Petition to force companies to Reduce excessive product packagingMore often than not far too much material is wasted on product packaging. Sometimes it is totally unnecessary and purely for visual reasons; aimed at making a product look more than it is - A marketing gimmick! So many items are also packaged in unnecessarily high quality materials, which is costly to the environment and consumer. World resources are under pressure and we need to put a stop to it. A reduction in unnecessary packaging helps the environment and future generations171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by LINDSAY GONSALVES

Ban Geo-EngineeringBecause substances are being sprayed from planes into the environment which spreads in the wind and drops down to earth. All who breath are affected by these projects and until we know what harm or good these projects do then they need to be stopped. All those long lasting trails in the sky are NOT condensation trails but trails of some sort of chemical substance. With the continued crazy weather conditions worldwide and the increase in ill health amongst humans, birds are dropping from the sky, whales and dolphins are washing up in areas they are not supposed to, bees are dying off, fish are dying in record numbers, surely this is no coincidence. I did a rain water test in my back garden and the aluminium content was a staggering 990ppm, over 700ppm above the deemed safe levels. This has to stop now for the sake of all our children and for the sake of our planet.177 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alex Modestou

OFCOM Apply media rules fairlyAs part of its claim to be a modern democracy, the UK has a nominal commitment to defend freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This implies accepting the right of those with alternative views to have their voices heard, even if those views challenge governments and vested economic interests.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Carline

Save The St Agnes Bank / Cash MachineThe St Agnes post office has recently closed, our bus service is being significantly reduced and now Barclays (the only bank and cash machine in the village) is closing. This is a vital resource for the community and its closing will have devastating social and economic impacts on the village. We have a large elderly population in the village, many of whom don’t use credit / visa cards. We are blessed to have some great independent shops in the village - a baker, news agent, small cafes, two green grocers and two butchers. Some of whom accept cards, some don't. With no cash machine in the village how will people use these great independent shops. Where will the young people get their bus fare each morning to get to college? Yes, there are shops that offers cash back, but you have to spend £ 5 to get cash back . It's hardly fair that you have to spend your money, to get your money. Like many Cornish villages, tourism is our biggest business now the tourists won’t be able to get any cash to spend when they are here. Great. Less services for residents and tourists - a social and economic disaster for us.2,330 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sasha Dobrota

Protect the public from fake health & care workersThis is important as highlighted by a number of recent cases, the most high profile of which was a young man in Sussex who was jailed for a number of years for fraudulently impersonating a paramedic and ambulance professional, gaining access to the elderly and vulnerable and causing harm. In this case, the police knew that the individual was a serious risk, knew the individual was an imposter, but had to wait until a crime was committed before eventually charging him with an array of offences. Read about the case here: http://www.sussex.police.uk/whats-happening/latest/news-stories/2014/10/14/fraudster-sent-back-to-prison-for-impersonating-a-paramedic Other cases have been individuals driving around in vehicle with blue lights and sirens, pretending to be ambulance professions and paramedics, a crime that the police can't arrest them for. Worryingly, the same applies to all health and care professionals, so if you want to impersonate a doctor, nurse, social worker, physiotherapist, AHP or any other kind of regulated health or care professional, this isn't an arrestable offence. IT IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN FRAUDULENTLY DRESS-UP AND PRETEND TO BE AMONGST THE MOST TRUSTED MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY AND CANNOT BE ARRESTED UNTIL THEY HARM SOMEONE. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS CAMPAIGN TO REQUEST URGENT ACTION BY OUR GOVERNMENT.1,248 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by David Davis

NO to 275 new homes being built on farmland at Shurnhold, Melksham, WiltshireThe site is completely inappropriate for a development of this kind for the following reasons: This precise area is prone to frequent flooding, the last time being on 18th September 2014 where many existing houses were flooded and the main A365 road was closed for two days. The land completely surrounds a grade II listed building that will lose all of it's views and will likely suffer increased risk from flooding from the developed land. The A365 (Bath - Melksham) road that bisects the two sites is a known traffic blackspot often leading to long tailbacks in both directions. Additional traffic on this route will increase the risk of accidents and nearby narrow residential lanes being used as rat-runs. Local infrastructure including primary/secondary schools and GP surgeries are already over-subscribed and cannot cope with the anticipated additional 1000+ extra residents. The nature and character of this semi-rural area including the nearby villages of Shaw and Whitley will be profoundly affected for the worse by this development.597 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Michael Booth

Justice for CatsThis is important because my cat Baillie got knocked down on 15/11/2014 and sadly died, the driver never stopped. With the severity of his injuries the driver would have known they hit something. Cats are part of the family and they deserve justice.420 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Graeme Tait

Save Ashburton Railway StationThis is a unique terminus building with a roof attributed to I K Brunel. It was built before 1872 when the line from Totnes to Ashburton was opened. It was taken over by the Dart Valley Railway in 1965 but because the A38 Dual carriageway was about to be build on the track bed between Ashburton and Buckfastleigh this was not part of the Light Railway order of April 1969. It then became a garage (Station Garage) which is likely to be closed in the future and the building and the area around it developed. It is not a listed building but is of historical importance. It needs protection from demolition. See http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/a/ashburton/ for information If you wish to write to Dartmoor National Park Authority please still do so.3,730 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Pete Webb

Restrict fast food outlets and place health warnings in the windows and/or doorsFast food is a health hazard. It is definitely unhealthy, non-nutritious, and contains huge amounts of fat. It is dangerous to health, causing obesity and heart attacks amongst other problems. Far too many people are using them for the source of their main meal of the day. The health problems caused cost the National Health Service millions of pounds a year. As with smoking, prevention is better than cure.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rudi Affolter
