Add drain nets to waste drainage systems to stop plastic from entering the sea.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

After seeing this tested by Australia, I believe it's time we take further action in saving our planet. Unessary amounts of plastic are entering our seas every single day, and this could be a great step in the right direction. A small change to our drains could make a huge difference to the world.

'The new system of filtration managed to collect more than 800 pounds of garbage for a few weeks only.'

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for the owners of the waste drainage systems and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You can find out more about who is responsible for waste drainage systems here:

You could start a new petition calling for the Government to fund a pilot system of drain nets if that is something you would like to see happen.
