Sheep Need ShelterI am campaigning for Shelter 4 Sheep. Animals are left out in appalling weather conditions and they have nowhere to go to get relief. farmers should be made to provide adequate dwellings for shelter. It is important because animals deserve better. No animal should have to endure days and nights out in the freezing, icy winds, rain, snow, frost! Why do people think animals do not want somewhere nice to retreat to in bad weather? Why do they think they do not want a place to go out of the cold? Animal welfare rules state shelter MUST be provided, and it seldom is. I've even had an official from a council come out to look at some sheep in a field with nothing more than a water trough, and tell me `Yes adequade shelter has been provided, there are hedges all round the field` that is not good enough! Shelter needs to be also a building, a dwelling to go into, to get out of the chilly winds, the wet rain, the freezing cold snow! I have seen sheep die infront of my eyes due to farmers failing to provide shelter for them, due to farmers failing to provide veterinary care for their stock. It is cruel it is evil. Then you get the crowd who say, " They wouldn't have buildings in the wild." That's as maybe but what they would have had is trees to go under, Bracken, foliage, bushes, all the things Humans take from them, to put them in a field surrounded by an electric fence. Also the one's who say - " They have very thick fleeces, they are hardy animals." Yes they have thick fleeces, but they still deserve a place to go to get out of the wet and cold. Would you sleep well if you had stood out in the pouring rain all day, nowhere dry to sit down, nowhere to go to get away from it, you had to endure it until it stops, then you do not always get sun to dry the ground immediately or dry your coat. Would you sleep well and feel ok if you had to stand out all day and night in blizzards of freezing snow? Then only have wet, frozen ground to sit or lie on? No. You would be very ill and most likely die.30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Allenby

Stop subsidies to grouse moor owners.Grouse moor owners receive many millions of pounds in subsidies from EU and UK. This is public money and is given on the premise that landowners do something to benefit the public. The poor management of these moors has been a contributory factor in increasing flood risk and in dramatically reducing raptor numbers in the UK. These moors are run for financial profit, are used by and benefit only a very few rich people who choose the killing of grouse as a pastime. There is absolutely no justification for public funding of these estates and I ask that you sign this petition to end it.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Watson

Save Pinehurst Residential HomeHelps the NHS to free up beds and allows Carers to have somewhere for their relatives to stay while they have short breaks for themselves. My 99 year Mother old has stayed several times, she has been very happy there and it has allowed myself to recharge my batteries with a holiday. An amazing facility and staff that could greatly assist FPH with bed blocking and give patients the time and care to get them back in to the community.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stewart Kettle

Please, let's reuse glassIn June 2016, Sainsburys states in its Corporate Responsibility report that the company promotes 'Respect for our Environment'. With this in mind, I wonder how many of their customers (and future customers) would be interested to see the company offering to make a real difference to the amount of packaging that is needlessly and expensively 'recycled'. Would it not be better to re-use glass packaging rather than recycle after a single use? The company's own-brand products could be sold in different sized bottles/jars of the same shape which customers would be encouraged to return to the store after use. The logistics of this exercise need not be as difficult to administer as might be thought, after all, delivery lorries arrive at stores full and leave empty and arrive at distribution hubs empty and leave full, the same could be said for manufacturing facilities. From an efficiency and environmental standpoint, using refillable glass bottles is one of the least expensive packaging methods available, whereas using non-returnable glass bottles has always been one of the most expensive packaging options of any kind. Not only does the glass have to be transported to the recycling plant and mechanically crushed, but it also needs to be heated to around 1,500 °C, rather than 150 °C required for sterilization If one of the UK's most trusted and used retailers trail-blazed a 'real' environmental policy by adopting re-using glass, imagine how many kW hrs will be saved, how much pollution prevented ... and how much less waste produced?4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samantha Cole

Improve disabled access in PortsmouthSo that wheelchair/Frame/Scooter users can travel around the beautiful city easily and hassle free. Personally as a young wheelchair user living in Portsmouth I know how hard it can be to get around the city and into buildings without having to take longer routes or going into the back entrances of buildings due to lack of disabled access.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Faith Martin

Co-op food wasteEvery evening I watch my local Co-op staff dispose of perfectly good food, rather than reduce any of it for a quick sale. I feel strongly that this Co-op policy is an obscene waste of perfectly good food, when there are people in the UK going hungry every night. They spout about their 'ethical' business and strong 'social responsibility' - not very evident in this policy is it? Starbucks have bowed to pressure in the US and are now being petitioned in the UK. About time our home grown businesses stepped up to the plate, don't you think?6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by cherry smith
