This is a famous British land mark, referred to by Vera Lynn (known as "The Forces' Sweetheart") in her 1942 wartime classic 'There'll Be Bluebirds Over The White Cliffs of Dover' which should be saved. This area is also: * A Special Area of Conservation (SAC), * A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is * An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Because bee populations are declining as it is and we are now going to be using neonic sprays again, which will kill more bees.

This is important for the joy and awareness and knowledge he has given to every family for decades.

Our seas and oceans and the wildlife that rely on them, are all at risk. Micro plastics are causing devastating effects. Killing bird life, fish and turtles to mention just a few.

Creating new coal mines is a national and global issue, not purely a local one. It is contrary to the UK’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and the coal from it will contribute to global emissions that accelerate climate change. Currently local authorities can approve such mines without consideration of national goals or international impacts or responsibilities. This is wrong and such power should be removed and rest with the national government.

The pesticides that contain thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid, were banned throughout the EU two years ago and backed by the UK government at the time. The current government explicitly pledged to keep the restrictions in place once we had left the EU. Michael Gove has previously stated that “The weight of evidence now shows the risks neonicotinoids pose to our environment, particularly to the bees and other pollinators which play such a key part in our £100bn food industry, is greater than previously understood … We cannot afford to put our pollinator populations at risk.” He also wrote in the Guardian: “Unless the evidence base changes again, the government will keep these restrictions in place after we have left the EU.” Government pesticide advisers said it would “cause unacceptable effects to bees in flowering crops and flowering plants in field margins” and added that it would harm “birds and mammals eating seedlings from treated seed and birds consuming pelleted seed” and risked “adversely impacting populations of aquatic insects”. And Defra have stated that “Protecting pollinators is a priority for this government.” Given all this, we must fight to save our bees and other wildlife as well as our environment.

People with mobility scooters and pushchairs cannot gain access to the rec, it is an eyesore. No one recieved notice this was going to happen. It is far to big

Every morning, more and more parents have to fight for little space to park, our communities are too small to have almost every parent driving to school. If you can't find parking the kids will be late but most importantly, how much more emissions are we releasing into the atmosphere? I believe if only a few parents drive to school, and also because they have to go to work afterwards, I know it might to reduce emissions massively but that's a start. You will have a healthy society because more people are walking atleast Monday to Friday!

Animal agriculture is significantly damaging to the environment, and to public health. It is hugely wasteful - and in modern society it is completely unnecessary. Rain-forest clearance is happening mostly due to the demand for land to produce arable crops which are used solely for animal feeds, and for grazing pasture. Greenhouse gas emissions from animal farming are greater than the entire global transportation sector. Around thirty per cent of the microplastics which foul our oceans have originated from discarded commercial fishing equipment. Without animal agriculture, and its harmful practices and products, there would be no zoonotic pandemics, no rivers poisoned by slurry, no rain-forest burning, no anti-biotic resistance, a reduction in heart disease and obesity, a greater abundance of natural wilderness, more bio-diversity, etc. The "sugar tax" has been successful in reducing the demand for harmful products. A meat and dairy tax could be equally successful - and is arguably far more important.

We are at a unique stage in our history. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us" - David Attenborough Why do we need this bill? We are facing an unprecedented climate crisis and the UK government simply isn’t doing enough. This is an emergency, the next 10 years are critical to keeping global temperatures at a safe level, and we want the government to take immediate and appropriate action. The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill has been written by scientists, lawyers and activists; it has been proposed in parliament by Caroline Lucas MP and is gathering support from a broad range of campaign groups, businesses, charities and individuals. The key points contained in the bill are: 1. Ensure the UK reduces greenhouse gas emissions in line with its legal obligations to limit global heating to 1.5°C 2. Protect and restore woodlands, wetlands and the wider natural world 3. Set up an assembly to involve people from all parts of the UK to develop a strategy to deal with the climate emergency. We need the support of as many MPs as possible from all political parties. Please sign this petition asking Sarah Dines MP to support and vote for the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill when it returns to the House of Commons on 12th March 2021.

The use of these boats not only damages the fishing stock but also cause further pressure on our fragile environment.

Post Covid many companies are deciding the office is no longer a full time location for staff, yet Manchester City Council have a city-wide plan for more offices. Manchester still has illegal levels of pollution and during the pandemic it was clear, to those living in the centre, that there was no where to relax. Manchester city council declared a climate emergency. Since then they have removed the cycle paths from Great Ancoats Street, approved planning for a huge car park next to a primary school and have recommended plans to replace New Islington Green, a well-used strip of green space, with offices'. Please show us plans to tackle the climate emergency in a post COVID world. Manchester is supposed to be a city that does things differently, as people who live, work and visit Manchester we want the council's planning to reflect that.
