This will only benefit the highest 10% of earners and is estimated to cost the country £9 billion a year - that's around half of all the extra money that the government promised to the NHS. The poorest 90% will pick up the bill, either directly through taxation or indirectly through the scaling back of public services. This promise hasn't caused anything like the indignation that it should, perhaps due to Brexit and we need Boris cancel this proposal before he gets a clear mandate at the next election as it is morally disgraceful to reward those who need it the least.

The current regulation for seismic activity, which is a traffic light monitoring system for fracking, was agreed with the industry who wanted to be seen as safe and responsible. Now as there are increased earthquakes which cause a pause in operational activity, the industry is asking for the regulation to be relaxed. Locals are concerned that increased earthquakes are causing damage. Therefore the current traffic light system needs to be retained . Please ask the energy minister to ensure the current regulations will be upheld.

Single use plastic is terrible for the environment and causes much of the pollution in our community and beyond. We would like to see local businesses using plastic free alternatives as much as possible

Only recently a climate emergency was called in parliament. Now come reports that Boris Johnson is preparing to cut fuel duty https://www.itv.com/news/2019-08-25/boris-johnson-preparing-to-cut-fuel-duty/ enabling greater production of climate changing CO2 and air pollution. If anything, fuel duty should be increasing. There are other ways to stimulate business and support families that don't encourage activities that endanger our environmental future. Thank you.

Because the lack of any response is under-mining confidence in the police and encouraging even more crime.

This is important because this is a hotspot for a school entrance/exit, entrance/exit to bowling green and adjacent to a elderly housing.In addition to this there is a bus stop where elderly will often get off the bus and walk out onto the road or be stuck unable to cross.

At this moment, there are devastating wildfires ravaging the Brazilian rainforest. The blame for this is laid quite squarely at the feet of President Jair Bolsonaro, who, through his rhetoric, has given farmers free reign to clear large parts of the forest for pasture. President Bolsonaro is trying to place the blame on NGO's while failing to impose the laws that are made to protect the forest. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, wants this world emergency to take centre stage at the coming 45th G7 summit which starts tomorrow, the 24th of August, and continues until the 26th. He has described the situation as 'our house is burning. At the same time we have a president of the USA, who has clearly shown that he has little regard for ecological matters. The new prime minister of the UK, Boris Johnson will be at the summit and it is of the utmost importance that the UK, as it readies itself for Brexit, shows that it will continue to be a force dedicated to the good of the planet.

Unsustainably sourced palm oil is one of the leading causes of deforestation of the rainforest in places such as Madagascar and Indonesia. Deforestation has a detrimental impact on the people who live in the rainforest and the environment globally. The world's rainforests are home to over half of all plants and animals on earth despite the fact they cover less than 5% of it's surface. The rainforest is disappearing alarmingly quickly and many plant and animal species are going with them. The destruction of the rainforest is also a major contributor to global warming - which affects us all. The lifestyles of indigenous tribes are also at risk as the forest their livelihood relies upon is destroyed. However this can change, if companies are required by law to source the palm oil in their products sustainably we can hold them accountable for their actions and many rainforest species, such as the orang-utan, can be saved before it is to late. Until such point as this is achieved, I urge you to boycott companies sourcing their palm oil unsustainably (information about which can be found via the WWF or the Ethical Consumer). Palm oil is used in a number of everyday products such as lipsticks, chocolates and soap and companies often use a number of alternative names, such as palm kernal or palmitic acid.More information on products that use palm oil can be found at: https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/which-everyday-products-contain-palm-oil I believe that taking care of our planet is essential, not only to save endangered species from extinction but also to ensure that future generations have the same opportunity that we do, to admire its many wonders. I hope that in signing this petition you can help to lead the way in sourcing palm oil more sustainably so that our planet can breathe again.

Seismicity is increasing owing to the fracking in Lancashire; cumulatively, the effects will be greater and it must be stopped now.

This would impede creativity & the use of seasonal produce within small independent establishments. Increase food waste by not using food in new dishes on the day due to not being able to accurately display the calorific content at short notice. Cost money small businesses simply do not have to ensure all recipes are tested for kcal content. Take up time that small business owners do not have to ensure this info is gained and displayed accurately. It would be detrimental to artisan providers & thus have the opposite effect. Less small establishments to choose from as they close down due to one more thing they have been asked to do that is unmanageable. This is in a time when small business closure is at its highest in recent years. The larger chains would most likely remain-providing more processed & cheaper, lower quality produce to the people of Scotland. We want a diverse high street with independent restaurants to choose from. Scottish Government please think again & don’t kill Scotland’s amazing independent food culture!

Extremely vulnerable and broken people are being treated as though they’re consumer products by non qualified assessors. Its unfair and the harm being caused could cost lives. Survivors have been through hell and they are faced with having to go back their again with these inconsiderate, unprofessional and non consistent interviews - the fallout could easily tip someone over the edge - i know because it nearly did me. People could take their own lives having to go through this unfair hell !!

This is important to prevent people becoming entrenched in rough sleeping. People find themselves homeless for all sorts of reasons and are entitled to receive safe shelter and professional support immediately. In the first seven months of 2019 alone, 19 deaths of homeless people have been reported in Brighton and Hove. Please sign this petition to put pressure on Brighton and Hove City Council to do more to prevent further deaths.
