Make the first day of Spring David Attenborough day

What the petition asks
David Attenborough has dedicated and lived a life only some of us can dream of. If not for him we would know nothing of the things that go on around us all day everyday. I only find it fitting that we dedicate the first day of spring to an absolute legend. If any day belongs to anyone it is him.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you mean by "David Attenborough Day" - for example, whether you would like a new public holiday to be created or not. We're also not sure which day you'd like to be defined as the first day of spring.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
