Make clothing manufacturers accountable for polluting the environment

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe that everyone in the 21st century has a right to clean water, therefore I want to petition the government to stop the fashion industry from polluting rivers wherever in the world their factory's are situated.

Stacey Dooley has recently highlighted the poisoning of the CHitaru River in Indonesia, churning toxic chemicals and heavy metals into the river system. She tried to get the company's such as H and M, Marks and Spencer and Monsoon to talk to her but they refused, businesses who trade in this country should be subject to certain environmental restrictions on their factory's no matter where in the world they are situated

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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We aren't sure what you mean by "make clothing manufacturers accountable".
