Rejected petition Keep at least 20% of the land in each town as undeveloped fields or green spaces
At least 20% of the town's total area must be kept as undeveloped green space. Every time I go somewhere, I see people tearing up fields to make room for new roads when the roads still work and I think that one day soon, there will be limited green space left only CO2 and a lack of biodiversity.
More details
I think this should happen because if there are no fields or green space, then there is nowhere for trees to grow and therefore no way to turn CO2 into oxygen for us to breathe so we can stay alive and the less plants there are, the less oxygen there is for us to breathe so it could lead to very significant health problems. Without a plan like this, there will be a huge lack of biodiversity which could lead to extinction for many animals and then lack of food for us.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the lack of undeveloped or green space in some towns, but it's not clear how the Government could implement your request, especially in towns where more than 80% of land is already developed.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
