Energy costs during the pandemicThe energy companies already make vast profits, this had been massively inflated during the initial lockdown period and continues to do so whine people are working from home. Other sectors are struggling and the government have put together a number of packages to assist businesses yet the energy companies are still raking the money in while people are in distress.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Dobson

Paperless Offices45% of office printouts end up in the trash every day! The Environmental Paper Network reports that over the past 50 years, there’s been a four-fold increase in global consumption of paper. Despite the fact, that we live in the era of digitization and have all the tools we need to make paperless offices a real thing, our love affair with paper has continued and there is no sign that this madness will end soon. But it should end now, because that's what the people want: 89% of Gen Zers said they are concerned about the planet’s health, and of this, 94% were of the view that businesses should help address urgent issues. And they are right! Climate change isn't only caused by diesel engines and coal-fired power plants. It's a challenge we all have to face together, both the industry and the people. In 2020, the year COVID-19 forced us to install digital workplaces across the globe, which are here to stay! In fact, BCG’s recent Workplace of the Future employer survey found that companies expect about 40% of their employees to follow a remote-working model in the future. That being said, it is an ideal time to rethink how many unnecessary copies of documents, customer orders, approval forms, and emails are printed each day. Vote for our environment, vote for the trees, and vote for paperless offices now!

Call time on the greedy MPs who voted against free school meals!Children should never be left to go hungry. 4.5 million kids in the UK are living below the breadline, while MPs - having given themselves a pay-rise in March this year - are claiming back meal expenses and even having subsidised drinks in the parliament bar! The Mill Pub in Yorkshire has set the standard - these MPs think they can snatch meals from our kids, well, let's see how they like it when they're banned from every pub in the country!!! It's time for the biggest pub chains in the country to step up and show who's side they're on. If enough of us sign today then we can show these greedy MPs that they can't get away with starving our kids.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danny McFoot

Mark all Scottish properties where Slavery compensation was paid to residents with a plaqueIt is important that we recognise the importance of Scotland in the slave trade and in particular how the most sought after areas of our cities owe their elegance to the abject ugliness of that trade.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Falconer

Link Ministers and MP’s Salary increases to rises in the minimum wagePrevious government has secured a "get out" committee for the setting of their wages that ignores the state of the economy that their Government Ministers and MPs are ultimately responsible for. This has led to MPs salaries way above inflation while they vote against wage increases for others for reasons of affordability. Linking pay in this way is a simple way to use performance related pay to remunerate our leaders. It would hopefully help to bring back some fairness and trust to politics.70 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neil Dixon

Letter to MP Geoffrey Cox to reconsider his vote toDear Mr Cox, Currently the world is facing a situation that many generations have fortunately never had to live through, this of course being the pandemic of COVID-19. Sadly, there has already been too much heart break, with the loss of loved ones, closures or business, a loss of jobs to name but a few problems that we have inherited from this horrible environment. I am sure that as a member of parliament representing our constituency that you are doing everything you can to try help members of our community as they struggle through this difficult time. You can imagine my surprise when you voted against the extensions of free school meals to children in need up to the Easter period. I find this perplexing as in September the Prime Minster expected this period of restrictions to last up to 6 months, where I’m sure that many people will be struggling to make ends meet. Our constituency is very close and caring, where already local restaurants have reacted by providing free school meals to children during the October half term, however this should not be their responsibility to provide nourishment during this crisis. The winter period is hard on us all, and nourishment is vital for a child to be healthy over this period, not just in terms of growing but also to fight of illnesses, something which I would have though the government would have place at a high importance given the current climate. Although I did not vote for the current government, I am no means against them. I have nothing but respect for any member of the public who is trying their best to improve the country whilst helping people. I say this because this issue is not a liberal of conservative decisions. This is a humanitarian problem. Politics has no place in poverty, only morals and ethics. The decision to not feed a child in need has no excuse, no explanation. The action itself says it all. I understand you have your reasons to vote against the bill which I would be interested to hear. Perhaps you could answer questions of the public in a live feed so we as a people can debate with are elected official. However, I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision and realise the damaging effect this may have on our local community. I wish you and you family well during this difficult time and look forward to hearing a response from you. Yours Sincerely, Mr Hugo Blick42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hugo Taylor-Helps

Addressing children in poverty in EnglandUnderstand the impact of reforms on children where many other vulnerable groups are protected somewhat from the programmes of welfare reform, children remain vulnerable to its effects. Understanding the impacts of these reforms on children should help inform policies and encourage thinking about how to mitigate these effects.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bruno De Oliveira

Free windows, doors and insulation grants for Scotland Homeowners like England is doingThis will let people live in the living conditions everyone now a days should be living in and can potentially save many, many lives for so many elderly and anyone who has lost their job through pandemic or cannot work for health or many other reasons. The last thing Scotland needs now is badly insulated homes more people getting ill while we try fight a deadly virus.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lara Seoane Mendez
