Rejected petition Make David Attenboroughs "A Life on Our Planet" mandatory for all U.K. schools.

Due to the current environmental issues facing our planet we believe it should be mandatory for all schools in the U.K. to show David Attenboroughs a life on our planet documentary film. This is so education and knowledge of this crucial issue is available and accessible for the younger generation.

More details

It is the worlds greatest problem and only we have the means to solve it. Global warming and other environmental problems will be the problems of future generations, we believe it is essential for the younger generation to be aware of what is happening to the natural world and what they can do to change it. Therefore we want David Attenboroughs film to be readily available for children in all schools, as it presents a clear message of what we have done to the world and what we can do to save it.
