Prevent Fracking in LeedsAs social ecologists argue, the exploitation of nature is rooted in the exploitation of humankind. Fracking is again a demonstration of how financial incentives threaten to undermine our long-term existence on this planet. To pursue this path will mean greater pollution, degradation of the UK countryside (over half a million metres will be sacrifice to fracking wells) and the exacerbation of the already clear hazards presented by climate change. Environmental activists are campaigning and dying in countries such as Honduras to prevent industrial projects that will destroy scared areas of nature. In England it is time that we realise our responsibility as environmental stewards, in Leeds we must unite to challenge companies who are too short-sighted to see what is valuable. Preston New Road has already shown its opposition with 50,000 signatures, can we stand with them?93 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ptolemy Brown

GOLDFISH AS FAIR PRIZES.Animal rights. The 2008 Animal Welfare act. I was at a fair today with my friends and I walked past a stall I hoped I wouldn’t see. I couldn’t believe how cruel people could be to leave a LIVING creature in a tiny bag/box in direct sun and charge £3 for it. Winners are paying for a more deaths of innocent beings. I hope you can feel my passion for this and have the curtesy to help put a stop to animal crueltly. You can have fun at a fair, but leave the fish to be sold and go to those who want and know how to care for an animal properly. Thankyou.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Free

Release the 1921 Census early/It is already 97 years since the 1921 census. The 1931 census data for England was destroyed and no census took place in 1941. This is invaluable data and for many researchers release in 2021 will be too late.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Murray

Allow fibromyalgia sufferers medicinal cannabisAs a sufferer of fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndrome and degenerative discs, i struggle to move on the morning and every day is filled with constant pain. No painkillers have worked so im left struggling each day. This brings anxiety and depression with it, and other symptoms. Cannabis has been proven to work in those with these conditions abroad, and its time we made it legal here on the nhs for those suffering with chronic pain. If the government understood how these conditions affect mental health, how pain depresses a person and depression makes the pains worse, they will help us.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jeanette duff

Save Our Seabirds from Danish Over-fishingDenmark recently upped its catch from 82,000 to 458,000 tons a year. Most of this becomes fishmeal to feed farmed salmon, mink and livestock. Meanwhile, puffins and kittiwakes can't feed their young. The RSPB recommends a total ban on fishing for sand eels.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Masterson

Petition to force fast food companies to have unsalted fries with all children’s mealsThis is extremely important as adding salt to fries increases the child’s intake and promotes unhealthy eating which can lead to child obesity and other health related issues. It seems ludicrous that as a parent I have to request that my child’s fries are unsalted which usually results in a longer waiting time. These fast food establishments such as McDonald’s and other high street brands which offer children’s meals need to readdress this, the fries should be sold unsalted as a standard, some parents may not realise that you can request unsalted fries, which is backwards as it shouldn’t even be an options on a child’s meal. It’s about time that this changes. Let’s make a stand and push for companies to do everything in their power to be as healthy a success possibly for ourselves and our children. We all enjoy these places as a treat but we should also be confident in these establishments to be doing everything they can to ensure our meals are fresh and as healthy as possible.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Louise Newton

Diabetic sensorsThis is so important for me to help my 9year grandson who is type1 life easier on a daily basis using these sensors make it easier during the day and at night to check his blood without waking him with finger prick with test strips. These sensors are so expensive to buy and it's hard for a young working couple with other outgoing to have this extra amount of money to go out. You will do without for your child to have these sensors...type 1diabetic have enough to deal with so this makes life so much easier and safer. My friend is also type 1 too and works hard so she can buy these sensors. Type1 diabetics struggle on a daily basis so why can't these be made available on the NHS they are more than test strip but all round a better way to test their blood. I also think all type 1diabetics should have the help make it easier to do bloods with an immediate and painless result. This is a life threatening disease and they can struggle on a daily basis.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lyn Rippon

Clean up Horseshoe Common and PondBecause a lot more children than people realise live close to horseshoe common. It’s a beautiful space that should be used as such. Being in the centre of such a largely used town such as Bournemouth and regarded as a ‘natural beauty spot’ that seems to have become the ‘natural dumping spot’16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lauren Long
