• NO FRACKING IN THE UK- Anti-fracking campaign
    Hydraulic fracturing is harmful to the climate ________________________________________________ If natural gas from fracking was not so long ago considered as a bridge from dirty coal to more climate friendly solutions. Indeed, fracking has been proved to be linked to important leaks of methane – a 23 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. FRACKING Contaminates soils, air and water We depend on clean soils in many ways. Feeding ourselves is but one. Clean air is even simpler to comprehend as we breathe the air around us. So if hydraulic fracturing pollutes both soils and air, how can we eat food grown on this land? It Is NOT part of the vital energy transition. Fracking is just polluting and inefficient means of heating our houses and moving our cars and trucks when better solutions are at our disposal. Far better solutions like low carbon energy sources such as renewables (solar, wind, geothermal…) and energy efficiency can be part of an energy transition that is safe for our civilization and our climate. An energy transition based on these two could bring thousands of local jobs and money without any risks. As a matter of facts, it has already started… Fracking consumes vast amounts of precious water ___________________________________________________________________________________ Water as more and more countries are getting drier, using energy sources that consumes vast amounts of water is just sheer madness. The UK is currently facing drought conditions and this is set to continue to get worse in years to come. Climate Progress reported that each fracking job requires several million gallons of water, of which only around a quarter is being recovered. Shale gas drilling has been linked in many occasions to FLAMMABLE drinking water. The Economist published an article on it. Injecting in our environment a cocktail of water, sand and no less than hundreds of chemicals that can cause cancers or are neurotoxins. Not the kind of stuff you want anywhere near you… 5. Causes earthquakes In Ohio Drilling holes in the soil and injecting massive amounts of chemicals and wastewater created earthquakes. A recent study from one of the world’s leading seismology labs quoted by Reuters show that ” powerful earthquakes thousands of miles (km) away can trigger swarms of minor quakes near wastewater-injection wells like those used in oil and gas recovery “ The US Geological Survey (USGS) linked up to 50 earthquakes to fracking in Oklahoma. Magnitudes were ranging from 1.0 to 4.0. Puts arsenic in groundwater tables Arsenic is a poison of choice if you want to dispose of an Emperor or a King. Most unfortunately to people near fracking wells, it also has been found in groundwater near fracking wells. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found traces of it on multiple occasions as the Los Angeles Times and ProPublica both reported. Doesn’t benefit We, the People. Because of all the negative side effects, the People can lose a lot because of fracking. The ones who benefit from it really are only the companies conducting it. Rural communities can be revived thanks to wind power’s money. Please sign to keep Fracking off the table for good, and maintain the ban on use in the UK.

  • Help a wheelchair user retain the decking outside his council flat
    Jack Milnes is a disabled wheelchair user. Four years ago he had verbal permission from his housing officer at East Riding of Yorkshire Council to retain his decking just outside his door of his ground floor council flat. Three days after making a complaint about outstanding adaption to his flat that have been waiting for nearly three years, he has now been ordered to remove the decking and been given 21 day to complete it. Within the estate there are several properties that have similar facilities outside and, as far as he is aware, none of these have been ordered to remove them. This is a very important area for Jack to be able to greet and socialise with his neighbours and enjoy some needed fresh air. Please sign this petition and encourage your friends to help Jack.

  • Close SeaLife Brighton
    WATCH OUR UNDERCOVER VIDEO EXPOSÉ - CLOSESEALIFE.COM SEA LIFE BELONGS IN THE SEA STOLEN FROM THEIR NATURAL HABITATS LIKE THE GREAT BARRIER REEF AND FORCED TO TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES, ON A PERILOUS JOURNEY FOR THEIR DELICATE BODIES. OFTEN RESULTING IN THEM DYING. SEA LIFE IN CAPTIVITY IN UK AQUARIUMS HAVE NO CHANCE TO EXHIBIT NATURAL BEHAVIOUR, INSTEAD PACING, CIRCLING, HEAD BOBBING SPIRALLING, IS ALL EVIDENCE OF ZOOCHOSIS. DUE TO T0 STRESS AND BOREDOM. BREEDING PROGRAMMES ONLY SERVE TO KEEP TANKS FULL, VERY FEW SPECIES BRED IN CAPTIVITY MAKE IT BACK TO THE WILD, CONSERVATION CLAIMS ARE WEAK, AND AQUARIUMS DON'T HELP ENDANGERED SPECIES, IT’S NOT EDUCATION IT’S ENTERTAINMENT. LULU THE SEA TURTLE IN SEA LIFE BRIGHTON HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM THE SEA OVER EIGHTY YEARS AGO AS A TINY TURTLE TO APPEAR IN A TV SOAP COMMERCIAL. HELD CAPTIVE EVER SINCE AND SHE'S NEVER SEEN THE SEA OR HER NATURAL HABITAT. TURTLES LIVE A LONG TIME, AND NORMALLY COVER THOUSANDS OF MILES, LAYING THOUSANDS OF EGGS, YET SADLY LULU IS UNABLE TO DO THAT IN HER TINY TANK. 𓆟 90% of fish need sunlight to live reads a poster in SEA LIFE, Brighton. An underground prison with no windows, sunlight, disorientating lights and a relentless soundtrack.  𓆟 SEA LIFE Brighton used to house dolphins until public opinion changed causing a backlash. They were removed, only to be replaced by sharks among other larger species and sea turtles. 𓆟 79% of animals held in UK public aquariums have been taken from the wild and put into tanks. 𓆟 The myth that fish only have a 3-second memory recall has been proved untrue. Research shows fish recognise other fish, and human faces, talk to each other, remember feeding locations months after visiting them, form bonds with other fish and feel pain like humans do. 𓆟 Killing healthy unwanted animals in zoos and aquariums is common practice. The industry is reluctant to share figures for fear of public outrage and losing their licence. 𓆟 SEA LIFE promotes activities such as animal petting which is not an ethical practice.  𓆟 Chemicals used to clean the tanks and water are harmful to the animals. 𓆟 Kids like to see all the fish from Disney’s Finding Nemo together in the same tank. Pufferfish and Clownfish placed together caused the Clownfish to be eaten and regularly replaced. 𓆟 Merlin Entertainments own SEA LIFE, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds. It was discovered in 2014 that they also own Changfeng Ocean World aquarium in Shanghai that kept 3 Beluga whales captive. Once exposed, Merlin announced they were rehoming the whales in a natural sea sanctuary. In 2012 Merlin also owned theme parks in Italy and Germany where dolphin shows took place. They promised they would be given to a dolphin sanctuary, instead, they were sold to zoos and other aquariums. Whales and dolphins are no longer held in captivity in the UK since the 1990s when legislation was passed to ban it, yet large and small species like turtles, rays, sharks and octopuses are still held captive in tanks too small for them. Never visit SEA LIFE or any other aquarium.

  • Energy Referendum
    Although a freeze on energy prices might initially sound good, these prices are already extortionately high and although it will stop them rising further for the next 2 years, we will still end up paying back that £100b (£100,000,000,000) so it will still affect us all in the long run. Nationalisation would cost £3b (£3,000,000,000) which would be a lot less to pay back and would mean we ended up with cheaper utility bills in the long run. Plus profits would go back to the country helping the many things that we need help with such as hospitals, schools, policing etc. The £100b (or £3b) will be in the form of a loan that will need to be paid back, and it is us, the average person, that will be paying it back, so we should get a say on what we do.

  • Accessible Toilets Wellingborough Town
    The disabled community need to be considered and given back their value as members of Wellingboroughs community. With the accessible toilets in their current state its degrading all that require accessible facilities and as a basic human right there’s no dignity when expected to use dirty toilets with only basic adaptations within the toilets. These amenities are vital to create inclusion and a barrier free community.
