The ever-rising tide of our plastic waste has recently been found washing up on the shores of Henderson Island, an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, where 38 million pieces of plastic are now lying. Plastic is littering our countryside, hardly degrading, and it is floating around in the oceans where fish are mistaking tiny pieces of plastic for food. A recent analysis is now showing that we are all probably ingesting microplastics in our tap water and in the world's salt where they remain as residues. And our appetite for disposable coffee cups and bottles shows no sign of waning. All of these are warnings that we must all cut our plastic waste, and the huge industries that create it must help consumers to recycle, and ultimately find alternative, biodegradable materials, or better still cut unnecessary packaging altogether. Reusing plastic bottles is not enough. Consider how much plastic we get through everyday that is marked as 'not currently recycled': food packets, vegetable wrapping, 'post-consumer film' on fruit punnets and ready meals, snack bags, the reams of plastic when you buy a new gadget, not forgetting pens and carrier bags, greetings card sleeves. I ask, why is this not currently recycled? It is very difficult to live in the modern world without such a convenient material, but it is possible to find alternatives if the will and demand is there. We already have cellulose and waste potato starch from crisp manufacturing that can replace film and polystyrene. Pens and pots can be made from tyres and plastic cups. Not only can we stem the tide of plastic in our oceans, we can save energy and money by reducing the processing of our plastic waste. We also need to protect animals and ourselves from exposure to microplastics.

- Instagram has a minimum age of 13 right now, but that's not high enough and it doesn't do enough to protect children. Alongside sharing pictures, instagram can be used to message with strangers, which opens up the risk of people using it to groom children. Please sign this petition if you think the minimum age should be brought up to 16.

With ever increasing costs of accommodation in London many workers have to move out to the suburbs and beyond. However those who run toward danger whilst telling others to run away, as part of what they themselves call their 'normal job' deserve special consideration. This is already given to police officers. I believe this should be extended to LFB & LAS also.

Will train people how to use them safely on the roads and bring down the deaths that happen on quads due to lack of training and understanding how easy they are to flip over.

Because innocent people are getting killed and hurt, he spreading false propaganda and lies, London fire tower and man ran Muslims over in London.. Tommy Robinson also said he's going to take the law into their own hands

Because there is a minimum but no maximum. We are In pain with the heat

Read today's article (21/6/2017) ( https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/21/new-disease-devastate-wildlife-tories-do-nothing-michael-gove ) by George Monbiot. Serious threat of Xylella entering the country and devastating the UK's environment, agricultural crops and forests. Only current pathway into the UK is from live plant imports.

After the Tragedy at Grenfell Tower and the unknown amount of people who died from smoke inhalation, this could be an effective low cost fast way to give people a chance of getting through the deadly smoke. We should all understand that the government will not fit sprinkler systems within flats similar to Grenfell but this would be a start to give people a chance of getting out of the building alive if such events occur.

This is extremely important to this gentleman as it's his only enjoyment of getting out and seeing people

Upon learning that families who decline to move away from their community & their lives will be declared - "intentionally homeless!" For the families this now means - withdrawal of promised support; loss of housing rights position; & most shockingly - potential loss of custody of their children!!! This is no way to treat British citizens, so I implore anyone who reads this petition, to sign it & send it across their networks, in order to help the traumatised families. Lets make sure that the lessons of past tragedies aren't repeated here; not now, not ever!!! Thank you.

Plastic sea pollution, endocrine disrupters, closing the loop by reuse as a compost caddy liner.

This has been promised and appears to have been quietly dropped by the Conservatives. Please sign the petition to force the government to keep its promises.
