Sign the petition: Save Our Swifts Swifts have lost more than half their population in 20 years. A simple Β£35 brick in new builds could help save them. Labour used to support this – now they’re planning to backtrack. Sign the petition ...

A worthwhile cause - or I think so at least. Please sign and spread amongst your followers. Thanks

Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...

I’m campaigning for a ban on fossil fuel ads in the UK , for too long these fossil fuel giants have had unlimited spending power to greenwash their filthy reputations for politicians and the public .

Please sign my Gov petition - thank you

Old oak tree with twisted branches in autumn woodland of ancient oaks

Old oak tree with twisted branches in autumn woodland of ancient oaks

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

And while we’re not in favour of a ban, we agree with
@wildjustice.bsky.social that change must come.

Hopefully this petition will lead to a much-needed Westminster debate.
