To reduce food waste which reduces production, preparation, disposal, costs. It affects human welfare in this country and more.

Everyone is being encouraged to reduce single use plastics to help reduce their impact on the environment, yet a large proportion of Aldi’s products come in packaging marked ‘Not yet recycled’.

It would be the easiest way to make a positive change, will not hurt nor inconvenience us and will greatly reduce our plastic consumption. It will help us to wean ourselves off plastic towards a smarter, cleaner way to live.

We need to greatly reduce plastic consumption. It can be easily replaced by a cotton cover that people can buy and reuse.

We are throwing billions of tons of plastic away to be recycled a year. And we now know that none of it is being recycled as we thought and there are unsightly plastic mountains in other countries that is our waste. It is shameful.....

The planets great forests are the lungs of the world. They provide us with oxygen and they lock up carbon stopping its escape into the atmosphere. Not only that but the species that live there are being devastated. If we all gave up the many things that contain palm oil the producers would not be able to sell it and it would be pointless growing it. Please, please help the planet and give it up!!

I am increasingly concerned for all generations of my family and our community. The prospect of devastation and social upheaval as a result of climate change appals me especially as those I love will be affected most. Projections of sea level change significantly effect Cardiff, my hometown and other coastal cities in the UK, More extreme weather events from heavier rainfall, longer droughts, increased wind speeds and higher temperatures throughout the UK make for an uncertain future. The frustration felt by myself and many others about our future demands urgent political action. A determined and coherent plan about such an issue would ultimately unite our community. The UK brought the world the industrial revolution, the industrial use of hydrocarbons with all the ensuing advances for society. We owe it to all to use our ingenuity and to give the world a lead on a sustainable green future before it is to late..

Tests can be made by placing a wet wipe in a plastic bottle of water ... and waiting to see the result. One of Britains's largest supermarket's own brand wipes do NOT biodegrade. Another's start to biodegrade after a very long period of time. One of the smaller supermarket's wipes begin to biodegrade within hours. This inconsistency results in millions of wipes ending up up in our oceans and on our beaches.

The lost of the Bolivian rain-forest not only affects Bolivia but the world. As a native Bolivian this is immensely important not only to me, my family here in the UK and in Bolivia, but also to the Bolivian community in this country It is upsetting to us to see that Governments and the press only talk about Brazil, and not about the Bolivian reinforest

Single use plastic is terrible for the environment and causes much of the pollution in our community and beyond. We would like to see local businesses using plastic free alternatives as much as possible

Only recently a climate emergency was called in parliament. Now come reports that Boris Johnson is preparing to cut fuel duty https://www.itv.com/news/2019-08-25/boris-johnson-preparing-to-cut-fuel-duty/ enabling greater production of climate changing CO2 and air pollution. If anything, fuel duty should be increasing. There are other ways to stimulate business and support families that don't encourage activities that endanger our environmental future. Thank you.

At this moment, there are devastating wildfires ravaging the Brazilian rainforest. The blame for this is laid quite squarely at the feet of President Jair Bolsonaro, who, through his rhetoric, has given farmers free reign to clear large parts of the forest for pasture. President Bolsonaro is trying to place the blame on NGO's while failing to impose the laws that are made to protect the forest. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, wants this world emergency to take centre stage at the coming 45th G7 summit which starts tomorrow, the 24th of August, and continues until the 26th. He has described the situation as 'our house is burning. At the same time we have a president of the USA, who has clearly shown that he has little regard for ecological matters. The new prime minister of the UK, Boris Johnson will be at the summit and it is of the utmost importance that the UK, as it readies itself for Brexit, shows that it will continue to be a force dedicated to the good of the planet.
