Many pesticides used in towns have been linked to serious illnesses like cancers and birth defects. Children are particularly vulnerable. Hundreds of towns around the world have already gone pesticide-free It’s time that Cornwall took the initiative and did the same. We need to protect our children from the harmful effects of pesticides. The French government have brought in a law to stop the use of all non-agricultural pesticides by 2020 - so it is possible. If Cornwall were to stop their use it would help protect our children and provide wider social and environmental benefits to all the citizens of this great county.

To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

They used to have them all over London from what I understand which must have been so useful and now they seem to have almost all vanished. This is important to me as a surfer I often find myself surfing next to plastic water bottle waste which causes massive destruction to the marine life and of course uses up precious finite resources. Watching this video on the journey of a plastic spoon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg-E1FtjaxY) also highlighted to me the absurdity of using a one use plastic water bottle.

Butter is a product of milk. The more butter that is used will help the UK dairy farmers. Palm Oil is imported and using that oil does not help the UK balance of payments. It could also help reduce the loss of tropical rain forest.

The commitment to purchase electricity from a future Hinckley C is eye-wateringly expensive. By contrast, the cost now for continuing our support for renewable energy is a tiny fraction of that amount. Britain's national interest is being sacrificed on the altar of Chinese-invested-and-profited but UK-taxpayer-funded nuclear power. We should take the opportunity to invest in renewable energy now, while borrowing costs are low.

Southwark Council has a new policy about tree planting: that no trees are to be planted on pavements less than 2.1m wide, excluding the kerb. That is, as you'll see if you take your tape measure outside, a pretty wide pavement; most of our residential streets are narrower. Many of those streets already have trees on them. These trees are beloved parts of the neighbourhood: they freshen the environment, add beauty through the seasons, and make London feel a better place for people to live and thrive. The trouble is, Southwark's policy means that if any of these much-loved trees get damaged, vandalised or diseased, the Council is now simply cutting them down, rooting them out and paving over where they used to be, leaving behind a sadder, duller street. It's one thing to say that you won't plant new trees - though many of us would be happy to see more trees even in narrow streets - but quite another to say you won't replace old ones that were seen as a popular adornment, not a nuisance, by the people who actually lived in the area. We love these trees, and when they die, we mourn them. Refusing to replace them doesn't make the neighbourhoods more convenient: it impoverishes them, and probably decreases the value of our property as well. Southwark Council, we are asking you to do the right thing for people and for nature and change your policy so that trees that meet with misfortunes can be replaced even if they were growing in the smaller streets. We, the people who live in these streets, want the trees. Please hear us.

Scientists working for ExxonMobil had suspicions about the existence of climate change in the 1970s, and by the early 1980s they had conducted research projects, validated their theories and concluded that man-made climate change was real and would raise global temperatures by between two to three degrees. Evidence suggests that ExxonMobil continued to fund the work of climate sceptics as late as 2009, and possibly beyond, which is after the date that the Rome Statute entered into force. Rather than alert the world to these facts, Exxon Mobil used this knowledge to increase their profits, whilst also setting up and funding various organisations to deny the existence of climate change. Exxon Mobil's policy of aggressive climate change denial has caused irreversible damage to the environment. As the mandate of the International Criminal Court is to try individuals rather than corporations, we ask the ICC to charge all individuals at ExxonMobil who conspired to cover up the existence of climate change with crimes against humanity. We believe that ExxonMobil's actions constitute an inhumane act which has intentionally caused great suffering. We want the ICC to take this action both in order to hold ExxonMobil to account for their actions, and to prevent other corporations from taking similar actions in the future. It needs to be established that large scale destruction or pollution of the environment, whether intentional or through negligence, will constitute a crime against humanity, and that individuals responsible for such crimes will be pursued by the ICC.

We depend on the oceans for our survival. Oceans create oxygen. 90% of our fish stocks have disappeared through overfishing. If we lose the fish, we lose whales. If we lost whales, we lost plankton. If we lost plankton, we lose oxygen. Everything is connected. Tesco uses trawler nets to catch its fish, which kill other sea creatures like turtles and sharks unnecessarily.

With the vast amount of people and business that goes on in London, ensuring the minimum amount of waste ends up in landfill should be a top priority! Making it easy for residents and businesses to recycle something as basic as plastic is a fundamental part of that. If other councils like Greenwich can recycle a large range of mixed recycling why can't Westminster?

If we don't fight for our voice on this it will be another 40 years before it can be spoke of again. We need to ask ourselves, do we want to pay for a weapon, at huge expense, that ensures we can burn the flesh off the children of our enemies after were dead, or should we purchase ballistic missile defence at a far lesser cost to ensure a chance of survival and thus we avoid becomming mass murderes by default. It's time someone showed the world a better way.

Sign this petition to protect the air we all need to breathe, pollution is on the rise and so are deaths caused by poor air quality, trees clean the air for us, we should respect them and protect them. Other organisations are supporting this cause such as the Woodland Trust, WWF and RSPB. I hope you can support this campaign, as I am not doing it just for me or my family, my town or charity but for everyone.

For the last week or so, my family and I have been living in a cloud of chemical fumes so obnoxious that it's affecting our life considerably. We live in rural East Lothian and the air pollution has been caused by the use of a human waste based fertiliser which is being spread on local farmland. Five days on from the start of the spreading of this treated human waste on fields around our house, my family and I are still enduring the most vile stench, the fumes are making us feel light-headed and nauseous, and despite keeping all of our doors and windows closed, the odour pervades our house. We have found out that the resource management company, Veolia, is responsible for the production and spreading of this product, known as Thermal Hydrolysis Cake (THC). THC is basically human waste (and anything else which goes down a drain, including industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals) which has been processed to make it "suitable" for use as an agricultural fertiliser. However, although the processing destroys the majority of the pathogens in the waste, it still contains potentially environmentally damaging contaminants. Whilst it is currently legal to use THC in Scotland, the use of THC or other fertilisers originating from sewage sludge cannot legally be applied without strict testing due to the potential toxicity from the presence of heavy metals. There is also some evidence to show that the thermal hydrolysis process does not destroy prions ( excreted by victims of CJD ), radioactive material ( excreted by patients treated with nuclear medicines ) and a whole host of other toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals which enter the sewage system on a periodic and unpredictable basis and are then concentrated in the process of water extraction to form sewage sludge, which is further concentrated to make the THC. As well as the vile smell, it is unknown what the effects on humans are of short term inhalation of the THC particles during and after spreading. It is also unknown what effects the water run off from the treated fields will have on the ecosystem in the long term. If the aim is to add organic matter to the soil in as sustainable a manner as possible, there are many, many alternative products that can be used as an alternative to THC. East Lothian is one of the most beautiful counties in the country and has a precious and sensitive ecosystem. The most valuable resources we have are our healthy soil, pure air and clean waterways. We therefore ask Estelle Brachlianoff and Veolia UK to immediately cease the use of THC or any other product originating from sewage sludge as fertiliser in East Lothian.
