Petitions
The planet is facing some big challenges. But you have the power to create positive change!
Sign a Petition
By signing a petition, you demand solutions and show that you want change. You add your voice to thousands of others – together forming a movement that’s too large to ignore.
Your signature makes a difference! In 2018, after years of campaigning, a petition was presented to the Prime Minister calling for a ban on oil and gas exploration. It was signed by thousands of people – just like you. A month later, the Government announced an end to new offshore oil and gas exploration permits.
We’re campaigning for the future of the planet. Check out some of our current petitions below. Add your name today!
