Petition background

Join me in urging our legislators to enact a law that will profoundly impact our environment's health and cleanliness. Please sign this petition to push for a cleaner, safer country, where takeaway packaging no longer clogs our beautiful landscapes. Share this petition widely please.

Additional details

The escalating levels of litter on roadsides and countryside is ruining the beauty of our environment. Despite the efforts of local councils, they lack the funding to address this issue and the problem is worsening. Our country is at risk of being overwhelmed by the vast amounts of waste from takeaway packaging. This is not just an eyesore but a threat to our natural habitat, wildlife, and the overall health of our environment. It's time for us to take proactive steps to keep our nation clean.
