On Saturday 12 October, thousands of people around the UK will meet with their MP to talk about action for nature and climate.
With a new UK Government now in place, nature’s recovery must be prioritised.

Will you take action to save the most important creatures on the planet?

People are taking meaningful action for nature and the climate, resulting in better decision making for the environment at both the local level and across the four nations of the UK.

After the World Health Organisation named Glyphosate, the main ingredient of most weed killers, as a ‘probable carcinogen’, linking it to many other serious human and animal health issues, some concerned individuals in Balerno started petitioning for their street and area to become pesticide-free.
