Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence to start bonfires at any time of the year

We need to stop bonfires and outdoor fires to help combat climate change. They're very harmful to the environment and emit lots of carbon dioxide. They also harm innocent wildlife and they are bad for the humans health. They also make our clothes smell and it's very selfish for other people.
