The use of toxic glyphosate chemicals in weedkillers has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. We are extremely concerned that our community, including young children and dogs, and our precious wildlife are being routinely exposed to glyphosate that the World Health Organisation states is 'probably carcinogenic'. You may well be aware that attitudes to wild plants have changed in recent decades and that pristine lawns without wild flowers are now outdated. These plants add colour and interest to our parks. They also serve as indicators of a healthy and safe lawn, both for us and for insect pollinators, especially bees, on whose services we depend for our food.

The Church has a commitment to justice for the poor who are already suffering the worst effects of climate change and have done little to cause it. More frequent and intense hurricanes and flooding, longer and more frequent droughts and sea-level rise is already a reality that millions face across the globe, especially in the developing world. Climate changing is having a negative impact on food security leading to famine and conflict. In addition to the thousands of fatalities caused by these climate disasters many more people are forced from their homes. We accept the science that climate change is being driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. We acknowledge that this is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels. We accept, as has been internationally agreed, global temperature rise should be limited to less than 2°C to avert the worst impacts of climate change. The fossil fuel companies have 5 times more coal, oil and gas in their reserves than we can safely burn and stay below 2°C global temperature rise. If no action is taken then these reserves will be burnt and the resulting climate change will be catastrophic. We must keep the oil in the soil, the coal in the hole and the gas beneath the grass. The church should take a moral stand and withdraw its investment from the fossil fuel industry.

Helping preserve and conserve woodland and helping children learn the importance of trees. By introducing the one tree per child to Brighton and Hove hopefully more cities in the UK will follow meaning the more of the environment will be saved.

Many independent studies have stated the many health risks associated with weedkiller sprays: http://permaculturenews.org/2012/11/01/why-glyphosate-should-be-banned-a-review-of-its-hazards-to-health-and-the-environment/ ; http://www.drugwatch.com/2015/11/18/roundup-weed-killer-causing-cancer/ ; https://www.rt.com/usa/316995-usa-workers-sue-monsanto-roundup/ ; http://www.naturalnews.com/051450_glyphosate_cancer_risk_Monsanto.html . Street spraying provides a massive risk to all pavement users, especially dogs and young children, and is also contributing to ever decreasing bee numbers. Furthermore, it is undemocratic. Residents are not being advised of when or where spraying will take place and there is currently no option to opt out of having the area around your property sprayed with carcinogenic chemicals that have numerous health risks.

Lets kill slugs......and everything that eats them! The main predators of slugs in the UK are hedgehogs, frogs and wild birds, while microscopic predatory nematodes and carabid beetles can also be important. Last year the Aldi said: "We've looked into this and can now assure you that all of our products meet legal requirements and are in line with the market standards. We value your opinion and will be sure to pass your feedback on to the relevant department as our pesticides policy undergoes review this year. Thanks again - Aldi UK Facebook Team" Well yesterday I took a snap of the same SPECIAL BUY toxic product on sale in their store..........obviously Aldi don't care what they destroy........ Selling a product that contains poison in the form of Metaldehyde contradicts and conflicts with Aldi's Corporate Responsibility Policy. Three specific extracts from their CRP on the environment states: To us, a quality product also needs to be made responsibly, so that what we sell is produced with respect for the environment and workers. It's our job to ensure that what you buy at Aldi has been grown, caught or made with care for the environment and that the workers involved are treated fairly. We are working closely with our suppliers and industry partners to ensure you can trust what you buy at Aldi. We are convinced that long term business success can only be achieved if we additionally assume responsibility for people and the environment. On the instructions of the product, in capital letters it states: SINCE THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS METALDEHYDE WHICH IS A POISON AND CAN KILL IF EATEN. IT MUST BE KEPT AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS. SCATTER PELLETS THINLY. On the product under Environmental Protection, it also states: Do not contaminate water with the product or its container The Pesticide Action Network UK published an article that says: "There is widespread concern that there has been an unacceptable number of poisoning incidents especially involving domestic pets, wild animals and birds." There are many safe alternative to using this type of poisonous product, so PLEASE remove it from your stores Aldi, (and other high street businesses/garden centres, etc, etc) and offer safe, none toxic alternatives.
