Coming together as eNGOs, growers & supporters, we called for the destruction of peatlands to stop! There's still time to add your voice 👉 https://loom.ly/2owB_VM
DYK today is #WorldWildlifeDay and this year it’s all about the plants.🌱
#Peatlands are home to an array of plants. But as they continue to be destroyed, species like sundews, sphagnum mosses, and butterworts are at risk.
🔈We need to protect these plants. Find out more 👉 https://loom.ly/15DQhY8

These MPs have something in common...
These maps show the coverage of #peat soils in and around the constituencies of several English MPs.
Although Emma Reynolds and Mary Creagh's constituencies aren't home to peat, #DEFRA has responsibility for legislation to #EndPeatSales

Peat isn't "just dirt"
It's an important natural resource in the fight against climate change, and the main component of the breathtaking peatlands that cover ~12% of the UK.
Enough is enough - sign today

Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day!
Always make sure you're checking that your houseplants are 100% peat-free. Some start of their life in peat plugs before being repotted in peat-free, so ask if you're unsure.
Show your leafy friends some love today 💚

Hi Phil, thank you very much for your interest in signing the petition - it means a lot. Unfortunately only supporters with a UK postcode will be able to sign this due to the way the platform collects postcodes. Sorry about that!
Our petition to #EndPeatSales is starting off 2026 with 6000 signatures! How timely...
But we need 10k signatures before we take peat sales to Downing Street this February.
Can you share with 3 people who haven't signed yet?

We're asking for one thing that will provide clarity to an industry that's faced constant delays. Legislation is needed to give the #horticulture industry a timeline for phasing out #peat.
Sign the petition for legislation in 2026: https://actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sales/
Thank you Nic! 💚🌱
Buying loved ones #houseplants for #Christmas? 🌴🌿💐
Choose carefully: almost all houseplants are grown in #peat. If you're not sure, always ask before buying. Wish you didn't have to worry? Sign our petition to ask govt to make all plants #peatfree actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
The support is fantastic! Thank you all 💚
It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat.
Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'.
Get on with it already! Sign the petition:

Good morning, please can you share this petition by @peatfree.bsky.social to end peat sales - all previous petitions were for the Conservative Government, and we're now close to making this law with Labour so peat habitat can never be used again actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
