Category: CAMPAIGNING: petitions, marches, writing to your MP, HHDay

I was reading the paper this morning, when something caught my attention… …and put a smile on my face… …and I realised that to get headlines like these in 2030… …that we had to do this… #stateofnature petition https://bit.ly/3kjLIsX …and then everyone will be happy and can claim the credit – but actually, it was…

The joint NGO petition is four weeks old and it is just shy of 100,000 signatures – not bad at all. It’s been a good week. We need more good weeks, and quite a few of them, to power through the 250,000 signature barrier and beccome truly noticeable and powerful. Thanks mostly to @Team4Nature’s social…

This joint petition, supported by over 50 environmental NGOs is not going too well – only a few more than 2000 signatures in the last week despite the support of the National Trust, WWF-UK, old Uncle Tom Cobley and all… I’ll say again that it is a marathon not a sprint, but it would be…

The joint NGO campaign to get a binding target for nature in the Environment Bill has raised over 82,000 signatures; 72,000 in Week 1 and 10,000 in Week 2. That may not sound great, but if you have been paying close attention, as I have, you’ll know that the first four days of the last…

The joint NGO campaign to get a binding target for nature in the Environment Bill is a week old and has raised over 72,000 signatures. It’s a marathon not a sprint, and with collaborative campaigns different organisations do their running at different times. But this has got off to a good start. Personally, I think…
