Every day, people are throwing away all kinds of plastic bags and packaging that cannot be recycled, creating mountains of waste. This ends up in landfill, is burnt in incinerators, releases dangerous toxins into the atmosphere, and escapes into our oceans. There are now 46,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometre of the world's oceans, killing a million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals each year. The planet is facing a crisis of pollution and finite resources. It is absurd to use non-recyclable materials in a time when many kinds of plastic can be recycled. When the well-being of the earth is in jeopardy, seemingly tiny actions amount to a phenomenal change when they are done at scale. What a difference it would make if all plastic packaging could be recycled. You the supermarkets should be leading the way and eliminating any packaging that is destined for landfill. In your role to bring good food to the nation you should ensure that all packaging can be recycled. The food on our table relies on a healthy environment, not one that is contaminated.

Because Lord Green subsequently became a trade minister and is a member of the House of Lords. We need transparency and accountability and unless he gives an account of his activities, his position in untenable.

Why should a private company have the ability to spuriously withdraw benefits from single mothers? Threatening them in the process. If they have taken on the job they expect to profit and the only way they can is by cutting benefits by hook or by crook. This is another scandal of ASOS proportions.

Tax payers' money should not be handed over to private companies to provide vital services, when those companies are not open to public scrutiny. The availability of fresh water is one of the crises facing our planet and it is therefore imperative that we guarantee that it is preserved for the good our people and not for the good of a greedy corporate business who cannot be trusted to act in that interest.

There is increased inequality in the UK. CEO annual salaries are obscene in this context and no-one, repeat no-one, justifies multi-million annual salaries. We bailed the banks out. Some of these are still making losses AND paying millions in bonuses. This is plain wrong , unfair and disgusting. We need to make this a top 5 election issue.

The disabled are people too and should be afforded the same opportunities and rights as able bodied citizens.

An application for Bax Close is currently with Horsham District Council and has been timed by Bovis Homes to avoid the Local Neighbourhood Plan which is currently out for consultation. Access to Bax Close is proposed through New Town Road - both are narrow, single file roads and do not have the capacity for this much traffic. New Town Road also has a dangerous entrance/exit point on a hill and children walking to school (of which there are many) will be at risk. This is without consideration for the significant infrastructure issues in the village - huge traffic congestion, air quality issues, sewage plant at capacity, no primary school spaces.

It has recently been known that mega bank company Santander is funding forest destruction on a massive scale in Indonesia. The company denied their actions for many months, but after Greenpeace released a campaign signed by 75,000 people, they finally came clean. On the 11th of February 2015, Santander released a statement revealing that they are involved in funding APRIL, a pulp and paper company in Indonesia. And although coming clean about what they had been up to, they also revealed that they were continuing to fund APRIL and tried to make restitution by telling us that they "will continue to monitor the company’s progress against the agreed improvements and act accordingly." Greenpeace researches have learned that in the past year alone, an area of rain forest three times the size of Paris has been taken away from Borneo. Yet our friendly, or not so friendly high street bank are still putting money on the table. As a Santander customer, I was incredibly outraged when I learned this news and I don't feel that Santander are taking it seriously enough. It is therefore that I ask upon the 38 degrees community to stop forest destruction on a massive scale across Indonesia but also to let Santander know that we think their actions are wrong, and we want to do something about it. Thankyou.

The Government should stop British registered companies destroying the lives of tribal people and environment in India. Essar Energy is registered in Britain and is part of the same multinational giant that is involved in Stanlow Refinery in Cheshire. It is planning to dig coal in Madhya Pardesh province of India, which is the same state where in Bhopal poisonous gas from a chemical plant operated by Union Carbide (part of an American multinational) in 1984 killed many thousands innocent people and left even greater number with permanent serious health problems. Mahan Forest which Essar Energy may be destroying is one of the oldest Sal tree forest in Asia. It is sanctuary for wild life including some endangered species. Many thousand tribal people in the area also make sustainable living from collection of forest produce. So they are campaigning to save their culture and sustainable mode of living with the help of Green Peace India. Although on paper Indian laws provide protection for tribal people. Some people have alleged that to get around Indian laws that provide some protection to tribal communities, fake documents were created by some parties involved. The new Government of India under Prime Minister Modi (who was chief minister of Gujarat when in 2002 nearly thousand innocent citizens of India were killed by religious extremists and some his colleagues were found guilty of those crimes in 2012) is not only supporting this environmental vandalism but has also started to intimidate those who are helping the tribal people. Soon after coming to power Modi led BJP Government of India froze the funds of Green Peace India, which has since been judged to be illegal action by the High Court. Recently lawyer Ms Pryia Pillai was on her way to London to meet all party group of MPs who are interested in the welfare of tribal people. But Indian authorities stopped her at Delhi airport under laws meant for absconding dangerous criminals and terrorist. So it is reasonable to suspect that the Modi led government is trying to intimidate environmental and human rights activists and stop them from letting British people know about the unethical involvement of British registered firms in destroying the lives of tribal people and environmental vandalism in a fellow Commonwealth member nation. Please sign the petition requesting Prime Minister Cameron to stop British registered firms indulging in unethical practises which may destroy the lives of tribal people and environment of Mahan Forest area in India or in other places. And object to Modi led Indian government hindering friendly people to people contacts between British and Indian citizens. Paramjit Bahia

Many people find that they can't vote simply because they are not registered.

Residents are increasingly frustrated by delays to the Tesco development project on Hazelwell Lane; with work yet to start some 14 years after it was first proposed. Despite assurances that Tesco is committed to building the store, we have yet to see a start date. The site is lying derelict and unused, is being used by fly-tippers and has become a dumping ground for old fridges and freezers. Local business owners have told us that it is even affecting sales as the area is now a ghost town. This land could be put to use for the good of the community in the surrounding area. If Tesco were to release the land the local community could have a say in how the land is used to its benefit.

In 2012, Gloucestershire County Council agreed a £500 million contract with corporate developer UBB (Urbaser Balfour Beatty) to build and operate a huge "mass burn" incinerator at Javelin Park, Haresfield, on the edge of the Cotswolds designated Area Of Natural Beauty, to be paid for using taxpayers' money. Negotiations were shrouded in secrecy and no public consultation was entered into with respect to cleaner and cheaper waste solutions [1], which were - and still are - available. We do not know the contents of the contract, because they have never been fully revealed. What we do know is that - democratic bodies representing over half of the county opposed the plans (2 MPs, 3 District Councils,19 Town and Parish Councils) - 3 weeks after the contract was actually signed, in 2013, the Gloucestershire County Council Planning Committee, after a full hearing of all sides of the debate, voted unanimously to refuse planning permission [2] And yet, on the 7th of January 2015, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Eric Pickles overturned that democratic planning decision. Now we are being told that if the Council uphold democracy and cancel the contract with UBB there will be a massive penalty to pay - up to £100 million - yet we are not being told how they have reached this figure. We have a right to know how this happened. It is our money, our environment and our health that are at issue and we are not being told the whole story. NOTES: [1] An MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) plant already has planning permission in Gloucestershire - and UBB themselves have been commissioned to build one in Essex. See the developer's own explanation of its advantages: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gVTCv92hHWNDs5LxcJ7CoEruEPxuad9gul-T9nIsuI4/edit [2] Among the reasons for refusal were: - evidence of air pollution and fear of health risk - competition with sustainable methods such as recycling - huge impact on the landscape - high CO2 emissions - significant import of waste from elsewhere required to maintain function
