Circle productsTrash should not exist. Every product has still value after it's use, the materials the environmental costs of production are too high to simply reject and detroy, meanwhile creating another significant pollution factor we as a society have to deal with (and barely can). When you buy a product now you pay for it's production, packaging and shipment. The manufacturer doesn't have any responsibility after you've put down the money and took it home. Buying more and more is encouraged. Since a lot of products are not made to last or worse: one time use only, the responsibility for trashing or recycling it lays with you, your government or your local disposal facilities. We can share this cost or innihilate it by making circle products. Costs can be incorporated into the price or be sponsored through taxes (the way garbage disposal is funded already) or companies can simply reduce costs by using recyclable recourses or making their packing biodegradable. Making a more sustainable, healthy society and environment by creating economic responsibility at the source of production and design.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maria de Gier

Stop HS2 and fund NHS shortfall insteadGovernment funding on the NHS has been systematically falling, as a percentage of GDP, since the Tories took office. Funding here, in GDP terms, is now amongst the lowest in Europe despite the fact that we are one of the wealthiest nations in the world. The NHS is close to the hearts of the British people, is something all tax payers contribute to and CAN BE adequately funded. It is a choice that this Government are refusing to make because, in truth, they are seeking to privatise it completely. HS2 is something unnecessary, something that will only benefit a relative minority and which will carve a mighty gash through our countryside. The saving of 20 minutes on a train journey should not be prioritised above the saving of lives in our A & E departments.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Elliott

Make Higher Education free in the UKHigher education has fees around £9000-£20000 per year. Not everyone can afford this education to pursue their career. Let everybody have equal opportunities to have the education if they want it. Help society understand that all education is equally important.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sophia Eden

Road vehicles should use headlights at all times.It is quite alarming how many vehicles of all types do not use headlights in conditions of poor visibility, such as heavy rain, mist and even fog, dawn and dusk light, etc. Even in bright sunlight vehicles are far more visible. Vehicle visibility is an absolute priority. It reduces accident rates and saves lives .The EU ruled that from 2011 all vehicles should be fitted with DRL's (Direct Running Lights) which are switched on automatically when the engine is started. (This does not appear to turn on the rear lights.) There are many vehicles made before this date, and there is a mass of evidence that vehicles can be seen far more clearly under all weather and light conditions if they have their headlights and rear lights on. Please sign this petition. It takes only 30 seconds to help make our roads safer.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Humpoletz

Get Trump Barred from ALL pubs and barsBecause we bar people for making customers and staff uncomfortable (as well as other reasons), and this guy is a prat. Stay out of my pub I wouldn't want to sit in the same room as this guy and enjoy a meal, or stay in the same Hotel or bar or any space. Keep him out.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Hedgecock

Make Politics compulsory in secondary educationThis is important because not enough people know about how politics work and who to vote for when the time comes, I think teens need to know who to vote for and what people in the government do.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lewis Critchley

More SEN Training for teachers and TA'S in schoolsThis very important because we need to help our children cope in society, prepare our children for a happy and meaningful life. My daughter is 12 years old, though out her primary school days struggled with going to school, crying a lot, her anxiety levels were through the roof. Only when my daughter was in year 4 the school had noticed my daughter had communication problems I was never told about until year 5. When my daughter was 3 years old I had taken to the GP, she was very violent so our GP referred my daughter over to the community paediatric services I got my local MP involved. After all those years of stress, anxiety, we finally received a outcome, on the 6th Dec 2016 my daughter was finally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.228 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Yates

British Man's Wife Denied a UK VisaWe are a family of 5 people, 4 of us are British citizens. My wife in Venezuelan. The children are aged 8, 7 and 3 months. I live and work and pay taxes in the UK and my wife is being denied a UK visa for no reason. Our family is being destroyed by this ridiculous decision. My wife and children are currently in Venezuela while I am in the UK setting up a home and working so everything is ready for my family to come here. We have been separated for more than 10 months while waiting for the visa to be issued. We meet all of the visa requirements including my wife passing an English proficiency exam with the British Council in Venezuela and me being in full time employment earning more than the £18,600 wage threshold that is required by the British Government. Regardless of my stability in the UK, mine and our 3 children British nationality and citizenship the immigration department refused the visa and a Judge dismissed the appeal. The dismissal was based on my work situation but this is not a true or valid reason because I am in full time employment and earn more than the minimum wages required. There is no reason to deny my wife the visa yet she is being denied the visa. My children are suffering terribly by this unnecessary separation that has been enforced upon us by the British authorities. Their future is being taken from them by a decision that is wrong and is contradictory to the visa requirements. We meet every one of the requirements and we are still being denied the visa.1,248 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Craig Reynolds

Collect Tax from British Offshore Tax Havens to Fund Free Elderly CareVarious governments have had no adequate policy for caring for the elderly in England and Wales, leading to dreadful suffering, as well as strain on the NHS. Its a moral imperative to change this and bring in the Scottish system that provides non- means tested home care for the elderly. That way, they are safer at home and not bed blocking the N.H.S. ( Community Care & Health ( Scotland) Act 2002.) The Government says there is no money to pay for the Scottish system of elderly care in England and Wales. That's because successive governments chose to collude with the corporate elite, rather than care for us. This also causes too much tax burden paid through P.A.Y.E., which should reduce if the elite loop holes that lose the welfare state budget billions of pounds were closed. A proper policy to enforce tax collection from British offshore territories, including political support and resources to bring vigorous tax collection cases, would raise billions of pounds for home care and convalescent homes for the elderly as well as fund other public services.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J Bradwell
