This is important as it not only strips away poor, endangered animals habitats but also increases deforestation greatly. Did you know that over 50,000 orangutans have died recently on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra due to palm oil deforestation.

I work in a shop and am horrified by the number of people asking for plastic carriers, sometimes just for one small item. We don't even charge them as we are too small. Multiply our shop by all the shops who give or even sell plastic carrier bags and the impact on the environment is immense. Many people now carry their own cloth bags and if plastic bags were not freely available, everyone else would learn very quickly, to do the same.

The spped limit on these rural roads is currently 60mph. we want the council to introduce a sensible limit to ensure safety of all residents and visitors.

My country (UK) will therefore have to introduce a similar visa-waiver system which will be too costly. Even worse, the ETIAS system, (& ANY visa-waiver system for that matter) does NOT go far enough to ensure our safety & national security as applicants will NOT be properly scrutinised before they will be allowed to enter through borders. Whereas if the UK is on the full schengen visa list, we will just need to simply add the EU to our visa system at no extra cost & most importantly, it means that we will be able to regain FULL right of control over our borders. There is no better supporter of our union with Gibraltar than Claude Moraes. The UK really need him back at the helm.

Reasons are mainly cause: They harm marine wildlife and ecosystems. They expose us to toxic chemicals. Why You Should STOP Using Plastic Straws? Science Says: Amount of straws, plastic pollution is huge. ... They figure that means 437 million to 8.3 billion plastic straws are on the entire world's coastlines. But that huge number suddenly seems small when you look at all the plastic trash bobbing around oceans. The use of plastic straws is killing the environment You’ve heard it on the news and across the internet — plastic straws are no good. Why? Plastic straws are no good because… Are Straws Recyclable? The average straw is made from polypropylene. This resin of plastic is identified as the number five when you look at its recycling code. Other things made from polypropylene include bottle caps, plastic cutlery, yogurt containers, etc. It is a highly recyclable plastic. However, there are different types of polypropylene — and the one used in the production of plastic straws is not widely accepted. Even some of the biggest recycling centres that DO accept polypropylene, DO NOT accept plastic straws. Why Using Plastic Straws is Bad? When straws cannot be accepted by your local recycling program and they are still included in the recycling bins, you’re creating a bigger problem. This negligence can cost cities millions of dollars to remove these straws from the items that can actually be recycled. Most plastic straws are used at restaurants and bars. Therefore, it’s completely up to the business to be environmentally responsible and find a proper recycling program that accepts plastic straws. The problem is, not many take this extra step. Straws that end up being thrown away (and recycled improperly) will end up in either landfills or floating garbage patches in the ocean. Even though straws are small, a lot are used and they can add up faster than most items that are thrown away. What You Should Do? Stop using all forms of plastic straws altogether. Do not buy them at the store and ask your server or bartender to hold off on giving you one when you order a drink. Live a straw-free life OR use straws made from recycled paper. Even though these straws became less popular in the 1960s (when plastic straws were introduced), they are still made and are the best option if you must use straws.

The local people take pride in their beaches and love to walk their dogs on them, why should we have to be ruled by what the councils say. I appreciate its important for tourism but its also important to the people who live here, all year round.

There has been a massive increase in homelessness with figures of people sleeping rough, in tents or on buses having risen as much as 103% since 2010. Life expectancy for a rough is 30 years shorter than the rest of the population. Having to carry and look out for all your possessions -including valuable possessions such as ID or sentimental items- around can be both physically straining and taxing on the body and mentally difficult and leaving feeling of shame and embarrassment. While getting affordable housing for all has slowed at an alarming rate at least giving a safe place with for homeless people to store stuff would help them in meantime till they get off the streets. No one wants to have their bed around all day. By providing lockers to access in safe public areas can help give them a small improvement in quality of life.

Air pollution has been linked to poor health. It is important for our health that this is dealt with immediately.

LGBT+ people are human beings and deserve to be treated with respect and acceptance. To execute someone who has been involved in a consensual adult relationship, is simply an expression of bigotry and homophobia. Every human being should have the right to love. #LoveIsLove

2019 has seen a shocking and heartbreaking amount of deaths of youngsters and adults on UK streets. But literally how many more people of any age/colour must die on the streets before the government takes a serious stance and acts on this urgent matter? When someone's killed on the street, they are killing not only the family and friends of the deceased but also communities, people's freedom and innocence. Children/teenagers especially should be able to walk the streets and not be in fear of being attacked and yet for many they have to carry a weapon not to kill but to defend. This is not right but it is a reality. We simply must not simply stand by and do nothing. It could happen to anyone or to anyone's child. Please sign the petition and share. The more pressure placed on the government the more hopefully they will listen and act.

I have read too many stories of assessors telling lies and ignoring things which confirm provided evidence and are in the claimants favour. I recently experienced this for myself. My assessor was rude, ignorant and her behaviour verged on abusive. This is wrong! If anybody else came into my home and treated me the way she did, I would call the police but I felt forced to comply with her because she held the keys to the support I need. I am a vulnerable person, yet the DWP has no safeguarding measures in place which protect me or other vulnerable people from abusive assessors. Also, if the DWP insist on putting ill and disabled people on trial, shouldn't they take on practices used in courts which make the process fair??

This is important because we believe that even though Domestic Violence is known, its not fully understood. We want children to know that everyone can be abused in their lifetime, whether it be women, men or children. Through personal experience, I have seen what Domestic Violence can do and its effects on a persons physical and mental well-being.
