• Add animal repellent to antifreeze and coolant
    I have lost two cats to antifreeze poisoning in a space of three months. The violent reaction they both had to the chemical was horrific. Both lost their vision and went into shock causing them to suffer aggressive seizures. Antifreeze causes blindness. Within minutes all vital organs begin to shut down. This causes the most unimaginable suffering. The only humane option is to euthanise should an animal ingest antifreeze/coolant. Please petition the relevant bodies so this needless suffering can be averted.

  • Ask Starbucks UK TO recycle their daily waste
    For obvious environmental reasons. Their daily usage of waste across the UK from their 549 nationwide stores is consuming landfills at an astronomical rate.

  • PADDOCK HOUSE
    Paddock House is a derelict care home in the centre of the beautiful market town of Eye. It is on the site of a historic public green space. We demand that there is due public consultation and discussion before any commercial development is considered. There is huge potential to restore and upgrade the existing buildings to provide essential housing and amenities for our town.

  • Remove Markyate Traffic Lights on A5183
    This junction has over many years been the scene of multiple accidents. One fatal. Over the last three years residents have written continually to our MP Mike Penning, County Councillors David Lloyd and now Terry Douris. On every occasion there have been promises of reviews yet nothing has yet been done. On a recent occasion where the lights were switched off for over a week there were no accidents, no build up of traffic on either Luton Road or the High Street, bringing with it significant improvements in air quality at peak times.

  • Reduce risk for cyclists at Murdishaw A533 roundabout.
    I have personally been knocked off my bike on this roundabout. I feel lucky to be alive. The police could not find the person who did this and the council say they are not willing to put any control measures in place. (because the layout is due to change in 2 years) More recently a good friend got knocked off her bike at the same location. We have since found out several other cyclists have fell victim to hit and run drivers at this same spot. Soon enough a life will be taken. I feel my suggested control measures are easily done. Personally I would like cameras to be added and speed bumps however I want to be realistic. Halton try to promote cycling which is really good for our environment however I feel in this case they have not done enough to put some preventative measures in place.

  • Milk - Plastic OUT Glass IN
    Because there is so much plastic used in the distribution of milk that it is now playing a part in killing marine life/damaging the environmenmt. Of all plastic used it is not the biggest slice of the plastic usage pie, but if we could take one kind of plastic container at a time and replace it with something more agreeable to the environment then we would be one step closer to changing our ways and our minds. We also have had a much better system in the past (glass bottles) so there is a known way of making a substitution. There are also novel new ways of creating containers from all manner of organic materials. Basically it is something relatively do-able that could lead on to a string of do-able container changing projects quite easily. So let's start with getting rid of plastic milk bottles. NOW!! (The picture above is: Ari Jónsson exhibited his biodegradable bottle at a design festival in Reykjavik earlier this month. Recently he came up with a way to create a completely biodegradable water bottle using red algae powder.)

  • Save local greengrocers & butchers
    Supermarkets are creating an extremely large amount of food waste due to over buying, they force unfair conditions upon farmers/growers and care nothing for small traditional family run grocers / butchers. If something is not controlled now - the uk will loose its traditional stores within a few years.

  • GMB - Stop Supporting Fracking
    Fracking has been proved to be destructive to the environment and to peoples health. Instead of promoting the use of this filthy and dangerous process ,the GMB should be campaigning to further increase the use of renewable energy sources which will result in the creation of many jobs, including for their own membership. The 21st Century demands a proper response to the issue of rampant climate change and this response would be enhanced with the support of all of the major trades unions.

  • Withdraw Waitrose/Duchy land from the pointless and cruel Badger Cull
    There is NO evidence that culling badgers makes any meaningful contribution to reducing the levels of bovine TB in cattle. The Randomised Badger Culling Trial, an 8-year, £50 million study during which 11,000 badgers were killed, produced no evidence of benefit. It found that only 1.67% of those 11,000 badgers had communicable bovine TB. The real culprits are not badgers but an outdated and inaccurate testing regime (missing 20-50% of all cases in cattle), poor biosecurity on farms, and millions of movements of cattle around the country. This year, DEFRA wants to see 33,000 badgers killed and Waitrose/Duchy have agreed to culling on their land in the west country. Two-thirds of the public are against badger culling and, as customers of Waitrose and John Lewis PLC, we call on the company to respect the science and to honour the views and feelings of their customers.

  • Plastic Packaging for Bananas Should NOT be a Thing!
    Over eight million tonnes of plastic enter oceans every year, with 80% coming from land. Bananas DO NOT need packaging, they have skins. It's making me go bananas.

  • The Danger of Sky Lanterns. Ban the Lightsfest
    Sky Lanterns are proven hazards to livestock, wildlife, equines, pets and the environment. There should NOT be a festival dedicrated to their use. They are pretty but deadly!
