The Climate Change Act (2008) was passed after 412 MPs supported an Early Day Motion in 2005. This was a ground-breaking bill, but the climate and ecological emergency has been getting steadily worse. In May 2019 the Act was amended with enhanced targets, but there is still a long way to go. The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill--the CEE Bill—would bring together a representative cross-section of British people in a Citizens’ Assembly. They would listen to experts, have thorough discussions, and report with realistic plans to limit climate change, biodiversity loss, and the injustices they cause in the world. These plans would be taken up by government. The Bill has been supported by nearly 100 MPs so far, and was due for a second reading on 26th March 2021, but is likely to be delayed after the Government suspended Friday sittings. Please join the campaign to get this law onto our statute books and to help protect life on our beautiful planet. ► Find out more at https://www.ceebill.uk/resources ► Join the Twitter storm on 26th February, the day when the second reading was previously due in Parliament

The threat from climate change and the human impact of humans on the environment is daunting. Much like the foundation of the NHS was based on the mutual aid societies set up by ordinary people, we need to support the organisation of local grassroots initiatives to save the planet, rather than just waiting for legislation and international agreements

The increase not over lockdown but THIS YEAR alone has blown, it occurs at LEAST 1/2 times a week at the moment. We need to not only support those struggling but try and prevent it as much as we possibly can.

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.
