk cause with their refusal to accept that others are less able or less equipped to cope with life's hardships.679 of 800 SignaturesCreated by David Lofts

Save Ladywell Crystals and Healing in Glasgow.After a 5 year fight, our landlord is demanding a huge sum of money for repairs bills and that we vacate our premises, destroying the business we've worked so hard to build up over the past 6 years. We've established a lovely spiritual community here, employing many therapists who provide help to many in need of healing. All we ask is for justice to prevail.363 of 400 SignaturesCreated by SAMANTHA COOPER

Costa - stop throwing good food away!During a visit to my local Costa Coffee outlet in January, I noticed that a lot of sandwiches and cakes remained unsold just 15 minutes before closing time. Thinking of the sustainability policy embraced by Pret A Manger, which sees them donating around 3,000,000 food items to homeless charities every year, I asked the staff if there was an equivalent policy in place at Costa. I was shocked to discover that company policy dictates that ALL leftover food must be bagged up and sent to landfill - no donating it to charity, no selling the food at a discount at the end of the day, no taking home of unsold food by staff. At a time when so many are going hungry and having to rely on foodbanks to feed their families, this policy is completely unacceptable. I have contacted the company on several occasions since that visit, repeatedly asking for someone to send me a copy of this policy in writing so that I might better understand their reasons for having it in place. Emails and Costa Facebook page posts went unanswered so I phoned and spoke to a staff member, who promised that they would email the policy to me. After 2 more weeks, still no email, so I called again (I'm nothing if not determined!) and received the same answer. And still nothing. So I think this petition is the next logical step. I hope enough other people agree that Costa are being needlessly wasteful and that public pressure will persaude the company that a major rethink of it's sustainability policy is in order. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Please can you share it with your friends? All the best, Mandy1,038 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Mandy Freewoman

Stop CJ Hole exploiting the housing crisis in BristolAn estate agent in Bristol called CJ Hole has been sending out letters to its landlord clients asking "Are you getting enough rent?" and "How do you get more rent?" The letter they are sending to landlords explains that "with rents increasing every week in Bristol, it is highly likely your property is due a rent increase.” It goes on to say that “the demand from tenants is far exceeding the number of available properties and we have never seen such a buoyant rental market." It doesn't once mention the rights of tenants. The letter shows how some estate agents and landlords are seeking to cynically profit from the housing crisis in Bristol at a time when inflation has declined to 0.3% and deflation is predicted. I think there is no justification for increasing rents at a time when prices are actually going down. In addition, real average earnings have fallen by 8% since 2008. Such predatory rental practices are an attack on low income people and threaten the most basic of rights – the security of a home to live in. Bristol's housing supply has been described by an official report as "in crisis." In 2013 just 60 affordable homes were built across Bristol Please sign this petition if you want CJ Hole to stop sending these letters to its landlord clients and if you want your next MP to support rent controls, giving more rights to tenants and building more affordable homes. If you have experienced a rent rise you believe is unjustified please post the details below. I.e. how much was it, was it in response to improvements made by the landlord, and any other points you think are relevant. If you have seen similar letters from other estate agents, please contact me. We will compile a list of all responses and use these as the basis for a later action/petition. Read the full letter below: https://s.bsd.net/38degrees/main/page/-/11096902_10153147467450900_147746140_n.jpg13,105 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Williams

Campaign to Save The Norman KingKEVIN McCLOUD, MBE -"Dunstable is short on great historic buildings and so the removal of any ancient scrap of architecture from the town is an appalling idea. We need to conserve the old to help us understand the present (and for that matter, the future) and heritage is not a burden but an amenity and a great blessing for our society. It gives us a sense of place and connection. The loss of the ancient fabric of The Norman King will be a crying shame and a further erosion of that connection. It's appalling that there has been no collective will among the authorities to keep as much as possible that remains of this fine old building and to insist on a sensitive program of repair and even reinstatement of the structure and roof lost to the fire. Apart from anything else, I used to drink there and will miss it." - KEVIN McCLOUD, MBE336 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Tompkins

Keep the Butcher at the new Cults Sainsbury's Local (Aberdeen AB15)Tesco's is only a few doors' up from your new store in Cults AB15, so to keep Kelly's customers when you take over, it would make economic sense to retain in your new store the things that customers come to Kelly's for. People travel from all over the area to buy the locally-sourced meat at the Kelly's Butchery Counter. They also love the Deli and Bakery Counters. It's also important to consider the local producers and the need to reduce food miles.175 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shan Parfitt

Save Home From Home NurseryHFH was one of the first nurseries to open in East/West Molesey. Dozens of children have benefited from the fantastic work and commitment of Emma and her team. They have provided fantastic loving care from the moment they opened nearly four years ago. They have only just found out that Rushmon Homes plan to install one of the anonymous corporate nursery companies in their place in the planned new nursery facilities. They were given no prior notice either by Rushmon or Molesey Football Club. It's madness to close a brilliantly successful local business, that has brought peace of mind to so many families in the Molesey area, and replace it with an alternative that undoubtedly has profits as it's main goal. Anyone with an ounce of sense can see that it would make the best sense to allow Emma to continue to build on the fantastic work she and her team have already accomplished in our local community. Please sign the petition and help save Home From Home.315 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Bruce Attenborrow

WRU Change your logo to the Welsh DragonThe reason removing the three feathers is important is because it's traced back to Edward the Black Prince; oldest son and heir to Edward III of England and therefore no connection to the native land. Having the feathers is a statement of English oppression and ownership - I find it offensive that it's being used instead of daffodils, leeks, the Red dragon or the Saint David's cross. Y rheswm mae'n bwysig cael gwared o'r tair pluen yw oherwydd ei fod yn olrhain yn ôl i Edward y Tywysog Du ; mab hynaf ac aer i Edward y trydydd o Loegr ac felly tydi o ddim yn cysylltu efo'r wlad enedigol . Mae cael y tair pluen yn ddatganiad o ormes a pherchnogaeth Saeson - Dwi'n gweld hi'n sarhaus i ei ddefnyddio yn lle gennin Pedr, cennin, y ddraig Goch neu y groes Dewi Sant .1,213 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by R Williams
