• King Charles should go to COP27!
    Our country would be both discourteous and give the impression of a downgrading of our commitment to action on this, the greatest challenge ever to confront the human race, if he is hindered from participation. In contrast, a strong groundswell of support for the King's attendance would send a message to the Conference and to our leaders here in the UK.

  • Pavements for pedestrians
    Parents walking kids to junior school are often having to wheel a buggy with a younger child on board and keep control of school aged kids. The narrowed pavements slow the process down and in wet weather leads to everyone getting wet from contact with the overgrown bushes, largely privet.

  • Sign the petition: tell the Government to rethink its solar ban plans
    Ministers are planning to ban solar farms from most of England’s farmland. The new Environment secretary wants to stop panels being built on large amounts of farmers fields. Currently solar panels are allowed to be built on farmland that are rated a 3b level - where the land is designated as middling to low quality. Right now most solar farms are built or planned for this type of land, so if these plans go ahead it would block most new developments of this green energy source. At a time when we're facing energy crisis, and even the threat of energy blackouts this winter, it's unbelievable that the Government is considering plans that would make it harder for us to expand our energy supply. The Government must rethink this ban on solar.

  • Encourage and support King Charles to attend COP27 in Egypt
    If we can get a few million supporting this petition it would encourage the decision maker and the team around him in the Palace to make a case for the Government to reconsider their ban on him going to COP27. We want the UK to be fully engaged in working for net zero by 2050

  • Liz Truss must allow King Charles III to attend Cop 27
    To future proof the planet to sustain the lives of future generations, and literally not leave our descendants with a scorched earth. What use is financial security when we have destroyed the earth's resources.

  • STOP AIRPORT EXPANSION: REWRITE THE GOVERNMENT’S DISASTROUS NEW AVIATION STRATEGY
    The Government has introduced a long-term plan which is supposed to stop the aviation industry damaging our environment. In reality, it does the opposite. The strategy allows airports to keep expanding - helping frequent flyers to fly even more and increasing noise pollution in our local communities. Not to mention the damage more flights will do to our precious planet. This isn’t about stopping families going on well-deserved holidays. There is plenty of capacity for that at our existing airports! It’s about preventing unnecessary airport expansion for the benefit of the tiny number of frequent flyers responsible for most of our environment-damaging flights. Even the Government’s own environmental experts think the plan is bad - they’ve said there can be no airport expansion if we’re to hit our crucial environmental targets! In fact, the Government has just been ordered by the courts to rewrite it’s big climate plan because it wasn’t clear or ambitious enough. The ‘Jet Zero’ strategy is part of that plan and is just as shambolic - for example, relying on unproven tech like carbon capture and hydrogen planes. It needs to be rewritten to include things like frequent flyer levies to reduce demand. That’s why we are calling on the Government to rewrite its Jet Zero Strategy - and stop all airport expansion now.

  • Sewage Fiasco Kent Coast
    Sewage in the Seawater does not belong to a modern society. Keep our oceans clean please. Southern Water has repeatedly released their sewage into the Kent Coast giving false reasons like torrential rain fall last August during a drought period. Where does all the money go from our high water bills ? Please reinvest in modern sewage plants and stop behaving like a third world country!

  • NO FRACKING IN THE UK- Anti-fracking campaign
    Hydraulic fracturing is harmful to the climate ________________________________________________ If natural gas from fracking was not so long ago considered as a bridge from dirty coal to more climate friendly solutions. Indeed, fracking has been proved to be linked to important leaks of methane – a 23 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. FRACKING Contaminates soils, air and water We depend on clean soils in many ways. Feeding ourselves is but one. Clean air is even simpler to comprehend as we breathe the air around us. So if hydraulic fracturing pollutes both soils and air, how can we eat food grown on this land? It Is NOT part of the vital energy transition. Fracking is just polluting and inefficient means of heating our houses and moving our cars and trucks when better solutions are at our disposal. Far better solutions like low carbon energy sources such as renewables (solar, wind, geothermal…) and energy efficiency can be part of an energy transition that is safe for our civilization and our climate. An energy transition based on these two could bring thousands of local jobs and money without any risks. As a matter of facts, it has already started… Fracking consumes vast amounts of precious water ___________________________________________________________________________________ Water as more and more countries are getting drier, using energy sources that consumes vast amounts of water is just sheer madness. The UK is currently facing drought conditions and this is set to continue to get worse in years to come. Climate Progress reported that each fracking job requires several million gallons of water, of which only around a quarter is being recovered. Shale gas drilling has been linked in many occasions to FLAMMABLE drinking water. The Economist published an article on it. Injecting in our environment a cocktail of water, sand and no less than hundreds of chemicals that can cause cancers or are neurotoxins. Not the kind of stuff you want anywhere near you… 5. Causes earthquakes In Ohio Drilling holes in the soil and injecting massive amounts of chemicals and wastewater created earthquakes. A recent study from one of the world’s leading seismology labs quoted by Reuters show that ” powerful earthquakes thousands of miles (km) away can trigger swarms of minor quakes near wastewater-injection wells like those used in oil and gas recovery “ The US Geological Survey (USGS) linked up to 50 earthquakes to fracking in Oklahoma. Magnitudes were ranging from 1.0 to 4.0. Puts arsenic in groundwater tables Arsenic is a poison of choice if you want to dispose of an Emperor or a King. Most unfortunately to people near fracking wells, it also has been found in groundwater near fracking wells. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found traces of it on multiple occasions as the Los Angeles Times and ProPublica both reported. Doesn’t benefit We, the People. Because of all the negative side effects, the People can lose a lot because of fracking. The ones who benefit from it really are only the companies conducting it. Rural communities can be revived thanks to wind power’s money. Please sign to keep Fracking off the table for good, and maintain the ban on use in the UK.

  • Climate control
    Climate control is one of the most important issues around today. Humans need to act by using more sustainable energy and recycling better! Is it fair for your children to live in a polluted earth just because of the impact we have made to the environment? We need all the help we can get to spread this issue to as many people as possible! Thank you for your time.
