Make Norwich City FC a Zero Carbon ClubBusinesses must acknowledge and act on their responsibility to society to reduce carbon emissions. Not only is this a moral imperative, committing to environmental sustainability will result in global coverage for the club, reaching a new level of support among climate activists worldwide. Forest Green Rovers, owned by Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, are currently the only club in European football to have committed to EMAS - the gold standard for environmental performance. To achieve this the club have implemented measures such as: • Installing solar PV along stadium roofs, kicking out 45 kW capacity. • Converting to an organic pitch, partly irrigated by collected rain water, with no use of pesticides or manmade chemicals. • Introducing an e-ticket service to reduce paper use and need to travel to the ground to collect tickets. • Improving biodiversity by growing bee attracting plants. • Switching to low energy floodlighting • Taking red meat off menus and working to the principles of local, seasonal, fresh and organic food wherever possible (Meat based diets are acknowledged as one of the major contributors to global emissions, using up vast amounts of water, land and energy per kg of food produced in comparison to vegetarian and vegan diets.). Let's take our club to the Premier League of Environmental Sustainability by committing to EMAS and becoming a zero carbon club.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rowan Van Tromp

Fair wages for W H Smith postal clerksI don't see why these very hard working people - mostly women - should be on minimum wages. Also they are cutting down on staff so that there are only ever two postal clerks working in any of their sub post offices!! It is very cheap skate to cut down on the number of postal clerks - so these people have to work MUCH harder than they would were there four postal clerks working in each sub post office. and they are working this hard for MUCH LESS!!69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sara Weiss

Suncream SafetyOut of date suncream can have ether no effect or potentially can even have a damaging effect which can potentially mean people have a greater risk to skin cancer. Currently manufacturers are not required to put a use by date which means people may use until empty but this is very risky.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Needham

Vehicle Insurances for young peopleWe all now how important Human Rights are in the 21st century. We fight for the equal employment rights for women, we fight for the equality in regards to different races and cultures, however we sometimes forget to fight for ourselves. Yes, I am aiming this at you: young generation living in the United Kingdom. Car insurance companies in the UK are claiming that young drivers are a much higher risk to other road users, thus they deserve to pay premiums, which 90% of us can not pay. Did they test your driving skills? Do they know how well aware and careful you are when driving on the road? No! I believe this means that we - younger generation are being discriminated against based on our age, despite the fact that the majority of young drivers are much more careful on the road than perhaps the older generation. I, my self have been driving in this country for 5 years now - I am 23 years old, which means that I have 5 years of No Claim Bonus's. However, I still somehow end up paying over 3.000 pounds per year for my car insurance. And no - I do not drive a BMW or a Mercedes; it is a Toyota. The Government, despite knowing about the situation does not seem to be doing much about it, so I believe it is time for us to stand up and fight for our rights - just like the others do. We just simply want to drive! Just like the others. It is our right, given by the Government to be able to own and function a vehicle, and the only forces that stop us from doing so are the insurance companies.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zygimantas Adomavicius

No minimum wage, zero hour contracts for skilled photographers with expensive equipmentAs a skilled professional or student, minimum wage is completely out of line with market level and does not reflect the time required to learn the trade and the expensive equipment photographers must buy, maintain and replace regularly. Zero hours contracts are also exploitative and indicate that ad hoc work will be given. In this case the ethical choice would be to form a partnership with a local photographer/ several local photographers for these events or offer a competitive rate of pay as this would lead to the university paying a fair price for the service received .82 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Calum Connelly

Get international cricket back on terrestial televisonSky sports are ruining the beautiful game for the sake of money. Empty grounds, dwindling support and being limited to short highlights on terrestrial television is slowly undermining a great British tradition. We urge Helen Grant to step in and see to it that all sports of "National interests" be given to the masses and not just those who can afford to pay Sky Sports extortionate monthly charges.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Ibison-Steele

remove PLC status from companies who keep breaking the lawToo many companies commit fraud or theft, create pollution or corruption or sell produce based on lies. They get away with it constantly. Hiding behind a trick of the paperwork to never be held accountable as individuals because we treat companies themselves with the rights of an individual in court. This means, usually, a company can be punished for breaking the law but individuals cannot. THIS IS IMMORAL AND WRONG. Removing the Limited Liability from the company will force many of these corporates to think twice before putting profit before people41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Will Stockley

Revoke bank licences to operateClearly all the promises from senior management in banks that mistakes will not be repeated, that lessons have been learned, etc have been empty ones. How many more scandals must we endure? Why do we continue to reward failure among those that employ highly paid personnel by allowing them to continue to operate and fail again? Organisations breaching laws, such as those related to health & safety, can be closed down and directors held accountable: time for those who contravene legislation in the financial sector to face similar penalties.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by L Forbes
