Rejected petition Ban the sale and use of single use barbecues, for the sake of UK nature.

The Wareham Forest blaze of May 202 is believed to be one of the most devastating forest and heath fires in Dorset in living memory.
The loss to wildlife was immense, and has pushed some species to the brink of extinction.
Single use barbecues must be banned immediately.

More details

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, whose crews from all 50 fire stations from across the service attended the incident at some point over the last week, said 220 hectares – the size of over 230 football pitches – of forest and heathland has been destroyed.
It started on Monday, May 18 through 'social activity' – discarded barbecues, campfires and glass bottles were found at the site.
This incident highlights how devastating and resource intensive heath and forest fires are.
