We urge the Government to ban the use of pesticides in children’s playgrounds and schools in England, to protect children from what could be harmful chemicals.

Set national planning rules to ban incinerators near facilities for children
We are calling on the Government to introduce national planning safeguards that prevent waste and clinical waste incinerators being built within a specific distance from schools, nurseries, and playgrounds.
End the mandatory meat requirement in English school meals
Remove the mandatory requirement in the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014 requiring maintained schools and academies to serve meat or poultry three days per week. We believe this rule conflicts with environmental goals and health guidance on reducing meat consumption.
Legalise pepper spray in England
We call on the UK Government to: • Legalise and regulate pepper spray for self-defence • Restrict sales to over-18s and approved formulations only • Impose tough penalties for misuse • Provide clear guidelines on lawful self-defence
Ban the use of netting on roofs and outdoor structures
Thousands of birds are reported to get trapped in netting yearly, and many may die in pain and fear from the horrific injuries sustained trying to free themselves e.g. breaking their entangled limbs. Others may die of dehydration and starvation and rescuers are too late.
Ban atmospheric geoengineering in UK
Prohibit all atmospheric geoengineering and weather-modification in the UK. These practices could raise environmental and public health concerns and lack transparency. We call for independent research, democratic oversight, and clear law.
