Bottle and Can Return PolicyThis is essential to remove all bottles and cans from the environment. It would mark the UK as a world leader in environmental protection, encouraging other countries to follow suit. Vulnerable ecosystems (e.g. 3rd world water supplies, the Pacific) would be protected.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurence Leader

plastic wrapping on chocolate barswe no longer want to buy products wrapped in plastic due to the impact plastic is having on our planet. Our oceans are full of plastic as are landfill sites. We want a healthy clean planet for our children & grandchildren. We want you to use biodegradable wrapping instead of plastic.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol Stapleton Pollitt

Plastic Toy Manufacturers Mattel to Make Spare Parts AvailablePlastic Toys come under 'non recyclable' by most (if not all) local council's refuse departments. There is nothing wrong with these tracks otherwise and as we all know plastic lasts forever. These Hotwheels tracks, together with countless other Mattel plastic toys around the world could be enjoyed by children for years to come. Instead there is no alternative but to send them to landfill. There is no need whatsoever for this. Other toy companies provide spare parts. Why wont Mattel?57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Potter

Change free plastic toys in takeaway meals to optional not automatically included.McDonald's have already made a fantastic move to reducing the plastic waste epidemic by replacing plastic straws with other environmentaly friendly alternatives. This would just again show the importance of reducing plastic going to landfill or polluting the land as so many of these toys are thrown away without even being opened. Those who want a toy can still have it at no cost and those that don't simply don't take it. Better on the environment and saves money for the companies too.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Stone

Stop MacDonald's Happy Meal BalloonsI'm campaigning for Mcdonalds to stop the unnecessary handout of Happy Meal Balloons in their restaurants. Balloons never break down completely, even the so-called “biodegradable” ones can take in excess of 6 months to start decomposing. The balloons can easily cause problems before this time, either on land or in the ocean. Multiple species are threatened as they can become entangled in them or swallow them if they are mistaken for food. Although some restaurants have swapped to biodegradable balloons, even these are still given out on plastic sticks which will inevitably break down into microplastics, posing further threats to marine species. With UK balloons having been found as far as Holland and the Orkneys, I think it's time for Macdonalds to make a greater change. Macdonalds, Is it worth the damage and the deaths for something nobody really needs?45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maya Buckley

BBC News - Give More Time and Attention to News on Climate ChangeThe lack of coverage means the UK public aren't finding out anything about climate change unless they know a lot about it already. The fact that the BBC, a respected insitution, are not educating and informing on such an important issue means that 1. many people assume there's nothing to be concerned about; 2. the lack of information prevents people being informed enough to do anything about the situation we're facing; 3. we aren't being introduced to the terms, the aspects, the character of climate change, which is what makes a story interesting and easy to follow. Instead terms like "El Nino" are often novel and unexplained and require looking up due to the scarcity of prior coverage. Climate change is the real story of our time in history. Realising how crucial it is, together with familiarity with the issues, makes following the developments interesting as well as uniting us in the face of the problem we need to tackle. While the BBC continues to limit coverage a majority of the public will continue to be uninformed and unfamiliar with the issues and therefore unengaged with what is required to stop or limit the damage.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Bridgeman

Remove coffee pods from saleCoffee pods are designed to fit Nespresso's coffee machines. They are energy intensive to manufacture, use large amounts of aluminium and plastic, and end up in landfill where they pollute our land and water. They are not easily recyclable nor compostable. Nespresso have basically taken a spoonful of ground coffee and over-packaged it to make a lot of money. Even the Chief Executive* resigned in 2016 because he knew it was an environmental disaster in the making. Lets put an end to corporate greed and profit at the expense of our precious planet. #reducewaste *https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-24/former-nespresso-boss-warns-coffee-pods-are-killing-environment/7781810 See also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35605927 Is there a serious problem with coffee capsules?38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vikki Rashid

McDonald’s: take responsibility for reuse/recycling of old happy meal toysMuch as I would like to live a perfect eco-friendly life, I have children, and with children come happy meal toys. Lots of them. They are (except for a select few) mostly ignored after the first hour. So what am I supposed to do with all these toys? Some are collectible and can be sold on eBay, but as a busy mum I don’t have time for that. Charities won’t accept them as donations. Most local authorities don’t take toys in their household plastic recycling. As an eco-conscious person, I try to avoid landfill, and I know McDonald’s are aiming for zero landfill too. So why aren’t they taking responsibility for all the happy meal toys and the tonnes of plastic waste that comes with it? I’ve tried to contact McDonald’s about it, and received poor answers that simply do not acknowledge the scale of the problem.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zoe McCormick
