Petition Make it law for all companies to plant three trees for every one they cut down.

Deforestation is happening at an unsustainable rate. Not only is it putting the survival of millions of species at risk but is also accelerating the effects of global warming. The best way to combat this is for every company trading in the UK to plant at least three trees for every one it cuts down.
