This site is basically where you can sign petions online. From the site: “The e-petition service is within its remit to build websites which give people simple, tangible benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives”
I’m a very strong beliver in the whole making yourself heard about things you blive in, but I’m terminally lazy, so this site is perfect. I’ve already signed several:
* To remove VAT from environmentally friendly products.
* Encourage the reduction of household waste by requiring producers to pay for the disposal costs of their products and packaging
* Scrap the £12 billion road building programme and invest the money in alternative transport
* Create areas of the seas around Britain where all commercial fishing is banned for ten years to allow stocks to recover
* Tax energy inefficient light bulbs
* Make software patents clearly unenforcible
* Review VAT on energy efficiency products and services
* Fast track global climate change policy
* Treat climate change as a national emergency
* Ban the use of new materials in the manufacturing of disposeable carrier bags, and used recyled materials instead
* Introduce tax breaks to encourage the adoption of bio-fuels
Okay, so they’re all environmental things atm, but I’m going off to sign some more
EDIT: I’ve signed a couple more:
* Reduce or take away benefit from people who show no itention of working
* provide subsidised courses for thousands of young people who have been failed by the Education system.
* Put in place guidelines to stop Homophobic bullying.
* ban non-residents parking near schools
* Introduce the teaching of British Sign Language in all UK schools.
* Abolish all faith schools.
* reform of the Sex Education delivered in schools.
* cease the creation of more faith schools, take existing public-funded faith schools from the control of religious bodies and convert them to unbiased schools for all.
* Increase funding for extra curricular activities in schools like music, art and sports.
* prevent the use of creationist and other pseudo-scientific propaganda in Government-funded schools.
* Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) a foundation subject in all primary and secondary schools
* Abolish all faith schools and prohibit the teaching of creationism and other religious mythology in all UK schools
I’ve also signed a lot more but I can’t be bothered to list them all.
