Minimum Pricing on CottonWe engage ourselves with this invisible world, and it's up to us to ethically make right choices. We need to think about the people who have to make this cotton, and the environments where they are made.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark C

Litter Pick Grass Verges First Before Cutting ThemMowing grass before litter picking creates a whole host of problems for the environment and us, One single piece of litter cut into minute pieces, often dangerous as in shards of aluminum, glass, plastic. Affecting wildlife habitat, infants play areas, parks, dog walking areas etc who all are vulnerable to injury by this senseless act. These pieces are often washed into storm drains where they are carried out to sea to return to our beaches as micro plastics etc, eaten by fish then by us, polluting everywhere as they go. Litter is a big enough problem without accelerating it. Visually it’s an eyesore to the street scene. Should the grass be cut as often with nature’s pollen collectors struggling to exist, they need all the help we can give them. So it makes sence to me cut grass less and before doing so clear the area of litter, it’s not rocket science373 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Eric Brown

Say NO to Stobart's and Six/56WBC's planning department together with Stobart's, Langtree and Panattoni (all multi-national property and logistics companies) are determined to forever destroy 346,000m sq of South Warrington's Green Belt land. That's equivalent to 54 Wembleys. It will mean easily 2000 additional vehicular movements PER HOUR 365/24/7 on our already overloaded roads, junctions and surrounding motorways. Air pollution in Warrington is one of the worst in the UK. It is THE worst for the most dangerous small particulates (PM2.5) in the whole of the UK (World Health Organisation Air Quality Database, 2018). This is a legacy that we MUST NOT PASS ON to our children and future generations. RSWF will use this petition to hand over when each application comes before the DMC. Please sign this petition to make your objection clear and share widely. Thank you.2,241 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Rethinking South Warrington's Future RSWF

Stop oil exploration in Cardigan Bay Marine SACCardigan bay Marine SAC is an important breeding and feeding area for bottle nose dolphins and harbour porpoises. An environmental impact assessment carried out by London based Orbis Energy has admitted that the proposed seismic activity would have detrimental consequences affecting all forms of wildlife including shellfish, marine mammals and seabirds as well as fish spawning grounds. Previous extensive seismic surveys have been conducted and have revealed no commercial quantities of hydrocarbons within the area and do not need to be repeated. If however there were any viable reserves discovered the extraction of such would cause irreparable damage to this sensitive marine area and the life it supports whilst making a mockery of the designation of a marine SAC. Equally at a time when Wales has declared a climate emergency to proceed with the extraction of more fossil fuels is sheer madness. If you have ever been fortunate enough to witness the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay you will understand the importance of protecting their precious habitat for future generations, if not I sincerely hope that you will be able to one day! Please sign and share this petition to ensure we can take it to the UK Government and overturn this reckless decision.7,547 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Steve Parkin

Stop Throwaway TentsAn estimated 250,000 tents are abandoned in the UK each summer, most of these at festivals. These tents are rarely reused and the materials they are made from are generally not recyclable, thus the great majority end up in landfill. At a time when we are facing an existential environmental crisis, when we are experiencing the earths sixth extinction event with around 5000 species disappearing each year. When the sea, air and earth is being increasingly poisoned through man made contaminants, and the population is growing to the extent that there are 225,000 extra people to support each day, we have to rapidly adapt to the situation and reduce our impact on the planet. If we want to save our civilisation and our beautiful planet then we have to stop using single use products. NOW!108 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Danny Ardeshir

Stop the throwaway culture of 'festival tents'More than 250,000 tents get left behind at UK festivals every year including Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds. The average tent is mostly made of plastic - which is equivalent to 8,750 straws or 250 pint cups. But some of the UK's biggest sports and leisure retailers are still advertising tents as 'festival tents,' which gives the impression that you only need to use them once. There is a myth that tents left behind when people leave the festival are collected and handed to charities. The reality is that the huge majority don't and will ultimately end up in landfill. With more and more festivals pledging to go plastic free and climate crisis on more and more people's minds, urgent action needs to be taken, with the help of the UK's biggest retailers.112,368 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Watts

Amazon - please stop using plastic bubble wrap envelopesWe are all becoming more aware of the devastating impact of single use plastic. The increasing (or any) use of this for posting Amazon products has a massive impact given how many parcels they send on a daily basis. This seems to be a huge step backwards at a time when we need to focus on finding sustainable ways to move forward.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Wheeler

Stop the St Philip's Marsh Gas PlantThe gas plant is 90 m from a school in an area which already has dangerous levels of air pollution. Bristol Council passed a climate emergency motion in November 2018 and has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030. By approving a power generation plant that burns fossil fuels the council is complicit with corporations that are driving the climate crisis. UK Parliament declared climate emergency on May 1st 2019.1,326 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by LILY LEE

Zero Emission 100% Electric CarsFact: The gas fueled, internal combustion cars typically driven by Europeans have deteriorated our environment. Think About It: Global warming can be halted with the zero emission 100% Electric Vehicles (EVs) that are made with NiMH batteries whose use is currently being suppressed by Chevron Oil Corporation. Fact: GM has been given $50Billion worth of our tax payer bail out money. Think About It: In 1996, GM had the car of the century, the EV1. The EV1 ran due to the NiMH battery patents acquired by Chevron Oil Corporation. GM crushed ALL OF THEIR CARS shortly thereafter. Why are our tax dollars paying to bail out our automotive industry when our same tax dollars paid for the invention of the NiMH batteries? Fact: In 2005 alone Chevron grossed over $125 Billion (Up 35% from 2004). Think About It: “?” Think About It: The NiMH battery technology is proven with the past ten years of high performance of Toyota RAV 4 EVs made with NiMH batteries. Why waste more of our tax dollar money on technology we already have? Wouldn’t that money be better spent on our ailing health care system? Think About It: The government has exercised Eminent Domain and /or Compulsory Licensing during much less desperate times and for purposes serving much less of the greater good. Yes, it comes at a price, but the amount paid to Chevron would be much less than ongoing cost of Reign of Big Oil. Think About It: What was this war all about? Why are our soldiers dying to preserve Iraqi Oil Fields when we have the battery patents to an emission free, alternative energy technology RIGHT NOW!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Digriz Digriz

inflight carbon-offset announcementsThis is of existential importance because we are experiencing a climate crisis, to which airlines contribute on a massive scale. Countless people who fly are unaware of offset programs. This is one small way of fighting global warming, which can be instituted immediately, without cost to airlines.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dennis Wardleworth

Stop selling faux/artificial plastic plantsThere seems to be a fashion now for fake plants, particularly succulents at the moment and unfortunatley these are made of plastic. In this time of climate crisis and when we are drowning in the sea of plastic already on this planet, why on earth are retail outlets including many of the major supermarkets, making/selling more, for something so frivolous and when plants can so easily be grown, maintained and seeds bought cheaply. Not to mention how real house plants improve our oxygen, health and wellbeing. Let's stop this insanity now.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jemma Thompson
