  • 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.

  • Stop effluent being discharged by Water Companies
    With ever growing urbanisation the problem of water companies discharging untreated effluent can only get worse. They must be made to invest in new technologies but it has to come at government level. We need to send a clear message to Ofwat.

  • Plastic-free fruit and veg
    We are drowning in plastic. If we left the packaging at the till (which we are entitled to do) they would soon stop. They don't want a mountain of plastic to deal with. So why are we accepting it? Loose fruit and vegetables means a weekly shop without contributing to landfill and carbon emissions. It is a no-brainer. The supermarkets need to know how it is entirely unnecessary and unwanted to package fruit and vegetables.

  • Safety railings at Marine Drive crossing over New Chester Road Port Sunlight
    This issue is close to my heart as I live on the A41 near to the crossing and have seen the difficulties with this crossing for all the residents who live either side. The pavements are busy with cyclists using half and sometimes going at speed, which decreases the space required to keep at a safe distance away from the kerb at the crossing. Sometimes the rain collects beside the crossing and cars are driving through the puddles at speed, causing pedestrians to get soaked! It is hazardous and needs to be reviewed and improved as soon as possible before there is an accident. There is also an issue of the crossing not having an audible beeping sound when safe to cross, it takes a long time to cross safely and is wholly inadequate when compared to all other crossings on main roads and busy dual carriageways.

Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance and other scientific leaders will brief MPs on the Climate and Ecological Emergency in JUST OVER A WEEK, on Monday 11 July. This will be a version of the briefing Sir Patrick gave to Boris Johnson, which the PM described as his 'Road to Damascus moment' on the CEE. 29,000 of us, together with 79 eminent climate scientists and 29 leading clinicians, called for an urgent briefing, so that climate policy can be based on science not lobbying and misinformation. Sir Patrick will brief MPs on MONDAY 11 JULY, 3.30-5.00pm, just like he did during the worst of the Covid-19 crisis. Accompanying him will be Prof Gideon Henderson, the Chief Scientific Adviser for DEFRA; Prof Stephen Belcher, Met Office Chief Scientist; and Prof Emily Shuckburgh, Director of Cambridge Zero, the University of Cambridge’s major climate initiative. An amazingly eminent panel. I am asking if you can do one thing – take one minute to write to your MP and insist they attend. We can get hundreds and hundreds of our MPs to turn up at this vital briefing so that they are up to date with the latest science and can act to protect us, as we elected them to do.
