What the petition asks

The impact on environment and danger to wildlife in undeniable.
The response to the similar petition, given by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on 22 May 2018 is unacceptable.
There are other, creative and meaningful ways we can celebrate and remember our loved ones.
Introducing the ban will send a clear message and save lives on our already tragically polluted planet. We're ought to protect them, for everyone's sake.
