• Amazon to reduce paper/plastic packaging
    As we are already aware we live in a world that over pollutes and are wasteful. Its important to the generations that are coming up behind us that we leave a legacy, but big companies must lead by example. When i order small items, I continuously receive these in big boxes and lots of plastic packaging. This is completely unnecessary.

  • Say NO to passports being produced anywhere but the UK
    The main reason 1) security a passport is a critical document and should not be made outside the UK 2) if we loose the jobs then the supposed 124 million savings will be wiped out in lost tax, NI, and increased benefits 3) we should be protecting and supporting our industry not giving business to countries that Would not allow that to happen in their country. 4) we are leaving the EU so it's not in our interests to allow another company to have such a hold over our security. 5) Britain has fantastic companies doing great things and if we are to succeed we need to give them every help we can

  • Petition to remove filthy phone boxes from outside Hove Station cafe
    These two phone boxes are being used as toilets and are in an unsightly and smelly state. They are situated outside a pub and a cafe. The cafe staff have resorted to placing milk crates in the booths to deter further abuse of the phone boxes. There is a public pay phone 50 metres away in the station entrance.

  • Is Your Drinking Water Safe?
    In the USA, glyphosate from Roundup has been found in the water table many miles from where it was applied to the land. This is contrary to the claims of Monsanto who disregard any adverse evidence from independent scientists of the toxicity of Roundup . Following the decision of the EU to renew the license for RoundUp for a further five years it is essential that the water in our reservoirs is routinely analysed and accurate levels of glyphosate ascertained both before and after filtration for two reasons. Firstly to ensure that the filtration system is working efficiently should there be any glyphosate detected in the water source and secondly to have an on- going record of any levels of contamination from "run off" from agricultural land to which Roundup has been applied. At present the Water authorities make their own risk assessment as to whether to test for the levels of glyphosate and AMPA (the breakdown product) . Sadly South West Water , the most expensive provider in the UK, serving Cornwall, Devon, and parts of Somerset and Dorset are upholding their decision NOT to test for this widely used and noxious chemical. Non profit making, Welsh Water by comparison test routinely and accurately for glyphosate and AMPA levels and make the figures freely available. It took four months of investigation to get the answer "No" to the question "Do SWWater test for glyphosate in their water supply?" It is time for legislation to make testing mandatory, followed hopefully by deprivatisation of all water authorities and a return to public ownership.

  • Concert Ticket Pricing
    People are being ripped off by ticket touting companies such as Viagogo etc. In September I purchased tickets to see Elbow at Leeds Arena for my partner's 60th birthday gift, as a surprise! I could only find tickets on ticketing websites even though it was only a few day after they went on sale. I ended up paying £304 for 2 tickets with a total face value of £53.50 each! The presence of online ticket tout companies encourages the resale of tickets at vastly inflated prices, this is morally wrong . No doubt the companies involved will say its 'The Market' that determines prices for as we know business has no morals. So I propose to change the law to change the market in favour of reasonable charges and resale prices. Thanks for reading.

  • First Bus seat belts option
    Firstly it astonishes me that public transport providers can get over 80 people on a bus without providing a single seat belt for its passengers. Some buses will travel along the motorway at 50mph+ and will be at the same if not an increased risk of being involved in an RTC, do we not deserve the right to protect ourselves against injury in the event of a collision? How is it illegal for one person in a small car to not wear a seat belt yet these bus companies can cram over 80 people onto a double decker bus and then travel at 50mph down the motorway without providing a single seat belt. Think about our children and elderly that are more fragile than the rest of us, surely they deserve a little extra protection. Please sign this petition so we can force public transport providers to act responsibly and protect us wherever possible. After all we are relying on one person who we've never met before to drive correctly and make the right decisions on a very busy highways network.

  • Tell Amazon.co.uk To Reduce Fees For Charities
    Many UK charities rely on selling donated goods on Amazon.co.uk to raise vital funds. Amazon now take a 20+% cut of ALL charity revenue and make literally millions of pounds each year off the back of UK charities. This is money that needs to go to good causes and not to line the pockets of a US corporation! Amazon did charge a massive 15% commission but have recently increased this rate further. Tell Amazon this is just plain greedy and needs to stop now! eBay offer charities heavily discounted fees for selling on eBay.co.uk and we demand that Amazon follow eBay's lead in offering reduced selling fees for charities.

  • Swap Plastic for Paper Packaging
    We've all seen the disturbing photos in the media lately of our plastic waste littering the planet. About a year ago I decided to reduce my household waste. I started buying from vegetable stalls, selective items from supermarkets and I travelled to zero waste shops. It was tough to juggle with life and a family and when December hit, with two boys birthdays, parties and Christmas our house became swamped again. And then it dawned on me - I can't do this alone. I can't quietly go Plastic Free. I need to be noisy, I need to let others know what I'm trying to do here. I need to create change. But change is tricky especially when you try to do it all at once. And lots of people out there do not have the time to shop at lots of different stores. So I'm asking Tesco to make one change. To set them an achievable first step towards plastic free. (After all, Every Little Helps) I want Tesco to set an example by changing the way they package their rice and pasta to paper packaging because the current plastic packaging is well, plastic and worse still, non recyclable. I am trying to promote easy swaps that people can make to make their supermarket shop plastic free, however rice and pasta are one of the hardest areas to find alternatives. Thanks for signing and please share! The Plastic Free Mama @theplasticfreemama
